Development of new analytical method for preconcentration/speciation of inorganic antimony in bottled mineral water using FIA-HG AAS system and SiO/AlO/SnO ternary oxide.

In the present paper, a new analytical preconcentration/speciation method for antimony species determination in bottled mineral water samples using the SiO/AlO/SnO adsorbent was developed. The method is based on selective adsorption of Sb(III) ions by SiO/AlO/SnO under a wide pH range (2.5-7.
