Zusammenfassung:Flow injection (FI) methodology, using diffuse reflectance in the visible region of the spectrum, for the analysis of total sulfur in the form of sulfate, precipitated in the form of barium sulfate, is presented. The method was applied to biodiesel, to plant leaves and to natural waters analysis. The analytical signal (S) correlates linearly with sulfate concentration (C) between 20 and 120 ppm, through the equation S=-1.138+0.0934 C (r = 0.9993). The experimentally observed limit of detection is about 10 ppm. The mean R.S.D. is about 3.0 %. Real samples containing sulfate were analyzed and the results obtained by the FI and by the reference batch turbidimetric method using the statistical Student's t-test and F-test were compared. Um método potenciométrico para a determinação de minoxidil em formulações farmacêuticas baseado na reação redox entre K2Cr2O7 e o minoxidil, foi desenvolvido. Os melhores resultados foram obtidos usando concentrações de 1,00 x 10-2 mol L-1 para o minoxidil e 1,00 x 10-3 mol L-1 para o K2Cr2O7 ambos diluídos em uma solução em de H2SO4 2,00 mol L-1, a 60°C. As recuperações para método proposto foram da ordem de 98,7 % a 97,4 % dependendo da amostra comercial. O método proposto foi aplicado à amostras comerciais contendo minoxidil e, quando comparado com resultados obtidos a partir de procedimentos cromatográficos, apresentou concordância no nível de confiança de 95%, de acordo com o teste t-Student.
