The Use of Atomization Under Pressure As A Means of Diminishing Vapor Phase Dissociation Interferences In Electrothermal Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

Abstract

The use of pressurized atomization represents a convenient means of reducing some vapor phase dissociation interferences in electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry. the explanation probably lies in the prolonged resi dence time of the sample vapor in the furnace in the case of pressurized atomization. the result is a higher vapor temperature and consequently a better dissociation of molecular compounds.
