A great challenge in the area of heavy metal trace detection is the development of
electrochemical techniques and devices which are user-friendly, robust, selective, with low …

Metal speciation analysis has wide applicability and reveals how and when metals are
available to engage in chemical processes. Real systems can be physically hard to reach …

Sediments in the Deûle River (northern France) are severely polluted by metals in the
vicinity of several metallurgical plants. The aim of this paper is to identify the role played by …

Recent advancements in electroanalytical methodologies for the analysis of trace metals in
natural waters are summarized. The research and technological progress was centered on …

Boron-doped diamond electrode surfaces were modified by a polyphenol—polyvinyl
chloride membrane. The polyphenols were extracted from the skin of acorns, the fruit of the …

The biogeochemical behaviors of small rivers that pass through suburban areas are difficult
to understand because of the multi-origin inputs that can modify their behavior. In this …

Biological and chemical measurements were performed in mesocosms to investigate the
bioavailability of copper, with a greater emphasis on the effects of competing ions and …

An automatic trace metal monitoring station (ATMS) have been implemented in the river
bank of the Deûle canal in the city of Auby (northern France), in the vicinity of metallurgical …

Hand-collected grab samples are the most common water sampling method but using grab
sampling to monitor temporally variable aquatic processes such as diel metal cycling or …

Based on automatic on-line measurements on the Deûle River that showed daily variation of
