Development of a new aerosol phase extraction method for metal determination through inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry

► Variables influencing the extraction yield are optimized with the new developed method ► Developed method is faster than the conventional one. ► Aerosol phase extraction gives rise to a more complete molybdenum extraction than the common liquid-liquid extraction procedure. ► Molybdenum can be extracted and removed from complex matrices such as high salt content solutions thus improving the accuracy of the method.
