Abstract

Nanogram amounts of cyanide were indirectly determined by molecular emission cavity analysis. The method is based on the reaction of cyanide with sulphite-formaldehyde addition compound and the measurement of the S2 emission produced either from the sulphite released or from the addition compound. The relative standard deviations are 2.13% and 1.66% and the recoveries are 99% and 100% using the released sulphite peak and the addition compound peak, respectively. Potential interfering anions were investigated.
