Metal-organic frameworks combined with mid-infrared spectroscopy for the trace analysis of phosphates in water

Authors: Felix Frank, Bettina Baumgartner, and Bernhard Lendl. Detecting traces of phosphates in water is critical for monitoring water quality in aquatic ecosystems. Mid-infrared techniques are effective for label-free and quick measurements in at-line or in-line applications, but sensitivity is limited due to high water absorption. To combat this, preconcentration schemes combined with evanescent field...
