Atomic Absorption
|
This method
is used for the determination of
metals content of samples using
flame atomic absorption. A sample is
initially ashed and digested in a
strong acid. The solution is
filtered and sprayed into a flame
where a beam of light of a given
frequency passes through to a
detector. Some of the light is
absorbed by the ions in the flame
giving an indication of the
concentration of metal in the sample
relative to a calibration curve.
This method is currently used for:
sodium, potassium, vanadium, iron,
aluminum, copper, nickel, manganese,
and silicon.
