“…This analytical method is the most widely accepted procedure for the analysis of arsenic at the g L -1 level. For determination of arsenic, antimony, and selenium by the method of hydride generation and in situ concentration in a graphite tube, successful modifiers of the tube surface are palladium compounds, magnesium compounds, nickel compounds, iridium and zirconium (Cabon and Cabon, 2000;De-qiang et al, 1997;Matusiewicz and Sturgeon, 1996;Haug and Liao, 1996;Denkhaus et al, 1998;Bermejo-Barrera et al, 1998). Combining flow injection (FI) with flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) results in a powerful analytical tool offering important advantages over conventional FAAS.…”
