Gas-phase atomization in analytical atomic spectrometry

Summary The most important problems of analytical atomic spectrometry are introduction of the sample into the atomizer and atomization of the sample. To solve these problems gas-phase atomization is suggested. This consists of preliminary isolation of the elements to be determined in the form of gaseous (volatile) compounds with subsequent gas-chromatographic separation. Separated compounds are fed into the atomizer individually in a stream of inert gas. This technique is the basis of development of dispersionless modes of atomic emission, atomic fluorescence and atomic absorption multielement analysis using non-selective detection.
