Abstract
The effect of pyrocoated graphite, uncoated graphite, metal-carbide, and metal atomization surfaces on the quantitation of molybdenum and ytterbium by electrothermal atomization atomic absorption spectrometry was investigated. The peak shape was affected by heating rate and the different surfaces gave different shapes. Except for the case of uncoated graphite, the sensitivities and detection limits were similar for all surfaces. In a sodium chloride matrix it is preferable to use uncoated graphite for molybdenum because an ashing stage greater than the boiling point of sodium chloride can be used without loss of molybdenum. Tube lifetime depended on atomization temperature, atomization time and the matrix.
