Potential applicability of a high performance chelation ion chromatographic method to the determination of aluminium in antarctic surface seawater
In oceanography, aluminium is used as a tracer to fingerprint the location and magnitude of atmospheric dust deposition. Aluminium is particularly suitable as a tracer because of its short residence time in surface seawater, its relatively simple seawater chemistry and the fact that primary input to...
