Dual-opposite end multiple injection method applied to sequential determination of Na, K, Ca, Mg ions and free and total glycerol in biodiesel by capillary zone electrophoresis.

A novel method for the sequential determination of sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium and free and total glycerol in biodiesel by capillary zone electrophoresis is proposed herein. The inorganic cations were separated along an effective length of 43.5 cm.
