    Thambidurai K
    This document discusses atomic absorption spectrophotometry, which analyzes metals by measuring the amount of light absorbed by atomized elements in a flame. It describes the basic principles and components of the apparatus, including a light source, flame device to vaporize samples, monochromator to isolate absorption lines, and detector. Various methods are listed for determining different metals, such as direct aspiration into flames or chelation followed by extraction into organic solvents.

    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.
