Atomic absorption spectrometry: general and basic principles

Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) is a method of elementary analysis of major and trace components with a limit of detection of the order of ppb. It allows the metering of metals and many inorganic materials (rocks and minerals metals and alloys ...). Its main applications are in metallurgy and in mineral chemistry.Atomic Absorption spectrometry consists in creating a plasma containing free atoms of elements to be measured in the excited state and in the ground state and in sweeping this plas...See More
