Determination of copper in sugarcane spirit by flame atomic absorption spectrometry using a ternary solvent mixture (water-ethanol-acetone)
The present work describes the use of a homogeneous ternary mixture of the solvents water, ethanol, and acetone to improve the determination of copper in sugarcane spirit by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The solvent ratio used (on a volume basis) was 5.0:5.0:15.0 (water:ethanol:acetone). The...
