FLAMELESS ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY

摘要

Disclosed are methods and apparatus for concentrating a looked-for element from a solution for flameless atomic absorption spectroscopy. The tip of an electrode is dipped into a sample vessel containing the solution and an electric current is passed through the electrode and solution to electrodeposit the components of the solution on the electrode. The electrode with the electrodeposition is removed from the sample vessel and inserted into the graphite tube. The tube is then heated and the sample components electrodeposited on the electrode are atomized for analysis by the measuring beam of the atomic absorption spectrometer.
