-The indirect determination of trace amounts of phosphate through estimation of the molybdenum in the phosphomolybdic acid complex has been improved. The lower limit of spectrophotomctric determination is about 0.I0 pg P.

In graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF-AAS), the atomization process of lead occurring in graphite atomizers with/without a platform plate was investigated when palladium was added to an iron-matrix sample solution containing trace amounts of lead. Absorption profiles of a lead line were measured at various compositions of iron and palladium. Variations in the gas temperature we...

Graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry (GFAAS) has been widely applied to the determination of trace elements in food due to its selectivity, simplicity, high sensitivity, and its capability for accurate determinations in a wide variety of matrices. Edible oils are generally low in trace element concentrations, however, metals such as arsenic (As), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromiu...
