Ten elements were determined by capillary electrophoresis (CE). Principal component analysis and cluster analysis techniques were Utilised to define grouping of different marble samples. These techniques showed that the analysed marbles were differentiable mainly by provenance. Experimental conditions such as pH. applied voltage and concentration of alpha-hydroxyisobutyric acid (HIBA) were optimised to achieve the best separation of metal ions using central composite design. The optimum pH 3.7, applied voltage 15 kV and concentration of HIBA 10 mM were found to provide the best separation for all metal ions investigated.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessChemistryCapillary electrophoresis (CE)Principal component analysisCluster analysisMarblesMetal ionsCharacterisationInorganic metal-cationsAlkaline-earthZone-electrophoresisSeparationOptimizationIonsChromatographyDifferentiationElectrolyteAmmoniumElectrophoresispH effectsMarbleArticle0002214343000342-s2.0-214270716645145963218969453Chemistry, analyticalCapillary Electrophoresis; Carboxylic Acids; WinesAcidityArticleCapillary electrophoresisCluster analysisElectric potentialPrincipal component analysisSeparation technique2 hydroxy 2 methylpropionic acidIsobutyric acidMetal ionUnclassified drug
