description

Abstract Different strategies for coupling flow-injection manifolds to atomic absorption spectrometers in order to obtain better sensitivity are compared. Using a T-connector interface, different carriers and flow compensation solvents have been assayed in an attempt to improve the sensitivity of flow-injection analysis. Manganese and copper determinations in sewage sludge have been used as a test system and the analytical parameters of both batch and flow-injection methods are compared.
