Speciation of Certain Trace Elements in Aquatic Environment
Mahmoud, Hazem H. / Saleh, Hosam El-Din M.
Two analytical techniques namely, atomic absorption spectrometry and ion chromatography were used for the total content analyses of heavy elements in water and sediments from Ismaelia canal. These elements are copper, lead, iron, nickel, cobalt, cadmium and manganese. Element speciation in natural water is important for its toxicity, bioavailability, environmental mobility and biogeochemical behavior. Ionic species of Cr(III) and the toxic Cr(...
