22、ICP-MS) 3 Principle Graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) (also known as Electrothermal Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (ETAAS), discrete sample aliquots are dispensed into a graphite tube (of which there are several types), which can be heated to over 2 500 C very rapidly and in a

23、controlled manner. By increasing the temperature stepwise, the processes of drying, thermal decomposition of the matrix and thermal dissociation into free atoms occurs. Atomic absorption spectrometry is based on the ability of free atoms to absorb light. A light source emits light specific for a cer

24、tain element (or elements). When the light beam passes through the atom cloud in the heated graphite furnace, the light is selectively absorbed by atoms of the chosen element(s). The decrease in light intensity is measured with a detector at a specific wavelength. The concentration of an element in

25、the sample is determined by comparing the absorbance of the sample with the absorbance of calibration solutions. The signal-peak produced is, under optimum conditions, sharp and symmetrical, and of narrow half-width. The peak area is for most elements proportional to the concentration of the element

26、 in solution. The measurements are made at the wavelengths given in Table 2.

27、hallium 276,8 Vanadium 318,4 Zeeman background correction and platform use is common practice. If necessary, interferences may be overcome by adding a matrix modifier to the samples before analysis, or by performing the calibration with standard addition technique. The results are given as the mass

28、of analyte (micrograms or milligrams) per kilogram of dried sample materials. 4 Interferences and sources of errors The sample solutions prepared from digestion of samples may contain large amounts of substances that may affect the results. High concentrations of chloride may cause low results, beca

29、use the volatility of many elements is increased and analyte loss may occur during the pyrolysis step. High chloride concentrations interfere with TI determinations and result in severe losses of the analyte, avoid aqua regia digestions and use only nitric acid digestion according to ISO 16729. Matr

30、ix effects may be overcome, partially or completely, by optimization of the temperature programme, the use of pyrolytically coated tubes or platforms, the use of chemical modifiers, the standard addition technique and the use of background correction. 5 Reagents Use only reagents of recognized analy

46、) aqueous nitric acid solution for overnight, followed by rinsing with water before use. The nitric acid shall be replaced each week. NOTE It has been found convenient to keep separate sets of glass or plastics ware for the determinations given in this T echnical Specification, in order to reduce th

47、e possibility of within-laboratory contamination. Similarly, it can be convenient to carry out the acid cleaning step overnight. Certain kinds of plastic are affected by nitric acid, so care should be taken in the choice of plastic. Because of the high sensitivity of electro-thermal atomic absorptio

48、n spectrometry, stringent precautions should be taken to clean all glass or plastic ware and avoid contamination of sample, standard and calibration solutions from foreign material and dust from the laboratory atmosphere. 6.2 Atomic absorption spectrometer The atomic absorption spectrometer shall be
