Abstract: A continuous-flow system with gravimetric detection is proposed. Sample and reagents are injected into air carrier streams and the ppt. yielded after merging the streams is retained by a filtration unit placed on analytical balance; after drying, the ppt. is weighed. Dissolution and filter conditioning under segmented-flow conditions are achieved by passing washing solution through the filter. The potential and limitations of the approach, the need for a calibration graph and the main parameters involved were studied using a model system based on barium oxalate. The coefficient of variation were ~3% and sample throughput was 30 h-1. A continuous-flow system with gravimetric detection is proposed. Samples and reagents are injected into air carrier streams and the ppt. yielded after merging of these streams is retained by a filtration unit, placed on the plate of an anal. balance. After partial and reproducible drying, the ppt. is weighed. Dissolution and filter conditioning under segmented-flow conditions are thereafter achieved by passing intermittent washing solutions through the filter. The potential and limitations of the approach, the need for a calibration graph and the main parameters involved were studied with a model system based on barium oxalate. The system handles ~30 samples h-1, yielding results in agreement with expected values (relative standard deviation ~3%).

Abstract: A flow injection procedure for gravimetric determination of reducing sugars was developed. The system was designed to permit the monitoring of an inline formed suspension. In view of the high density of the ppt., a product of oxidation of reducing sugars by Fehling reagent, the Archimedes principle was exploited, so that the ppt. was weighed inside the flowing stream. Sample and reagents were simultaneously injected into two convergent carrier streams flowing through a reaction coil immersed in boiling water under reflux. The ppt. was formed, cooled, accumulated on a sintered glass mini-filter and weighed. An acidic solution was then injected into both carrier streams to promote inline solubilization of the ppt. Characteristics of the filtering device, geometry of the debubbler, flow rates, wash solution and possibilities of weighing with the filtering unit on the plate of the anal. balance or suspended under it were studied. Also, effects of reagent concentration, temp., surfactant addition and available time for reaction were studied. The gravimetric flow injection system was very stable and required only 0.64 g Cu2+ per determination Ppt. drying was not needed. Precise results (relative standard deviation usually <0.9%), in agreement with an official titrimetric procedure, were obtained within 0.20 and 1.00%(w/v) invert sugar. A new weighing was accomplished every 6th minute.
