| Abstract | Accurate simultaneous analysis of different anionic species using ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) can be achieved even for non-specific sensors by resorting to an ordinary least squares multiple regression in the vicinity of the predicted concentrations. In this work the potentialities of this approach are evidenced by the determination of nitrate and chloride in synthetic and real water samples in which chloride concentration was significantly higher than nitrate. An AgCl/Ag(2)S electrode based on a homogeneous crystalline membrane together with a PVC electrode based on tert-octylammonium bromide dissolved in dibutylphthalate were used as potentiometric detectors for chloride and nitrate, respectively. For the implementation of the procedure, an automatic system based on sequential injection analysis was used. The results obtained by the standard addition method were biased for low concentrations of nitrate and were dependant on the relative proportion of NO(3)(-)/Cl(-). The results obtained by the proposed methodology for chloride determination were slightly better when compared to those obtained by the standard addition method. In relation to nitrate determination, the proposed methodology yielded values with a relative root mean square error of prediction (RRMSEP) of 2.8%, while for standard addition calibration, mean error values were approximately 12.1%. |
