In this paper, we measured the levels of metals including Pb, Cr, Cd, Ni, Hg, Fe, and Cu in the inlet and outlet wastewater of hospitals. The samples were taken from wastewater in Bushehr׳s province hospitals, Iran. After the collection of samples, the concentration levels of metals were determined by using graphite furnace absorption spectrometer (AAS) method (Varian, SpectrAA 240, Australia)....

The whole-blood lead levels of a group of motor mechanics in the Cape Peninsula were determined. Blood was analysed using a graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometer. The mean whole-blood lead levels of the motor mechanics and of urban controls were 28,4 micrograms/dl and 9,7 micrograms/dl respectively, and comparison of these with that of a group from an unpolluted rural area (3,4 microg...

The concentration distribution and microstructure of NiTi shape memory alloys produced in vacuum induction furnaces operating at high and medium frequencies are compared with those of materials melted in vacuum resistance furnaces. The production procedure consisted of charging pure metals into a graphite crucible; raising the temperature to 1450°C under vacuum; holding the materials in high an...

The evaluation of uncertainty measurement in the determination of Fe content in powdered tonic food drink using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry was carried out. The specification of measurand, source of uncertainty, standard uncertainty, combined uncertainty and expanded uncertainty from this measurement were evaluated and accounted. The measurement result showed that the Fe con...

The radioactivity of C and H in graphite samples from the dismantled Korea Research Reactor-2 (the KRR-2) site was analyzed by high-temperature oxidation and liquid scintillation counting, and the graphite waste was suggested to be disposed of as a low-level radioactive waste. The graphite samples were oxidized at a high temperature of 800 degrees centigrade, and their counting rates were measu...

The Thermo Scientific iCE 3000 Series Atomic Absorption Spectrometers are the ideal tool for the accurate and rapid determination of multiple trace elements in rice products. Flame atomic absorption can be used as a fast screening tool for the analysis of nutritional elements such as copper, manganese and zinc, while graphite furnace atomic absorption can be used for the accurate determination ...

The solid-phase extraction (SPE) method for the preconcentration of trace amounts of cadmium using synthetic zeolite A-4 and its determination by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) was investigated. The preconcentration conditions, such as the optimum pH range of the sample solution for the adsorption of cadmium and the kind of acid solution for dissolving the cadmium-adsor...
