Abstract
We present a review on flow injection analysis (FIA) system for the chemical analysis of iron and steel samples. This review begins with explanation of brief history of FIA. Next, precise determination methods for major components are presented. Methods for the determination of minor to trace components are classified with its methodology for separation of analytes from matrix are discussed, followed by the discussions of standard, non-separation method and the on-line electro-dissolution of samples. Finally, the review concludes with a brief examination of the near-term areas of research and development in FIA systems.
