Comparison of AAS, ICP-MS, and pXRF Performance for Copper Analysis in Agricultural Soils [PDF]
Accumulated copper (Cu) in agricultural soils is non-biodegradable and persists in the environment, which imposes the need for its regular monitoring by selective, rapid, simple, and low-cost analytical techniques.

Optimisation of Electrokinetic Extraction System: Colourimetric Determination of Copper (II) in Sand Using Polymer Inclusion Membrane. [PDF]
Electrokinetic extraction (EKE) allows the direct transfer of heavy metals from soli samples, such as soil and sediment, into a polymer inclusion membrane (PIM) with a colourimetric detection. This avoids length and complex sampling handling and extraction processes.
