Supercritical Carbon Dioxide As A Carrier For Sample Introduction In Atomic Absorption Spectrometry, S. R. Bysouth, Julian Tyson

Chemistry Department Faculty Publication Series

The use of a supercritical carbon dioxide carrier to transport organic solutions of metal complexes to a heated restrictor is demonstrated as a means of aerosol or vapour generation for sample introduction in flame atomic absorption spectrometry. Calibrations obtained using conventional pneumatic nebulisation of continuously aspirated solutions or using flow injection into a water carrier are compared with those obtained using the carbon dioxide carrier. Injection of solutions of copper pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate in 4-methyl pentan-2-one into a carbon dioxide carrier at 1000 p.s.i. was shown to be 1.2 times more sensitive than injection of the same solutions into a water carrier …
