9 Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry

9.1 Method summary The sample is treated into a solution. In an acidic medium, potassium borohydride is used as a reducing agent to reduce the mercury in the test solution to mercury vapor. Argon is used as a carrier gas to introduce it into the atomizer and measured by atomic fluorescence spectrometer. 9.2 Test procedures 9.2.1 Drawing of working curve Except for not adding stannous chloride reducing agent, prepare the standard series solution in five 50mL volumetric flasks according to the requirements of 8.2.1 and dilute with water to the scale.
