Quantitative analysis of heavy metals in water samples of the Chapala lake by X-ray fluorescence analysis

  • 1. Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Nucleares, Mexico City

Description

Seven samples of water from Chapala Lake were sent to the ININ X-Ray Fluorescence Laboratory. The presence of Fe, Ni, Cu, Hg and Pb in general could be observed, The results for Pb and Hg were compared with those obtained by atomic absorption in laboratories at the SARH (Ministry of Agriculture and Hydraulic Resources). Corrections had to be made in order to quantify the amount of mercury. There are good working conditions to perform routine analyses of heavy metals ions in water. (author)
