An FIA conductometric method for monitoring of ammonium ions in river and waste waters is proposed. A very good detection limit (xD 5.6 μmol l-1) was obtained at 100/20 s preconcentration/rinsing times and 2 ml sample consumption per analysis at the flow rate 0.8 ml min-1. The detection limit xD can be further improved at longer preconcentration/ rinsing times. Precipitation of polyvalent metal ions (mainly Fe(III)) was eliminated by addition of 0.5 mmol l-1 EDTA prior to injection. The results are comparable with those obtained by spectrophotometry (Nessler's reagent).

Sensitive flow injection analysis methods for the determination of free and total sulfur dioxide in wines are presented. The bound S(IV) was liberated by alkaline hydrolysis with 4 mol/l NaOH. All forms of S(IV) were liberated from the sample zone by sulfuric acid and subsequently transported through a microporous PVDF membrane. The penetrated gases were collected in water for preselected period and determined by conductometry with detection limit 1 mg/l and relative standard deviations 0.8 and 0.6% at 10 and 150 mg/l (n = 10) for free and total S(IV), respectively. The results are comparable with those obtained by standard titrimetric procedures with visual (Czech State Standard) and/or potentiometric indication.

A sensitive cataluminescence-based detecting technology using nanosized Mo4V6Ti10O47 as a probe was proposed for determination of formaldehyde in air. Trace formaldehyde was firstly absorbed on active carbon at room temperature to concentrate, then desorbed at 75°C to determine. The method showed high selectivity to formaldehyde at wavelength of 575nm, satisfying activity at temperature of 260°C and good stability at carrier flow rate of 145 ml/min. The linear range of CTL intensity versus concentration of formaldehyde was 0.04~78 mg/m3, and the detection limit (3σ) was 0.02 mg/m3. The recovery of artificial sample was 96.8%-103.4% by this method. There was no response to CO, CO2, SO2, NH3, methanol, ethanol, benzene, toluene and xylenes.

A new sensor based on cataluminescence (CTL) produced on the surface of nanosized TiW3Cr2O14 was demonstrated for direct determination of ammonia in air. Trace ammonia was firstly absorbed on active carbon at room temperature to concentrate, then desorbed at 105°C to determine. The sensor showed high selectivity to ammonia at wavelength of 540 nm, satisfying activity at temperature of 275°C and good stability at air carrier flow rate of 115 ml/min. The linear range of CTL intensity versus concentration of ammonia was 1.0~50 mg/m3 (γ=0.9990), and the detection limit (3σ) was 0.5 mg/m3. The recovery of artificial sample was 97.45%—102.73% by this method. There was no response to benzene, SO2, CO and formaldehyde, and insignificant response to ethanol. This gas sensor allows on-line monitoring of ammonia in air.

A rapid and sensitive cataluminescence (CTL)-based gas sensor using nanosized Y2Zr1.5O6 as a probe was proposed for direct determination of ether in air. Trace ether was firstly absorbed on active carbon at room temperature to concentrate, then desorbed at 65°C to determine. The sensor showed high selectivity to ether at wavelength of 510nm, satisfying activity at temperature of 310°C and good stability at carrier flow rate of 110 ml/min. The linear range of CTL intensity versus concentration of ether was 2~100 mg/m3, and the detection limit (3σ) was 1.1 mg/m3. The recovery of artificial sample was 95.4%—106.7% by this method. The response to formaldehyde, benzene, NH3 and ethanol was insignificant, and there was no response to SO2, CO and acetone. The technique is a convenient and fast way of determining ether in air.
