“…Various analytical methods have been proposed for the monitoring of nickel(II) in environmental matrices such as spectrophotometry [3,4], X-ray fluorescence spectrophotometry [5], atomic absorption spectrometry [6], inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry [7,8], inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry [9], voltammetry [10,11] and chromatography [12]. Most of these techniques, however, are either very expensive, suffer from many interferences or require highly skilled technicians.…”
