Atomic Absorption & Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry
• Sample Atomization • Atomic Absorption (AA) • Atomic Fluorescence (AF)
- Both AA and AF require a light source - Like Molecular Absorption & Fluorescence,
in AA high intensity is NOT required, in AF high intensity results in greater sensitivity

AA
occurs in flame, plasma, etc.
Molecular emission is generally unwanted & can cause interference

There are many possible variations for the hydride generation apparatus
![Page 12: Atomic Absorption & Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometryfaculty.uml.edu/david_ryan/84.314/documents/InstrumentalSlides13-2016.pdfAtomic Absorption & Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry •](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042512/5f9fbc2e6e37460ab4753cb3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Interferences in AA can be • Spectral – atomic spectral lines overlap or
are too close to resolve – these are rare & generally well known or characterized
• Matrix – scattering of radiation during atomization (smoke), enhancement by matrix elements, structured background – handled by background correction
• Chemical – reactions that take place to alter the analyte (like Ca atoms reacting with PO4 to form a new species) – change conditions
![Page 13: Atomic Absorption & Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometryfaculty.uml.edu/david_ryan/84.314/documents/InstrumentalSlides13-2016.pdfAtomic Absorption & Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry •](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042512/5f9fbc2e6e37460ab4753cb3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Background Correction in AA • Two-Line correction (not very common) • Continuous source correction (very
common) • Zeeman background correction (common
for graphite furnace instruments) • Smith-Hieftje correction (relatively new ‘83)
![Page 14: Atomic Absorption & Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometryfaculty.uml.edu/david_ryan/84.314/documents/InstrumentalSlides13-2016.pdfAtomic Absorption & Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry •](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042512/5f9fbc2e6e37460ab4753cb3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Normal or idealized situation for the absorption of source radiation in AA Problems arise if the sample absorption is interfered with by a matrix component - sloped baseline - overlapping molecular band
Background correction is then needed
![Page 15: Atomic Absorption & Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometryfaculty.uml.edu/david_ryan/84.314/documents/InstrumentalSlides13-2016.pdfAtomic Absorption & Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry •](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042512/5f9fbc2e6e37460ab4753cb3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Normally assume baseline is flat not structured. In the absence of peak would have flat baseline Peak height easily measured
What if baseline is sloped? How is peak height measured? Need measurement of baseline
here & here
What if the baseline is really a mess?
Use Background Correction
![Page 16: Atomic Absorption & Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometryfaculty.uml.edu/david_ryan/84.314/documents/InstrumentalSlides13-2016.pdfAtomic Absorption & Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry •](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042512/5f9fbc2e6e37460ab4753cb3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The AA source (HCL or EDL) tells us the absorbance at the λ of interest
Using another light source will allow us to determine the background absorbance Typically we are interested in points on either side of the peak
![Page 17: Atomic Absorption & Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometryfaculty.uml.edu/david_ryan/84.314/documents/InstrumentalSlides13-2016.pdfAtomic Absorption & Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry •](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042512/5f9fbc2e6e37460ab4753cb3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
continuum source for background correction
line source for AA
![Page 18: Atomic Absorption & Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometryfaculty.uml.edu/david_ryan/84.314/documents/InstrumentalSlides13-2016.pdfAtomic Absorption & Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry •](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042512/5f9fbc2e6e37460ab4753cb3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
This shows (bottom ) that a continuum source is not suitable for AA. However, it will work for background correction. The atomic line absorbs minimally, but the back- ground on either side of the line will be measured
UV-vis Molecular Absorption
Attempt to use continuum source for Atomic Absorption
![Page 19: Atomic Absorption & Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometryfaculty.uml.edu/david_ryan/84.314/documents/InstrumentalSlides13-2016.pdfAtomic Absorption & Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry •](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042512/5f9fbc2e6e37460ab4753cb3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The Zeeman effect splits the absorption peak in a magnetic field & shifts absorption to higher & lower wavelength. The new absorption peaks interact differently with polarized light allowing analyte & background absorbance to be measured
![Page 20: Atomic Absorption & Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometryfaculty.uml.edu/david_ryan/84.314/documents/InstrumentalSlides13-2016.pdfAtomic Absorption & Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry •](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042512/5f9fbc2e6e37460ab4753cb3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Smith-Hieftje technique splits the HCL line
Self-reversal or Self-absorption

Another type of matrix interference not alleviated by background correction involves variable amounts of
analyte ionization in flames or plasmas
![Page 22: Atomic Absorption & Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometryfaculty.uml.edu/david_ryan/84.314/documents/InstrumentalSlides13-2016.pdfAtomic Absorption & Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry •](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042512/5f9fbc2e6e37460ab4753cb3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
One other factor (other than temp.) that influences degree of ionization is the presence of another easily ionized species. Here K enhances the Sr AA signal by suppressing Sr ionization

Atomic Fluorescence – use an intense light source to excite AF of elements in a flame or plasma.

Emission Spectroscopy Using Plasmas, Arcs or Sparks
• Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) • Direct Current Plasma (DCP) • Arcs and Sparks
Plasma = hot ionized gas or region with such a significant number of charged species as to dramatically change its electrical & magnetic properties. Often called the 4th state of matter.
