Good day folks! I'm currently exploring alternatives to colorimetric analysis for the determination of phosphates in water. Would the Quimociac technique work for this application? Normally, I'd use colorimetric determination, but our lab does not have a spectrophotometer. I know that it isn't for water but, if I understand the chemistry of the quimociac technique correctly, it should work. However, I'm concerned that the relatively small levels of phosphates in the sample may lead to erroneously high results. Any feedback or advice in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
It is a viable, accurate and reproducible technique that takes a lot of time
besides, it is even recommended by the chemical education journal.

you can use kits for spectrophotometers, the prepared cells come, only the problem solution to be analyzed is added and the spectrophotometer already gives you the reading, fast and reliable

The literature is not much found on the 'Gravimetric Quimociac Technique' for the determination of phosphate in water sample. I appreciate your thought. Read the paper provided by Dr. Hakim - it is useful to understand the method.
Best luck
