Determination of Selected Elements in Coal Ash from Eight Argonne Premium Coal Samples by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry and Atomic Emission Spectrometry
By Michael W. Doughten
Table 8. Comparison of element concentrations in NIST standard reference material 1633a determined in this study with certified values and with concentrations determined in other studies.
[Concentrations for the first 14 elements are in micrograms per gram (µg/g); others are in weight percent. Methods used in this study: ICAP-AES, inductively coupled argon plasma-atomic emission spectrometry; GFAAS, graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry; FAAS, flame atomic absorption spectrometry. NIST, National Institute of Standards and Technology, formerly the National Bureau of Standards (NBS). Certified and information values for NIST 1633a are from NBS (1979). --, no data]
