Methods of Sample Thermal Modification by means Double Vaporization in Two Step Atomizer for Atomic Absorption Analysis

Öz After sample vaporization in two-step atomizer with a purged vaporizer sample vapors can be transferred into preheated or into non-heated atomizer. In the last case the atomizer walls trap the vapors and then the sample is second time vaporized and atomized by heating the atomizer. Thermal pre-treatment of a sample using this double vaporization makes possible the direct analysis of samples with strongly interfering matrices including solids. The technique was used for the direct determination of Cd and Pb in human urine, high concentrated water solutions of NaCl, Na2SO4, NaNO3, KH2PO4 and NH4H2PO4 matrices, potatoes, wheat, bovine liver, milk powder, grass-cereals mixture, caprolactam, bituminousshale and polyvinyl chloride plastic without chemical modification or any other sample pretreatment
