Abstract

The detection of ionic alkyllead compounds using the coupling of flow injection analysis system-hydride generation (FIAS-HG) with transversely heated graphite atomizer atomic absorption spectrometry (THGA-AAS) has been worked out. Very low limits of detection can be achieved if the hydride products are enriched in the graphite furnace. Under optimised conditions (concentration of sodium borohydride, hydrogen peroxide and acidity as well as the furnace temperature) calibrations are carried out in the range of 0.1 to 5 μg/L. With a 1.5 mL sample loop, the limit of detection is calculated to be about 7 ng/L, but it can be lowered to below 1 ng/L if larger sample volumes are used for the enrichment.
