Metal fractionation of atmospheric aerosols via sequential chemical extraction: a review
2005
Smichowski, Patricia | Polla, Griselda | Gómez Sánchez, Juan Dario
This review surveys schemes used to sequentially chemically fractionate metals and metalloids present in airborne particulate matter. It focuses mainly on sequential chemical fractionation schemes published over the last 15 years. These schemes have been classified into five main categories: (1) based on Tessier’s procedure, (2) based on Chester’s procedure, (3) based on Zatka’s procedure, (4) based on BCR procedure, and (5) other procedures. The operational characteristics as well as the state of the art in metal fractionation of airborne particulate matter, fly ashes and workroom aerosols, in terms of applications, optimizations and innovations, are also described. Many references to other works in this area are provided.
