Figure 1

(a) scheme of the multicommutated flow system employed. 𝑆 : sample; 𝑅 1 : hypochlorite solution (carrier solution); 𝑅 2 : luminol solution; 𝑃 𝑝 : peristaltic pump; 𝑉 1 , 𝑉 2 , and 𝑉 3 : solenoid valves; 𝑋 and 𝑌 : confluence points; R C : reaction coil; 𝐷 : chemiluminometric detector; 𝑊 : waste. (b) schematic representation of solenoid valves actuation during each analytical cycle. 𝑉 1 , 𝑉 2 , and 𝑉 3 : solenoid valves; 𝑡 𝑠 : sampling time; 𝑡 𝑑 : insertion time of luminol, reaction of this with the mixture sample/hypochlorite and signal detection.
