“…Several analytical techniques have been reported for the determination of iodate, including spectrophotometry (Afkhami & Mosaed, 2002;Pena-Pereira, Senra-Ferreiro, Lavilla, & Bendicho, 2010;Silva, De Oliveira, & Neves, 1998), chemiluminescence (Zui & Terletskaya, 1995), ion chromatography (McTaggart, Butler, Haddad, & Middleton, 1994;Rebary, Paul, & Ghosh, 2010), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Reddy-Noone, Jain, & Verma, 2007;Shin, Oh-Shin, Kim, & Ryu, 1996), high performance liquid chromatography (Xu, Li, Gu, & Paeng, 2004), indirect atomic absorption spectrophotometry (Chakraborty & Das, 1989), transient isotachophoresis-capillary zone electrophoresis (Wang, Zhao, Shen, Tang, & Wang, 2009), and electroanalysis (Huang, Li, Chen, & Wang, 2008;Lin, 1999;Sharma & Songara, 2007). Most of these methods are either time consuming, or require complicated and expensive instruments, or are not very sensitive.…”
