| Abstract: | Atoms of several elements are produced when metal and certain silica refractory samples are heated in a flame. When concentrated HCL is then aspirated a signal enhancement occurs. The peak height of this signal can be used for the analysis of Mn and Cu in nails, Fe in brass and MgO in silica refractory. The technique is very matrix dependant and detection limits are poorer than for conventional atomic absorption. |
