The absorption of radiation by a sample of atomic particles, created by vaporizing the sample, represents a relatively simple spectral situation that has great practical value for elemental identification and concentration determination. The technique known as atomic absorption spectroscopy is of particular analytical importance for the determination of metals due to its sensitivity and potential for selectivity by virtue of the narrow atomic absorption lines.
The quality of analysis depend more on the quality of the operator than that of the instrument, so this course will help laboratory staff to understand meaning of spectroscopy, and to be apple to make elemental analysis with high sensitivity by spectroscopy.
