| Abstract: | A procedure for the determination of submicrogram amounts of boron in aqueous solutions is described. The method is based on measuring the chemiluminescence of the molecular species BOx in either an air/hydrogen or air/acetylene flame. Detection limits obtained with these flames were 0.004 and 0.06 ppm, respectively. Potential interferences may be removed by ion-exchange chromatography. The procedure is applicable to the determination of boron in potable waters. |
