ANALYSIS OF METALS BY

ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROPHOTOMETRY

Principle:-

Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry resembles emission flame


photometry in that a sample is aspirated into a flame and atomized. The major
difference is that in flame photometry the amount of light emitted is measured, whereas
in atomic absorption spectrophotometry a light beam is directed through the flame ,
into a monochromator, and on to a detector that measures the amount of light absorbed
by the atomized element in the flame.

Apparatus:-

a. Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, consisting of a


light source emitting the line spectrum of an element ( Hollow cathode
lamp or electrodeless discharge lamp ), a device for vaporizing the
sample ( usually a flame ), a means of isolating an absorption line
( monochromator or filter and adjustable slit ), and a photoelectric detector
with its associated electronic amplifying and measuring equipment. Both
DC and AC Currents are used in AAS.
a.
b. Burner:-
A three-slot Boling head, which may be preferred for
direct aspiration with an air-acetylene flame; or a special head
for use with nitrous oxide and acetylene.
c. Recorder:-
Most instruments are equipped with either a digital or
Null meter readout mechanism.
d. Lamps:-
Use either a hollow-cathode lamp or an electrodeless
discharge lamp ( EDL )

e. Pressure-reducing valves:-
Use valves for each gas.

f. Vent::-
Place a vent about 15 to 30 cm above the burner to
remove fumes and vapors from the flame.
