Development of electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry in 2005–2016

详细

The review covers publications of 2005–2016 on achievements in the development of electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS). The main directions in the authors’ opinion are revealed, i.e., (1) improvements of the method and equipment and (2) studies of thermochemical processes in a graphite furnace. In the first group, the authors consider high- and low-resolution continuum source atomic absorption spectrometry, diode laser atomic absorption spectrometry, new designs of electrothermal atomizers, and new devices for ETAAS. Studies of mechanisms of element atomization, formation of analytical signals, and action of chemical modifiers belong to the second group.
