    Area of Science:

    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Spectroscopy

    Background:

    • Atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) is a key technique for elemental analysis.
    • Traditional AAS methods often face limitations with spectral interferences and background absorbance.
    • High-resolution detection can improve the specificity and accuracy of elemental measurements.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel graphite furnace continuum source atomic absorption spectrometer.
    • To evaluate its capability for high-resolution, multi-elemental analysis.
    • To assess its performance in terms of detection limits, precision, and accuracy.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a graphite furnace continuum source atomic absorption spectrometer.
    • Employed a photodiode array detector for high-resolution spectral acquisition.
