In spite of improvements in sensitivity due to modern analytical detection systems, conventional separation techniques are frequently used to overcome interferences from matrix elements and to improve detection limits through concentration of the analyte [1, 2]. Among different separation and enrichment techniques, batch and column techniques in ...
