Abstract
A thermogravimeter was combined with an atomic absorption spectrometer. The atomic absorption could be measured simultaneously with the thermogravimetrical changes under identical conditions. Optimum experimental conditions were determined using solid mercury halides and mercury(II) nitrate, by varying the sample weight and the flow rate of the carrier gas. The absorbance versus temperature curves obtained with this system for mercury halides and nitrate are compared with the corresponding thermograms. This apparatus may be useful in obtaining much more information concerning the gases evolved in thermogravimetry and the atomization processes of many metal-containing substances in atomic absorption spectrometry.
