NONG Yunjun, XIE Jidan, TANG Wanting, et al. Rapid determination of trace mercury in fly ash samples by pyrolysis zeeman atomic absorption spectrometry[J]. Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis SunYatseni, 2016,55(1):102-106.
In this paper a rapid and simple method using pyrolysis High Frequency Modulated light polarization coupled with Zeeman Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (ZAAS-HFM) was employed for the analysis of total mercury in fly ash samples. The factors those influence the experiment results
such as the sample matrix
quantity of samples
gas flow
memory effect
were studied. Under optimum conditions
the reproducibility of the method was within the range of 3.2%~3.8% for peak area and 5.2%~6.9% for peak height. The detection limit (3 σ ) was 0.002 0 μg·g
-1
and the recoveries were within the range of 94.2%~98.5%. Three fly ash samples and three standard reference materials were analyzed. These results were consistent with those obtained by the Cold Vapor Atomic Absorption mercury analyzer (CVAAS)
as shown by the result of t -test
no significant difference was found between these two methods. The method was simple,efficient and suitable for high throughput determination of total mercury in fly ash samples.
