Abstract

Flow-batch analyzers demand meticulous volume control for successful application in quantitative determinations, with the incorporation of high-efficiency pumps and valves recommended for their construction. However, routine recalibrations are frequently needed to uphold the accuracy of manipulated volumes, highlighting the value of exploring new alternatives for volume control and measurement, with less sophisticated apparatus. In this work a compact Flow-Batch (FB) analyzer with piezoelectric micropumps was developed to perform standard addition calibration, incorporating image-based detection to perform volume control. The instrument was evaluated by quantitatively determining Cr(VI), NO2, and Fe(II) in water samples, combining RGB-based colorimetry with established spectrophotometric methods. The results demonstrate that a comprehensive analysis with five standard additions can be completed in approximately 10 minutes, maintaining a suitable linear correlation (R2 > 0.99) and precision (0.4 ≤ RSD ≤ 12.1%). Recoveries between 90% and 105% for analyte levels below Brazilian regulatory limits underscore the accuracy of the proposed approach. The study confirms that digital image monitoring provides an elegant alternative for controlling solution volumes in FB systems, eliminating the need for more robust pumps with precisely controlled flow rates.

一个紧凑的流量批分析仪配备微型压电泵和基于图像的体积控制。
流量批分析仪需要细致的体积控制,以成功应用于定量测定,并结合高效泵和阀推荐其结构。然而,为了保持被操纵体积的准确性,经常需要进行常规重新校准,这突出了使用不太复杂的设备探索体积控制和测量的新替代方案的价值。在这项工作中,开发了一种紧凑的带有压电微泵的流量批(FB)分析仪来执行标准添加校准,结合基于图像的检测来执行体积控制。通过将rgb比色法与现有的分光光度法相结合,定量测定水样中的Cr(VI)、NO2-和Fe(II),对仪器进行了评价。结果表明,加5个标准的综合分析可在10分钟左右完成,并保持适当的线性相关性(R2为0.99)和精度(0.4≤RSD≤12.1%)。分析物含量低于巴西法规限制的回收率在90%至105%之间,强调了所提出方法的准确性。该研究证实,数字图像监控为控制FB系统中的溶液量提供了一种优雅的替代方案,消除了对具有精确控制流量的更坚固的泵的需求。
