In addition to the general reviews referred to here, more narrowly focused reviews on specific aspects of environmental analysis appear in the following sections of this review. Reviews and books on field analytical chemistry (A2), environmental chemical analysis (A3), and chemometrics in environmental analysis (A5) have been published. Patnaik edited a handbook of environmental analysis (A4). Reviews of waste sampling and analysis (A6), soil analysis (A7), and chemical characterization of environmental and industrial particulate samples (A8) have also appeared.Various issues related to sample extraction and preparation for instrumental analysis have been reviewed by various authors (A9-A23). Microwave-assisted sample preparation is increasing in importance (A9-A11). Barwick noted that the use of some

Determination of Metal Ions in Water, Soil, and Sediment by Capillary Electrophoresis

“…[3] Besides, on-line pre-concentration and treatment methods for water samples have been reported in the METAL IONS IN WATER, SOIL, AND SEDIMENT 2055 literature. [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] The samples containing high ionic matrix cause problems in CE.…”

“…Various methods such as high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ion chromatography (IC), gas chromatography (GC), atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) and inductive coupled plasma spectrometry (ICP) have been used to identify the metal ions in environmental matrices. [3,4] However, still the determination of metal ions at trace level is a challenging job. In last one decade, a newly developed technique, capillary electrophoresis (CE) has been used as one of the tools for the analysis of transition metal ions at trace level.…”

Determination of basic azaarenes in aviation kerosene by solid‐phase extraction and HPLC‐fluorescence detection

“…Recently, there has been increased interest for analytical methods for a variety of derivatives of PAH such as hydroxyl-PAH, nitro-PAH, oxygenated-PAH, and azaarenes [11]. Azaarenes have become widespread in the environment through the extensive use of fossil fuels and have been found in a number of environmental compartments, including urban aerosols [6, 12 -15], marine and lake sediments [16,17], crude oil and petroleum products [3, 18 -24], and soil [25].…”
