“…The application of sophisticated instrumentation such as FI-CV-ICP [28], FIA-ICP-MS [29] or ETV-ICP-MS [30] has also been described for the determination of metal species. The present method was based on the complexation of nickel complexed with N-quino [8,7-b]azin -5-yl-2,3,5,6,8,9,11, 12octahydrobenzo[b] [1,4,7,10,13]pentaoxacyclopentadecin-15-yl-methanimine in presence of Triton X-114 (non-ionic surfactant) at pH 8.0 ± 0.2 using either HCl or NaOH. Optimum experimental conditions were investigated with respect to a standard solution of the same matrix, in order to examine the possibility to obtaining the maximum extraction efficiency with minor sample treatment and minimal experimental conditions.…”
