BACKGROUND The aim of this paper was the validation of a new analytical method based on the high-resolution continuum source flame atomic absorption spectrometry for the fast-sequential determination of several hazardous/priority hazardous metals (Ag, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) in soil after microwave assisted digestion in aqua regia. Determinations were performed on the ContrAA 300 (Analyt...

Atomic and molecular clusters are being recognized as playing an important role in the thin-film deposition process and phase-change phenomena. Furthermore, small clusters are the most adequate system for the verification of quantum molecular dynamics calculations such as the interference of light and matter. Hence, experimental treatments of such atomic and molecular clusters are now desired. ...

background : heavy metals and pah s in flue gas have received considerable attention in recent years due to their mutagenic or carcinogenic properties. pah s are products of incomplete combustion of carbonaceous compounds at high temperatures. heavy metals are released into the ambient air from the same sources as those earlier mentioned for pah s . the present study was carried out to investig...

Depth profiling and atomic intensity correlation studies on mineralogical inclusion embedded in calcium carbonate phase using a miniature laser mass spectrometer are presented. The method allows the determination of complex phases.

The setup including low-resolution spectrometer with the charge-coupled device (CCD) detector, continuum radiation source and filter furnace (FF) atomizer was employed for direct simultaneous determination of Al, Fe, Mg, Cu and Mn in coal slurry. In the FF, sample vapour entered absorption volume by filtering through heated graphite. Absorption spectrum within 200–400 nm was repeatedly recorded...
