Contemporary Methods of Detecting Heavy Metals in Waste Waters (Review)

Аннотация

The necessity of monitoring the quality of waste waters and their specific features require the presence, development, and improvement of an instrumental analytic base, as well as the implementation of methods of detecting pollutants, including heavy metals. This review article characterizes methods of elemental atomic absorption, optical emission, and mass-spectral ecoanalytical monitoring of waste waters, which are of greatest practical interest. Particular attention is paid to methods using operations on separating and concentrating trace heavy metals.
