Abstract

The direct determination of cerium by atomic absorption spectrometry has been reported in the literature (16) but with poor sensitivity. Little information on this topic is available. This inverstigation was undertaken to determine conditions favoable for detection of cerium at low concentrations. The initial investigation was to locate a suitable line. Optimum fuel to oxidant ratio, lamp current, burner height, solvent system, and pH were studied. Extraction methods were also investigated.
