Abstract
A study was carried out for the development of direct determination of antimony in high purity copper metal without preseparation. The large excess of copper seemed to be performed as the matrix modifier to enhance the absorbance of antimony in copper metal. Sensitivity enhancement of Sb was obtained at the condition of the ashing temperature of $600^{\circ}C(20s){\sim}700^{\circ}C(10s)$ rather than $1000^{\circ}C(20s){\sim}1100^{\circ}C(10s)$, and the atomization temperature of $2200^{\circ}C.$ The operating pressure of argon gas was readjusted to the optimum condition at 2.0 kg/$cm^2.$ The linearity of the Sb calibration graph could be obtained in the range of 20 ppb up to 200 ppb Sb in existence of 5,000 ppm Cu with the coefficient of variation of about 5%.
고순도 구리 금속중에 존재하는 미량의 안티몬을 사전 분리시키지 않고 직접 분석할 수 있는 GFAAS 조건을 조사하였다. 과량 존재하는 구리가 안티몬의 감도를 향상시키는 matrix modifier의 역할을 하고 있음을 알았다. 희화 온도는 $600^{\circ}C(20s){\sim}700^{\circ}C(10s)$를 이용할 때에 $1000^{\circ}C(20s){\sim}1100^{\circ}C(10s)$보다 감도가 향상되며, 원자화 온도는 $2200^{\circ}C$에서 가장 좋은 Sb의 흡광도를 보였다. Ar 기체의 압력은 $2.0\; kg/cm^2$일때에 최적임을 확인하였으며, 20 ppb에서 200 ppb Sb 범위에서 변화율(coefficient of variation)이 5% 미만이며 직선 관계를 보였다.
