화염 측광법에서 샘플 용액이 흡입되고 화염으로 휘발되면 미세한 물방울에서 용매가 증발하여 탈수된 샘플이 생성됩니다.
샘플은 바닥 상태에서 자유 기체 원자로 해리되며, 일부는 화염에서 에너지를 흡수하고 여기된 전자 상태로 전환됩니다.
여기된 원자는 수명이 짧고 바닥 상태로 돌아갈 때 특징적인 파장의 광자를 방출합니다.
화염 속의 부반응은 종종 원하는 방출 종의 개체수를 감소시켜 방출 신호를 감소시킵니다.
일반적으로 낮은 분석물 농도에서 방출 강도는 용액의 분석물 농도에 선형적으로 비례합니다.
그러나 더 높은 분석물 농도에서는 이러한 선형 관계의 편차가 관찰되는데, 이는 주로 기저 상태 원자에 의해 방출된 방사선의 자체 흡수가 증가하기 때문입니다.
화염 측광법의 응용에는 주로 임상, 바이오디젤 및 시멘트 샘플에서 알칼리 및 알칼리 토금속의 정량적 측정이 포함됩니다.

화염 광도계에서 염화칼륨과 같은 용액이 화염 속으로 흡인되면 용매가 증발하고 탈수된 염이 남습니다. 이 염은 바닥 상태의 자유 기체 원자로 해리됩니다. 이들 원자 중 일부는 화염으로부터 에너지를 흡수하여 여기를 일으킵니다. 여기된 원자는 바닥 상태로 돌아가 특정 파장의 광자를 방출합니다.전자 전이만 포함되기 때문에 결과적인 방출선은 매우 좁습니다. 방출된 방사선의 강도는 흡입되는 용액의 분석물질 농도에 선형적으로 비례합니다. 그럼에도 불구하고 이러한 선형성은 주로 교정 곡선의 하단에서 관찰됩니다. 분석물 농도가 높을수록 방출된 방사선을 재흡수할 수 있는 바닥 상태의 더 많은 원자가 선형 관계에서 벗어납니다.

최신 불꽃 광도계는 다중 분석물 다중 지점 교정 데이터를 자동으로 처리하고 샘플 희석 없이 측정을 수행할 수 있으며 최대 1000mg/L의 농도를 수용할 수 있습니다. 화염 광도측정법은 주로 임상 실험실에서 나트륨(Na), 칼륨(K) 및 리튬(Li)을 측정하는 데 사용되지만 다양한 분야에서도 틈새 응용 분야를 찾습니다. 예를 들어, 바이오디젤의 잔류 알칼리 금속을 측정하고 시멘트의 나트륨, 칼륨, 칼슘을 측정합니다. 과거에는 화염 방출 분광법을 사용하여 뜨거운 아산화질소, 아세틸렌 화염에서 최대 60개 원소를 측정할 수 있었습니다. 그러나 오늘날 원자 흡수 분광법(AAS)은 알칼리 금속 이외의 금속을 측정하는 데 주로 사용됩니다.

flame photometry and metal detection

Flame photometry is a method for detecting metals by measuring the light they emit in a flame. A solution such as potassium chloride is aspirated into the flame. The solvent evaporates first. The remaining salt becomes dehydrated and then dissociates into free gaseous atoms in the ground state.

Some of these atoms absorb energy from the flame and move to an excited state. When they return to the ground state, they emit photons at characteristic wavelengths. These emissions are very narrow because only electronic transitions are involved. The light intensity increases with analyte concentration in the sample.

This relationship is mainly linear at the low end of the calibration curve. At higher concentrations, the line can bend because more ground-state atoms can reabsorb the emitted radiation. Modern flame photometers can handle multianalyte, multipoint calibration data automatically. They can also measure samples without dilution and can accept concentrations up to 1000 mg/L.

Flame photometry is used most often for sodium, potassium, and lithium in clinical laboratories. It also has niche uses in other areas. For example, it can measure residual alkali metals in biodiesel and determine sodium, potassium, and calcium in cement. Flame emission spectrometry once measured up to 60 elements in hot nitrous oxide and acetylene flames, but atomic absorption spectrometry, or AAS, is now mainly used for metals other than alkali metals.

Element Analysis with Atomic Light Spectra

Atomic spectroscopy is used to identify and measure elements by their light signals. It supports both qualitative analysis, which tells what is present, and quantitative analysis, which tells how much is present. The optical methods in this group are atomic absorption spectroscopy, atomic emission spectroscopy, and atomic fluorescence spectroscopy. These methods begin with atomization. In this step, a solid, liquid, or solution sample is changed into gas-phase atoms and ions. Once the sample...

How Heat Changes Atomic Spectra

Heat changes atomic spectra by affecting atomization, excitation, ionization, and line shape. In atomic spectroscopy, atomization means converting a sample into gas-phase atoms and ions. The flame temperature needed for this step changes how efficiently the method works and shifts the balance between excited and ground-state atoms. At thermal equilibrium, the relative numbers of excited and ground-state atoms can be estimated with the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. A small temperature rise...

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy for Trace Metals

Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) measures trace metals by tracking how atoms absorb electromagnetic radiation (EMR). The absorbed light makes atoms move to a higher-energy orbit. In AAS, the key step is atomization, which converts the sample into gas-phase atoms. A flame or a furnace is typically used for this step. Inside the flame, some atoms become thermally excited. Most stay in the ground state, which is the lowest-energy state. These ground-state gas-phase atoms absorb EMR only when...

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Key Parts

Atomic absorption spectrophotometry uses a set of key parts to measure light absorbed by atoms. The main components are a radiation source, an atomizer, a monochromator, and a detector. Each part has a specific job in the instrument. The radiation source is usually a hollow-cathode lamp, or HCL, or an electrodeless-discharge lamp, or EDL. Both produce a narrow emission line at the needed wavelength. Some instruments instead use continuum sources with high-resolution monochromators to narrow...

Choosing Light Sources for AAS Measurements

Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) uses a light source that emits a very narrow range of wavelengths. This is needed because the source must match the absorption behavior of the analyte atom. The choice of source also depends on giving a precise, intense emission at the right wavelength for accurate detection. Two common line sources in AAS are hollow-cathode lamps (HCLs) and electrodeless-discharge lamps (EDLs). These lamps are selected based on the element being analyzed and the level of...

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Sample Atomization

Atomic absorption spectroscopy uses sample atomization to turn a liquid specimen into free atoms for analysis. The two main approaches are flame atomization and electrothermal atomization. Both methods prepare the sample so its atoms can be measured by the instrument. Flame atomization uses a nebulizer and spray chamber to mix the sample with a fuel-oxidant mixture. This creates a fine aerosol mist that enters the burner. The fuel and oxidant are usually close to a stoichiometric ratio, but a...

Correcting Errors in Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy

Atomic absorption spectroscopy interference can create systematic error by making the analytical signal or the background look stronger or weaker than it should be. In atomic absorption measurements, these errors are usually grouped as spectral interference, chemical interference, and physical interference. Spectral interference happens when signals from other elements or molecules overlap with the analyte signal, the substance being measured. This overlap can falsely raise or hide the analyte...

AAS Sample Prep and Calibration

Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) depends on careful sample preparation and calibration. Samples must be turned into clear solutions before measurement. That often means extra treatment to dissolve materials such as soils, animal tissues, and minerals. Common sample prep methods include hot mineral acids, wet ashing, combustion in closed containers, high-temperature ashing, and fusion with reagents. These steps help make the sample suitable for AAS analysis. Solutions that contain organic...

Atomic Emission Spectroscopy for Element Analysis

Atomic emission spectroscopy is used to identify the elements in a sample by measuring the light they emit. Atoms are first excited to higher energy levels by thermal energy from hot sources such as plasma, arcs, or sparks. When they fall back to lower energy levels, they give off light at specific wavelengths. Each element produces its own set of lines, so the emission spectrum can show both what is present and how much is there. AES instruments are similar to atomic absorption spectrometers,...

AES Sample Handling and Detection

Atomic emission spectrometry (AES) uses sample handling, atomization, and detection parts to measure emitted light from atoms and ions. The sample must first be changed into a gas-phase form so it can produce a measurable signal. AES uses two main atomizer types. Continuous atomizers, such as flames and plasmas, feed the sample in a steady stream. Discrete atomizers add one sample at a time with syringes or autosamplers. The electrothermal atomizer is the most common discrete type. Many...

Reducing Interference in AES Signals

Atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) can produce interfering signals when atoms and molecules in a flame or plasma emit overlapping light. High-temperature atomizers excite many species at once, including oxides, hydroxides, and flame combustion products. These extra emissions can make the analyte signal harder to read. Spectral interference happens when emission lines or bands overlap. One way to reduce it is to improve instrument resolution. Another is to choose a different emission line for...

ICP-AES Torch and Sample Analysis

Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy uses a plasma torch to analyze elements in a sample. This method is also called inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, or ICP-OES. It is widely used because the plasma creates a strong environment for elemental analysis. The ICP source, or torch, contains three concentric quartz tubes. Argon gas flows through the tubes. A spark from a Tesla coil starts the ionization of argon and creates a high-temperature plasma. The...

Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, or ICP-AES, uses an inductively coupled plasma to detect and analyze elements in a sample. The method measures the light given off by atoms, which helps identify and compare different elements. It is a common approach in atomic emission spectroscopy. ICP-AES instruments are built in three main forms: sequential, simultaneous multichannel, and Fourier transform instruments. Fourier transform designs are less commonly used, but they are...

Plasma Sources in Atomic Emission Spectroscopy

Atomic emission spectroscopy uses plasma sources to identify elements by their light. The method creates abundant spectra with characteristic emission lines. Inductively coupled plasma, or ICP, is especially useful because it gives strong quantitative data. It works well under stable conditions, with low noise, low background, and few interferences. Newer air-operated microwave sources are also being studied. These sources may be more cost-effective than conventional ICP systems. Atomic...

Measuring Elements by Atomic Fluorescence

Atomic fluorescence spectroscopy measures elements by detecting the light atoms give off after they are excited by electromagnetic radiation. The atoms are first placed in a flame, furnace, or plasma. They absorb energy, become excited, and then release that energy as they return to their original state. The emitted light is called fluorescence. The fluorescence is observed at a right angle to the incoming beam. This setup helps separate the emitted light from the light used to excite the...

Flame Emission Spectrometry Basics

Flame emission spectrometry uses a flame to excite elements in a sample so their light can be measured. It is also called flame photometry. The method can be used for both qualitative and quantitative analysis of elements. The idea became established in the early 1860s when Kirchhoff and Bunsen showed that specific elements give off characteristic radiation in a flame. The first instrument for this purpose measured sodium in plant ash with a Bunsen flame. A major problem was how to add the...
