Despite considerable line broadening in the flame, measurement of li6 in the presence of a large amount of li7 was possible, although sensitivity was less than that reported for a hollow cathode source fig. Other methods better in terms of sampling efficiency and sensitivity. The simplest type is the total consumption burner that is used usually with the simple flame. Atomic absorption is so sensitive that it can measure down to parts per billion of a gram g dm 3 in a sample. The basic principles of atomic absorption spectroscopy can be expressed by three simple statements. Introduction flame atomic absorption spectrometry analytical methods 11 at low concentrations less than 10 gml solutions have been found to deteriorate quite quickly because of adsorption on the walls of the container. The analyte concentration is determined from the amount of absorption. We t and dry sample decomposition techniques, separation and preconcentration methods o f the target analytes have be en discussed.
The principle is essentially the same as with direct aspiration atomic absorption, except that a furnace, rather than a flame. Atomic absorption depends only upon the number of unexcited atoms, the absorption intensity is not directly affected by the temperature of the flame. Introduction the optical methods of chemical analysis make up a large group. One attachment is a flame burner, which uses acetylene and air fuels.
