Application of furnace atomic non-thermal excitation spectrometry for the determination of non-metals

Abstract

Various atomic spectrometry techniques are used for the determination of elemental concentrations in a wide range of samples. Although procedures for the determination of metallic impurities are well established, the development of successful methods for the measurement of non-metal elements at trace levels has proved more difficult. In particular, better methods are required for the determination of B, Cl, P, S, Si, etc., in industrial and clinical samples.
