AAS ölçümleri, tespit edilen analit sinyalinin büyüklüğünü gizleyen veya değiştiren spektral, kimyasal veya fiziksel parazitlerle karşılaşabilir.
Spektral girişim, bir interferentten veya atomizasyon alevinden gelen bir sinyal, analitin sinyaliyle örtüştüğünde, analitin absorbansını yanlış bir şekilde yükselttiğinde veya maskelediğinde meydana gelir.
Bu, Zeeman, Smith-Hieftze veya döteryum arka plan düzeltme teknikleri kullanılarak ele alınabilir. Ek olarak, yüksek çözünürlüklü spektrometreler, üst üste binen spektral çizgilerden kaynaklanan spektral paraziti en aza indirebilir. 
Kimyasal girişim kaynakları, atomizasyon verimliliğini düşüren uçucu olmayan tuzlar üreten matris bileşenleri ile analit etkileşimlerini içerir.
Bu tür parazitler, yüksek atomizasyon sıcaklıkları kullanılarak veya kompleks oluşturucu veya serbest bırakıcı maddeler eklenerek önlenebilir.
Ayrıca, bazı atomik analitler analiz sırasında iyonlaşabilir ve bu da emilimin azalmasına neden olabilir. Bununla birlikte, daha kolay iyonize olmuş bir elementin eklenmesi, analitin iyonlaşmasını baskılar.
Gaz akış hızlarındaki veya alev sıcaklığındaki değişiklikler gibi kimyasal olmayan faktörlerden kaynaklanan fiziksel parazitler, sık kalibrasyon, dahili standartlar veya numuneye bilinen miktarlarda analit eklenmesi yoluyla en aza indirilir.

atomik absorpsiyon spektroskopisi: girişim

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Interference

Girişim, analitik sinyali veya arka planı artırarak ya da azaltarak atomik absorpsiyon (AA) ölçümlerinde sistematik hatalara yol açar. Bu girişimler, spektral girişim, kimyasal girişim ve fiziksel girişim olmak üzere üç ana kategoriye ayrılabilir.

Spektral girişim, diğer elementlerin veya moleküllerin sinyallerinin analit sinyaliyle çakışması durumunda meydana gelir ve bu da, analitin absorbansını yanlış bir şekilde arttırabilir ya da maskeleyebilir. Bu girişim, Zeeman, Smith-Hieftje veya döteryum arka plan düzeltme yöntemleri kullanılarak düzeltilebilir.

Zeeman düzeltme yöntemi, bir manyetik alan kullanarak absorpsiyon çizgisini üç polarize bileşene ayırır. Bunlar, iki σ (kaydırılmış) ve bir π (kaydırılmamış)’dir. Analit ve arka plan absorbansları, manyetik alan sık sık değiştirilerek ayrı ayrı ölçülür, bu da karmaşık matrislerde doğruluğu artırılır. Smith-Hieftje düzeltme yöntemi, yüksek akımlarda içi boş katot lambası (HCL) darbeleri olarak çalıştırmayı içermektedir. Bu da, emisyon çizgisinin genişlemesine ve kendi tersine çevirmesini sağlar. Bu süreçte, merkezi analitik çizgi zayıflar. Bu, çizginin her iki tarafında da güçlü emisyona yol açar ve bu emisyon, arka plan tarafından absorbe edilir. Absorbans, normal ve yüksek akım koşulları altında ölçülerek analit ve arka plan sinyalleri arasında ayrım yapılmasına olanak tanır. Sadece tek bir ışık kaynağı gerektirse de, özellikle kendi kendini tersine çevirme yetersiz olduğunda veya geri kazanım çok yavaş olduğunda yöntemin hassasiyeti azalır.

Döteryum (D₂) arka plan düzeltme yöntemi, atomik absorpsiyon spektroskopisinde (AAS) arka plan absorpsiyonunu düzeltmek için D₂ lambasını geniş spektrumlu bir ışık kaynağı olarak kullanır. Dönen bir ayna, dar bantlı içi boş katot lambası (HCL) ile geniş bantlı D₂ lambası arasında dönüşümlü olarak çalışır. D₂ lambası, geniş bir dalga boyu aralığında arka plan absorpsiyonunu ölçerken, HCL belirli bir dalga boyunda analit ve arka plan absorpsiyonunu ölçer. İki sinyal arasındaki fark, analit absorpsiyonunu gösterir. Ekonomik olmasına rağmen, yüksek hassasiyet gerektiren ölçümlerde doğruluk noksanlığı vardır.

Ayrıca, yüksek çözünürlüklü spektrometreler, örtüşen spektral çizgilerden kaynaklanan spektral girişimi en aza indirebilir. Bazen, analit analizden önce bir çözücü ile tekrar ekstrakte edilebilir.

Kimyasal girişimler, istenmeyen matris bileşenlerinin analit ile etkileşime girerek atomizasyon verimliliğini düşürmesiyle ortaya çıkar. Atomizasyonu artırmak veya girişim oluşturan bileşiklerin oluşumunu engellemek için örneğe bir kimyasal modifikatör, örneğin serbest bırakıcı ajan veya kompleks oluşturucu ajan eklenebilir. Yaygın kimyasal girişimler arasında iyonlaşma ve refrakter bileşik oluşumu nedeniyle meydana gelen girişimler bulunur.

Analit ile aynı sıcaklıkta iyonlaşan elementler veya bileşikler, analitin iyonizasyonunu değiştirebilir. İyonizasyon, daha kolay iyonlaşan bir element içeren bir çözeltinin fazlalığı eklenerek baskılanabilir ve bu da analitin iyonizasyonunu engeller.

Ayrıca, analit ile numune matrisindeki diğer türler arasındaki kimyasal reaksiyonlar, kolayca atomize olmayan uçucu olmayan bileşikler oluşturabilir. Bu, absropsiyon için serbest atomların oluşumunu engeller. Bu tür girişimler, kimyasal bir rakibin eklenmesi veya çok yüksek sıcaklıkların kullanılmasıyla önlenebilir.

Kalibrasyon standartları, gerçek örneklerle benzer bir örnek matrisi kullanılarak hazırlanabilir; bu, matristen kaynaklanan kimyasal girişimlerin telafi edilmesine yardımcı olur.

Gaz akış hızı değişiklikleri veya alev sıcaklığı değişiklikleri gibi kimyasal olmayan faktörlerden kaynaklanan fiziksel girişimler, nebülizasyon veya atomizasyon sürecini etkiler. Bu girişimler, iç standartlar kullanılarak veya numune seyreltilerek çözülebilir. Numune matrislerini değiştirmek ve benzer bir matrisle kalibrasyon standartları hazırlamak, fiziksel girişimleri daha da azaltabilir.

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 absorbance. It can be reduced with Zeeman, Smith-Hieftje, or deuterium background correction methods. High-resolution spectrometers can also help minimize overlap from nearby spectral lines, and in some cases the analyte can be repeatedly extracted with a solvent before analysis.

The Zeeman correction method uses a magnetic field to split the absorption line into three polarized components. Two are shifted sigma components, and one is an unshifted pi component. The analyte and the background are measured separately by alternating the magnetic field, which improves accuracy in complex samples. The Smith-Hieftje method uses a hollow cathode lamp at high current. This broadens the emission line and causes self-reversal, where the central analytical line decreases. Strong emission remains on both sides of the line and is absorbed by the background. Absorbance is measured under normal and high-current conditions to separate analyte and background signals, but sensitivity can drop if self-reversal is weak or recovery is slow. The deuterium background correction method uses a D2 lamp as a broad-spectrum light source. A rotating mirror switches between the narrow-band hollow cathode lamp and the broad-band D2 lamp. The D2 lamp measures background absorbance over a wide wavelength range, while the hollow cathode lamp measures analyte and background absorbance at one wavelength. The difference between the two signals isolates the analyte absorbance, although this method is less precise in high-accuracy work.

Chemical interferences occur when matrix components in the sample react with the analyte and reduce atomization efficiency. A chemical modifier, such as a releasing agent or complexing agent, can be added to improve atomization or prevent interfering compounds from forming. Common chemical problems include ionization interference and refractory compound formation. If another element or compound ionizes at the same temperature as the analyte, it can change the analyte ionization. This can be suppressed by adding an excess of an element that ionizes more easily. Chemical reactions can also form nonvolatile compounds that do not atomize easily, which limits free atom formation for absorption. Adding a chemical competitor or using very high temperatures can help prevent this. Matching the calibration standards to the sample matrix also helps correct for matrix effects.

Physical interferences come from non-chemical changes, such as gas flow rate changes or flame temperature changes. These factors can affect nebulization or atomization. They can be reduced with internal standards, sample dilution, and matrix matching. Preparing calibration standards with a similar matrix can also help reduce physical interference and improve measurement reliability.

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...

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...

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...

atomic fluorescence spectroscopy

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...

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...
