An Automatic Flow-Batch Standard-Addition Method for Sodium Determination in Alcohol Fuel by Flame Photometry

A agência brasileira que regulamenta a produção e comercialização de álcool combustível estabelece que a concentração de sódio deve ser determinada usando a fotometria de chama e curva analítica construída com soluções padrão preparadas em uma matriz que se assemelhe às amostras. Todavia, essa metodologia pode produzir resultados inexatos porque o álcool combustível apresenta uma variabilidade ...

Simultaneous Determination of Sodium and Potassium in Small Volumes of Fluid by Flame Photometry

INTRODUCTION In two earlier papers (Ramsay, 1950; Ramsay, Falloon & Machin, 1951) a method was described by which it was possible to determine the concentration of sodium in samples of fluid of the order of io~ cu.mm. in volume. This method has now been extended to include the determination of potassium simultaneously upon the same sample. It is still in the experimental stage of development; w...

The determination of sodium in small volumes of fluid by flame photometry.

The determination of magnesium in biological materials by flame photometry.

A method is described for the measurement of magnesium in biological materials and has been applied to the Unicam flame spectrophotometer SP 900. Samples were diluted in 10 mM strontium ethylenedinitrolo tetraacetate (EDTASr), 10 mM potassium carbonate, giving final magnesium concentrations of about 0.1 to 0.2 mM. The EDTASr almost eliminated the depression of magnesium emission by interfering ...

The determination of calcium in biological fluids by flame photometry.

The use of flame photometers has greatly simplified and expedited the estimation of sodium and potassium. Calcium is one of the elements which it is possible to determine by flame photometry, but little advantage has been taken of this fact in biological work for a number of reasons. The concentration of calcium in extracellular fluids is usually less than that of potassium ; a given quantity o...
