How do we introduce liquid samples into the flame? Direct Insertion… Total Consumption Burner
VERY NOISY!! Total Consumption Burner
Concentric nebulizer Crossed-flow nebulizer
Ball-type Babington nebulizer for viscous samples V-Groove Babington nebulizer
Pre-mixed flame system with concentric nebulizer and spray chamber
Burner Head Design (Looking down from above) Emission/Fluorescence Absorption
Fraction of analyte present as neutral free gaseous atom in the flame
Background Emission from Flames Oxygen - Hydrogen Oxygen - Acetylene Nitrous oxide - Acetylene
Schematic Diagram of a single-beam atomic absorption spectrometer
The monochromator in an atomic absorption experiment simply isolates the appropriate spectral line from all of the lines emitted by the light source
