Abstract
This review describes applications of flow analytical systems to the determination of inorganic trace components in seawater and salt samples. Determination of trace components is important for understanding mass circulation, and for evaluating the degree of pollution in seawater, as well as for the evaluation of the quality of salts; however, trace analysis is not an easy task because of the high salinity of seawater. The flow analytical system can be a solution for preconcentration of analyte in addition to separation of matrix. Various applications of flow analytical systems to the analysis of seawater are classified with their analytes.
