Abstract:

The feasibility of using spot tests coupled with ring oven separation for the monitoring of selected species in natural water sources was demonstrated. The species investigated and their concentration ranges were iron 0.1-10 ppm, lead .05-1.0 ppm, magnesium 10-5000 ppm, zinc 1-20 ppm, chlorides 10-20,000 ppm, fluorides 0.1-10.0 ppm, nitrates 1.0-20 ppm, sulfates 10-3000 ppm, copper 0.1-5 ppm, calcium 20-10,000 ppm, cadmium 0.01-0.1 ppm, chromium 0.01-1 ppm, cyanide 0.1-5 ppm, manganese 0.02-2 ppm, and phosphate 0.02-2 ppm.
