Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy

Name:
Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy
Detailed information:
An analytical technique in which the substance to be analyzed is converted into an atomic vapor by spraying a solution into an acetylene-air flame. Some types of compounds require a reducing flame, such as acetylene–nitrous oxide. The absorbance at a selected wavelength is measured and compared with that of a reference substance. The absorbance measured is proportional to the concentration.
