Abstract
High-temperature equilibrium calculations are used to study potential interferences in the determination of aluminium by flameless a.a.s. The conditions for the formation of interfering aluminium compounds like AlO(g), Al 2O(g), Al 2O 3(s), AlOH(g), AlH(g), AlHO 2(g), AlS(g), AlN(g), AlN(s) and AlCl(g) have been calculated. The influence of kinetic parameters on the equilibrium calculations for the reactions involving carbon—oxygen and carbon—sulphur has been established by varying the input amount of carbon. The results indicate that even in the nanomole range the presence of elements like H, O, N, Cl and S may cause severe interferences during the atomization step (2300–2900 K)
