Purifying Compressed Air and Acetylene for Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy

Pages 2 Pages

Background: Atomic Absorption spectroscopy (AAS) is very commonly employed to quantitatively determine the concentration of a broad range of elements in a sample. Over 70 elements can be determined in liquid and solid samples. The technique involves atomizing the sample, typically with an acetylene flame, then irradiating the atoms with a source that provides a wavelength to excite the element of interest. The amount of energy that i
