Accordingly, the standard curve can be used as the standard curve by measuring the absorbance of standard solution an

14、emit not only a series of characteristic lines, but also the absorption and emission of line wavesPrinciple diagram of atomic absorption spectrometryPrinciple diagram of atomic absorption spectrometryCharacteristic lines of the same feature. When a characteristic wavelength of light emitted light by
15、 atomic vapor, which is equal to the frequency of the incident radiation of electrons in an atom from the ground state to a higher energy state (generally the first excited state energy) frequency required, characteristics of the outer electrons in the atoms of the same element will selectively abso
16、rb the emission the spectrum of the incident light. The degree of attenuation of characteristic spectral lines due to absorption is called absorbance A, which is directly proportional to the content of the elements being measured:A=KCK is constant in the formula; C is the concentration of the sample
17、; K contains all constants. This formula is the theoretical basis for quantitative analysis by atomic absorption spectrometryBecause the atomic energy level is quantized, therefore, in all cases,The absorption of atoms by radiation is selective. Because the atomic structure of each element and the a
18、rrangement of outer electrons are different, the energy absorbed by the element from the ground state transition to the first excited state is different, so the resonant absorption lines of each element have different characteristics. The atomic absorption spectrum is located in the ultraviolet and
19、visible regions of the spectrum.3 line profileAtomic absorption lines are not strictly geometric lines, but rather finite, narrow frequency bandsAtomic absorption spectrometry curveAtomic absorption spectrometry curveOr wavelength range, that is, a certain width. The atomic absorption spectrum is ch
20、aracterized by the central wavelength and half width of the atomic absorption spectrum. The central wavelength is determined by atomic energy levels. Half width refers to the difference of the frequency difference or the wavelength difference between the two points of the absorption line contour at
21、the center wavelength. Half width is influenced by many experimental factors. Two main factors affecting the atomic absorption spectrum line profile:1. Doppler broadening. The Doppler width is due to the thermal motion of atoms. Known from the physics, from a moving atoms emit light, if the motion i
22、n the direction away from the observer, the observer opinion, issued by the frequency is a static atom light frequency is low; on the contrary, such as atomic movement toward an observer, the frequency of a stationary atoms emit light frequency is high, this is Doppler effect. The analysis for atomi

24、quency is slightly different light. So the spectral line broadening of the.2. Collision broadening. When the atomic concentration in the atomic absorption region is high enough, the collision broadening is not negligible. Because the atom is stable, its life can be regarded as infinite, so the atomi
25、c absorption spectrometry used by the resonance absorption line, line width is only related to the average lifetime of the excited atoms, the average life expectancy is longer, narrower line width. Collisions between atoms cause the average lifetime of the excited atoms to shorten and cause the broa
26、dening of the spectral lines. Collision broadening is divided into two kinds, namely Mark hruz is wider and wider lorenz.Hruz Mark broadening refers to excited atoms and ground atoms collide with each other due to a broadening of the measured elements, called resonance broadening, also known as Mark
27、 hruz wide or wider pressure. In the usual atomic absorption determination conditions, atomic vapor pressure measured elements are rarely more than 10-3mmHg, the resonance broadening effect can not be considered when the vapor pressure reaches 0.1mmHg, the resonance broadening effect is obvious. Lor
28、enz width refers to the measured element atoms and other elemental atoms collide with each other due to the wide, wide known as lorenz. Lorenz becomes wider with increasing atomic vapor pressure in the region increases with temperature increasing.In addition to the above factors, there are other fac
29、tors that influence the broadening of spectral lines, such as field broadening and self absorption effects. But the absorption analysis experimental conditions in the usual atomic absorption line profile, influence mainly by Doppler and Lorenz widened. In the temperature range of 2000-3000K, the wid

31、e diagram of atomic absorption spectrometer1. Light source. The function of the light source is to emit characteristic resonant radiation of the element to be measured. The basic requirements of the light source is the half width of the resonance radiation emission was significantly less than the ha
32、lf width of the absorption line; radiation intensity, low background, characteristic of the resonance radiation intensity lower than 1%; the stability is good, within 30 minutes of drift is less than 1%; the noise is less than 0.1%; long service life to 5 ampere hours. Hollow cathode discharge lamp
33、is an ideal sharp line light source which can meet the above requirements and is widely used.2. Atomization. Its function is to provide energy, so that the sample drying, evaporation and atomization.In atomic absorption spectrometry analysis, the atomization of the elements in the sample is the key
34、link in the whole analysis process. There are two kinds of methods to realize atomization:Flame atomization is the earliest atomization method used in atomic spectrum analysis, and is still widely used today;Non flame atomization method, the most widely used method is graphite furnace electrothermal
35、 atomization.3. Splitter. It consists of incident and exit slits, mirrors and dispersive elements. The effect is to separate the required resonant absorption lines. The key component of the optical splitter is the dispersion element, and the commercial instruments use the grating. The resolution of

It can be used to distinguish the open nickel three line Ni230.003, Ni231.603, Ni231.096nm as the standard, and then use Mn279.5 and 279.8nm instead of Ni three line to verify the resolution.

The interference effects in atomic abso
39、rption spectrometry can be divided into four types: physical interference, chemical interference, ionization interference and spectral interference.1 、 physical interference and its suppressionPhysical interference is due to differences in physical properties of solution and standard solution, the i
40、nterference caused by the injection speed, injection volume, atomizing efficiency and atomization efficiency due to the change of. Remove and inhibit the physical interference often adopts the following methods:(1) prepare the standard solution which is similar to the sample solution to be tested, a
41、nd determine it under the same conditions. If the sample composition is unknown, using the standard addition method can eliminate physical interference.(2) as far as possible to avoid using the viscosity of the sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid treated samples; when the solution concentration is hig
42、h, the appropriate dilution solution can also inhibit the physical interference.2. Chemical interference and its inhibitionChemical interference is due to the measured elements and coexisting components undergo chemical reactions, volatile compounds generated from difficult or obscure, to reduce the
43、 number of ground atoms generated by interference. Chemical interference is the main interference in atomic absorption spectrometry. This interference is selective and has different effects on various elements in the sample. There are many factors affecting the chemical interference, but they are ma
44、inly determined by the properties of the determined elements and coexisting elements. In addition, it is also related to the type of flame and the nature of flame.In the process of flame and graphite furnace atomization, the mechanism of chemical interference is very complex. To eliminate or restrai
45、n its chemical interference, the following specific measures should be taken according to the specific situation:(1) increasing the flame temperature and properly increasing the flame temperature make it difficult to volatilize and make the compound more complete ground state atomization.(2) adding
46、diluents, adding release agents and interfering elements to produce more stable or more volatile compounds, so that the determined elements are released from compounds containing interfering elements.(3) most of the protective agents are organic complexes. It forms a stable complex with the determin
47、ed elements or interfering elements to avoid the generation of volatile compounds from the determined elements and interfering elements.(4) adding modifier with graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry, adding some chemical reagents to test or change the thermal stability of graphite tube in
48、the body or the element compound is measured, to avoid chemical interference, these chemicals known as matrix modifier.(5) the chemical separation method separates the elements to be interfered with the interfering elements by chemical method. It can not only eliminate the interference of the matrix
49、 elements, but also enrich the elements to be determined.3. Ionization interference and its suppressionIonization of some ionizable elements in the flame reduces the number of ground state atoms and reduces the sensitivity of the element determination. This interference is called ionization interference.Elements and compounds with low temperature flame or adding an excess of more easily ionized in solution (the deionization agent), can effectively suppress the ionization of the measured elements. Commonly used ionization inhibitors are CsCl, KCl, NaCl and so on.4 、 spectral interference and
