The various factors affecting the optimum performance of an
atomic absorption spectrometer with flow injection techniques
&re described. These include the study of dispersion processes
in the flowing stream by manipulation of the carrier tube
dimensions (diameter and length), the flow rate, the volume of
sample and physical properties of the solution such as viscosity,
chemical nature and level of dissolved solids. Investigation of
the peak shape produced by FIA-MS techniques leads to a simple
exponential model proposed to account for the absorbance–time
behaviour. By determining the volume of the hypothetical mixing
chamber, the model can be used for calibration purposes and
prediction of some of the experimental parameters. [Continues.]
