Abstract
The terms recovery and apparent recovery are recommended to avoid confusion caused by the use of the term recovery to cover two distinct situations. These situations deal with: (a) the yield of a preconcentration or extraction stage of an analytical process (where recovery is recommended) and (b) the quantity observed value/reference value, obtained using an analytical procedure that involves a calibration graph (where apparent recovery is recommended).
