In this work, a micro-flow-batch analyzer (µFBA) using webcam for spectrophotometric determination of ortho-phosphate and aluminium(III) in tap water is proposed. PO43- and Al3+ determinations were performed by employing molybdenum blue and quecertin methods, respectively. In order to build linear analytical curves, a mathematical model was used on the basis of the RGB (red, green and blue) values. Working ranges were from 25 to 500 µg L-1 for both analytes with estimated limits of detection, relative standard deviation (RSD, n = 5) and sampling rate of 0.82 µg L-1, < 0.8% and 160 h-1 for PO43-, and 0.93 µg L-1, < 1.1% and 160 h-1 for Al(III). Comparing with the reference methods, no statistically significant differences were observed when applying the paired t-test at a 95% confidence level. Recovery study shows results between 98.1 and 102.8%. The proposed µFBA presented satisfactory portability, robustness, flexibility, low-cost device and reduced chemicals consumption.
