ATOMIC ABSORPTION AND ATOMIC FLUORESCENCE SPECTROMETRY Chap 9 Atomization Flame Electrothermal (“furnace”)
SAMPLE INTRODUCTION METHODS Common Types of Atomizers (from SHN, 5e, Table 8-1) • Flame 1700 – 3100 °C • Electrothermal (“furnace”) 1200 – 3000 °C • Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) 4000 – 6000 °C • Electric arc 4000 – 5000 °C (e.g., Vreeland spectroscope)
Regions in a Flame Fig. 9-2 (most useful)
Laminar Flow Burner Fig 9-5 source hv • Advantages: • quiet flame • long path length • (usually 10 cm) • superior • reproducibility • compared to all • other methods • Disadvantages: • poor efficiency • short residence time
2100 -2400 °C • Flame Atomization hν hν (acetylene) Laminar flow burner head Fig. 9-13 (a)
hν in • Electrothermal Atomization (graphite furnace) Fig. 9-6 (a) • Advantages: • highly sensitive down • to pg of analyte • long residence time • more efficient than • flame • use with solid samples • Disadvantages: • poor reproducibility • small analytical range hν out

Graphite tube Graphite Furnace hv source detector
Correct position for injecting sample into graphite furnace If injection is too high, sample splatters and precision is poor
Heating profiles comparing analyte vaporization from walls and from platform (note constant T) not reliable reliable
Atomic Absorption Instrumentation The Source
Atomic Absorption Instrumentation Hollow-Cathode LampFig. 9-11 Ne or Ar at 1 – 5 torr Atoms sputter off cathode 300 V at 5 – 15 mA
Atomic Absorption Instrumentation Electrodeless Discharge LampFig. 9-12 EDL • Higher intensity than HCL • Performance less reliable
