An Analysis of the Concentrations of Heavy Metals in Monterey Harbor Utilizing the Methods of Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry and Polarography.
Abstract
As part of the Monterey Breakwater Project, six water samples were taken from the study area located offshore from Del Monte Beach east of Municipal Wharf No. 2 in Monterey, California. The heavy metals in the sea water were concentrated and removed using the ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC)--methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) solvent extraction system. The concentrations of the metals cobalt, copper, iron, lead, and nickel in the samples were determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. (Author)
