Direct Determination of Lead in Sea Water by High-Resolution Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy Using a Mixed Modifier Barium Nitrate–Hydrofluoric Acid

详细

A procedure is proposed for the direct determination of lead in sea water by electrothermal atomization high-resolution atomic absorption spectrometry. The effect of background interferences due to sea water matrix is eliminated using a mixed modifier barium nitrate–hydrofluoric acid. The optimum amount of the modifier matrix is 60 µg Ba (NO₃)₂ + 1.52 µg HF. The conditions of analysis are as follows: pyrolysis temperature 600°C, atomization temperature 1200°C. The limit of detection for the developed procedure is 0.0003 mg/L.
