Abstract
A flow injection system is proposed for the rapid and sensitive determination of trace concentrations of silver(I) based on its catalytic effect on the oxidation of gallocyanine by peroxodisulphate in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline as an activator with spectrophotometric detection. Silver can be determined in the range of 0.002–0.700 μg with a limit of detection of 0.001 μg. The relative standard deviation for ten replicate determinations of 0.035 and 0.170 μg of Ag(I) was 2.8% and 0.9%, respectively. The method was successfully applied to the determination of silver in real samples.
