The process according to this invention comprises the three steps evaporization of the sample with concurrent oxidation, collection of the oxides in a filter and measurement of the element concentrations by ashing the filter in an atomic absorption spectrophotometer or analysis of the filter in an X-ray spectrometer or an optical emission spectrophotometer. The induction furnace has been especially adapted.

Description

Process and Device for Element Determinations
This invention relates to a process and a device for the determination of elements by means of atomic absorption, ICP or other analytical methods.
The atomic absorption methods hitherto known have determined elements in complex materials by atomizing samples in a flame or in an electrothermal atomizer. These methods have substantial disadvantages. The detection limit is too low when the directly analyzed elements are not concentrated first. Matrix and interference effects of other elements result in a low precision of the measuring results. According to our invention, a new concentration method is therefore used in connection with atomic absorption, ICP and other analytical methods (e.g X-ray analyzer, emission spectrophotometry) to increase the detection limit and to improve measuring precision.
An atomic absorption method without chemical sample preparation is known from the DE-32 23 334. In this process, samples are pressed and placed into a sealed graphite con¬ tainer. The container is placed into the flame of a plasma burner and the sample burnt at high temperatures. During this step, partially fractional evaporisation of the elements occurs in the gas phase.
It is the object of the process and device according to this invention to offer a remedy for the disadvantages described above.
The process according to our invention can be applied to elements or their oxides whose volatility at high temperatures is higher than that of the matrix.
This is case with the following elements: Al, Ag, As, B, Ba, Bi, Ca, Cd, Ce, Ga, Ge, Hg, In, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, Nb, Os, P, Pb, Rb, Re, Ru, Se, Si, Sn, Sr, Ta, Te, Zn.
The induction furnace required for the process according to our invention is known from the state of the art and has been especially adapted to suit the process. The details can be seen from the description of the figures and the claims.
The process according to our invention consists of the following steps:
- evaporization of the samples with concurrent oxidation
- collection of the oxides in a filter and
- measurement of the element concentration by ashing the filter/filter aliquot in an atomic absorption spectropho- tometer or direct measurement on a X-ray spectrometer or measurement on an optical emission spectrophotometer. The individual steps are described in detail in the claims and the description of the figures.
Further advantages of the invention can be seen from the description of the figures, which shall be taken as purely descriptive and not as limiting in any way.
The figures show the following:
Fig. 1 shows a sectional view of the induction furnace according to the invention.
Fig. 2 shows a flow chart of the process steps.
Fig. 1 shows a sectional view of the induction furnace, which is already known in its basic elements. The ceramic crucible 16, in which the sample to be analyzed is placed, is put on the base 18 within the quartz tube 12. The crucible 16 is surrounded by a heating device 14, which may act inductively or in some other way. At the top, the quartz tube is covered by the cylinder 24 and at the bottom respectively a ground plate 20 with seals 34 between the quartz tube 12 and the cylinder 24 and the ground plate 20 respectively ensuring a tight seal. Alternatively, the combustion tube may also consist of one piece made of quartz or some other material. A carrier gas is passed into the interior of the induction furnace 10 via a tube 22 arranged in the ground plate 20. Oxygen (02) is used as a reaction gas and passed into the interior of the induction furnace 10 via a tube 26 according to our invention, which, through an opening in the cylinder 24, projects into the interior >f the induction furnace 10 above the ceramic crucible. The upper section of the cylinder 24 contains a filter 30 according to this invention, which can be taken out and replaced by means of the changing device 28. The filter 30 serves to collect the combustion products resulting from the combustion process. An exhaust duct 32 in the cover area of the cylinder 24 serves to carry off the carrier and reaction gases.
Fig.2 shows a flow chart of the individual steps of the process according to our invention for element determinations by means of atomic absorption, X-ray fluorescent analysis and emission spectrophotometry.
According to our invention, a few grammes of the sample to be analysed are placed in the ceramic crucible 16. 0.8-1.2g tungsten powder are added. The crucible 16 is placed on the base 18 and put into the interior of the quartz tube 12.
Then the gas pipes for the carrier gas and the reaction gas are connected. The next step is switching on the induction furnace and burning the sample at ca. 2.100° Kelvin. As a result of the combustion in the reaction gas flow (0,) , the elements are carried off in the form of volatile oxides by the carrier gas. They are collected in the form of solid particles in the ashless paper filter 30, a ceramic filter, a metallic filter or some other filter. When the combustion process is completed, the filter 30 is taken out of the cylinder 24 and is now - as a whole or in part - available for analysis.
An aliquot of the filter or the filter as a whole is then placed into the graphite crucible of an atomic absorption spectrophometer and analysed as known. It may also be analysed on an X-ray spectrometer or an optical emission spectrophotometer. As an example, optimum analytical conditions and results are described for the elements As, Sn, Sb and Pb in tables 1 and 2.
Table 1 shows the optimum ratio 1/d (Fig. 1), i.e. the ratio between the distance of the filter to the combustion area (1) and the quartz tube diameter (d) limiting the combustion space. The results shown in table 1 have been obtained in experiments.

The filter matrix of the filter aliquot is burnt during the ashing process in the graphite furnace of an atomic absorption spectrophotometer and carried off. This results in a substantial reduction or even total exclusion of the non- selective absorption of light during the atomizing phase.
The nonseleσtive absorption of light is increased at low ashing temperature. With excessively high temperatures, element loss due to evaporisation has been observed. The optimum ashing temperature in the graphite furnace of an atomic absorption spectrophotometer determined in experiments, can be seen in table 2.
