Determination of Germanium by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry Following Volatile Hydride Generation

Mechanism of volatile hydride formation and their atomization in hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry.

The mechanism of volatile hydride generation (HG) and the formation of analyte atoms in the quartz cell atomizer used in the determination of hydride-forming elements (As, Bi, Ge, Pb, Sb, Sn, Te etc.) by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), have been critically reviewed. The nascent hydrogen mechanism failed to explain hydride generation under different experimental conditions when tetrahydrob...

Determination of lead in wine and rum samples by flow injection-hydride generation-atomic absorption spectrometry.

A method for direct determination of lead in wine and rum samples was developed, using a flow injection hydride generation system coupled to an atomic absorption spectrometer with flame-quartz atomizer (FI-HG-AAS). Lead hyride (PbH(4)) was generated using potassium ferricyanide (K(3)Fe(CN)(6)), as oxidant and sodium tetrahydroborate (NaBH(4)) as reductant. Samples were acidified to 0.40% (v/v) ...

Determination of selenium in Teucrium species by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry.

Hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (HGAAS) was applied for determination of selenium content in dried aerial parts of wild and cultivated Teucrium species (Lamiaceae) growing in Croatia: T. arduini L., T. chamaedrys L., T. flavum L., T. montanum L., T. polium L., and T. scordium L. subsp. scordioides Schreb. Special attention was paid to the wet oxidation procedure for the sample...

Determination of Arsenic in Biological Material by Hydride Generation Atomic Absorption Spectrometry Method

A hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry method for arsenic determination in biological material was prepared. The samples were digested in muffle furnace at 550oC. The ash was dissolved in 4.5 N hydrochloric acid and the final solution was diluted in 10% hydrochloric acid. The arsenic was determined using a Perkin-Elmer atomic absorption spectrometer equipped with electrodeless disc...
