How are color and light absorption are related?
31
Just as light can be split into its various colors, so these colors can be recombined to form white light.
Mixing all these colored lights would give us white, but we can also use combinations of fewer colors tobut we can also use combinations of fewer colors to get white.
32
05/01/58
17
We can see that red, blue and green light add together to make white light. But where green overlaps magenta, white light is also formed. Same with red and cyan. And with yellow and blue.
We call these colors ‘complementary’
33
Complementary colors are on the opposite sides of the color wheel.
They help us understand the colors we see when light is absorbed. 34
05/01/58
18
If we take blue light away from white light (absorb blue), what color remains?
35
The absorption spectra of individual atoms have very distinct lines showing which energies of light have been absorbed as the electrons jump to higher levels.
36
05/01/58
19
The absorption spectra of compounds tends to have broad overlapping regions for all the possible electron jumps.
37
This is the type of absorption spectra which is obtained using a using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer.
The position of the peak shows the wavelength of the light most strongly absorbed and what % is absorbed.38

White light shining on a red object.
Red light is reflected- other colors absorbed (particularly green and similar colors).

This is a more realistic view of this. The reflected colors combine and are mixed in the brain to give the overall red color.

Basic principle
AAS is an analytical technique that measures the concentrations of elements. It makes use of the absorption of light by these elements in order to measure their concentration.

- AAS quantifies the absorption of ground state atoms in the gaseous state.- The atoms absorb ultraviolet or visible light and make transitions to higher electronic energy levels. The analyte concentration is determined from the amount of absorption. - Concentration measurements are usually determined from a working curve after calibrating the instrument with standards of known concentrationconcentration.- Atomic absorption is a very common technique for detecting metals and metalloids in a samples.

HCL
HCL contains a tungsten anode and a

Pyrex body
filled with an inert gas (Ne or Ar).
54
05/01/58
28
How HCL works?Applying a potential difference between the anode and the
cathode leads to the ionzation of some gas atoms (Ne/Ar).These gaseous ions bombard the cathode and eject metal atoms
from the cathode in a process called sputtering. Some sputtered atoms are in excited states and emit radiation characteristic of theatoms are in excited states and emit radiation characteristic of the metal as they fall back to the ground state.
The shape of the cathode which is hollow cylindrical concentrates the emitted radiation into a beam which passes through a quartz window all the way to the vaporized sample.
Since atoms of different elements absorb characteristic wavelengths of light. Analyzing a sample to see if contains a particular element means using light that element. 55

For example with sodium,A lamp containing sodium emits light from excited sodium atoms that produce the light mix of wavelengths to be absorbed by any sodium atoms from the sample.
A beam of the electromagnetic radiation emitted from excited sodium atoms is passed through the vaporized sample. Some of the radiation is absorbed by the sodium atoms inradiation is absorbed by the sodium atoms in the sample. The greater the number of atoms there is in the vapor, the more radiation is absorbed.

Atomizer
Elements to be analyzed needs to be in atomic sate.
Atomization is separation of particles into individual molecules and breaking molecules into atoms. This is done by exposing the analyze to high temperatures in a flame or graphite furnacegraphite furnace.
59
The role of the atom cell is to primarily dissolved a liquid sample and then the solid particles are vaporized into their free gaseous ground state form. In this form atoms will be available to absorb radiation emitted from the light source and thus generate a measurable signal proportional to concentration.
There are two types of atomization: Flame and Graphite furnace atomization.

Flame
Flame AA can only analyze solutions, Where it uses a slot type burner to increase the path l th d th f t i th t t llength, and therefore to increase the total absorbance
Sample solutions are usually introduced into a nebulizer the sample is dispersed into tiny droplets which can be readily broken down indroplets, which can be readily broken down in the flame.

The lowest excited state of a sodium atom lies 3.371X10-19 J/atom above the ground state. The degeneracy of the excited state is 2, while that of the ground state is 1 Let’s calculate thethat of the ground state is 1. Let s calculate the fraction of sodium atoms in the excited state in an acetylene-air flame at 600 K.
N* = g*e-∆E/kT

That is, less than 0.02 % of the atoms are in the excited state.68

Thus 99 996 % of Na atoms are in the ground stateThus 99.996 % of Na atoms are in the ground state.
Atomic emission uses excited atoms.
Atomic absorption uses ground state atoms.
69
How would the fraction of atoms in the excited state change if the temperature were 2 610 K instead?
N* = 2e-3.371x10-19/(1.381x10-23*2610)
No 1= 1.74x10-4
The fraction of atoms in the excited state is still less than 0.02 %, but that fraction has changed by 100*(1.74-1.67)/1.67 = 4 %

Atomization devices
Atomization:1. A process of forming free atoms by heat2 At i d i th t t t i ti2. Atomizers are devices that carry out atomization:
2.1 Continuous (constant temperature with time)-Flame-Plasma
2.2 Non-continuous (temperature varies with time)-Electrothermal-Spark discharge
72
05/01/58
37
Sample introduction systems
In continuous atomizers sample is constantly introduced in form of droplets, dry aerosol, vapor.
Nebulizer: A device for converting the solution into fine spray or droplets
Continuous sample introduction is used with continuous nebulizers in which a steady state atomic population is produced. Sample is introduced in fixed or discrete amounts.
73
Discontinuous samplers are used with continuous atomizers
1. Discrete samples are introduced into atomizers in many ways:
Electrothermal atomizers A syringe is used .A transient signal is produced as temperature changes with time and sample is consumed.
2 Indirect insertion (probe)2. Indirect insertion (probe)Sample is introduced into a probe (carbon rod) and
mechanically moved into the atomization region vapor cloud is transient because sample introduced is limited.
74
05/01/58
38
3. Flow injectionThe analyte is introduced into the carrier stream into a
nebulizer as mist
4. Hydride generationThe volatile sample is stripped from the analyte solutionThe volatile sample is stripped from the analyte solution
and carried out by a gas into the atomizer. This strip is followed by chemically converting the analyte to hydride vapor form.
5. With Arc sparkSolids are employed.
6. Laser microbe techniqueA beam of laser is directed onto a small solid sample, gets
vaporized, atomized by relative heating, Either sample is probed by encoding system or vapor produced is swept into a second absorption or fluorescence. 75
Nebulization gas is always compressed, usually acts as the oxidant, it is oxygen in flame and argon in plasma
Nebulization chambers produce smaller droplets p pand remove or drain larger droplets called aerosol modifiers.
Aspiration rate is proportional to compressed gas pressure. The pressure drops through capillary, here ¼ ill di t d d Thi i¼ capillary diameters are recommended. This is inversely proportional to viscosity of the solution.
Peristaltic and/or syringe pumps could be used.76
05/01/58
39
Oxidant and fuel are usually brought into nebulization chamber through a separate port. They mix and pass the burner head called premixed burner system.
Add organic solvents to reduce the size of the drop.

The fine mist of droplets is mixed with fuel (acetylene), and oxidant (air or nitrous oxide) and burned.
The flame temperature is important because it influences the distribution of atoms. It can be manipulated by oxidant and fuel ratiomanipulated by oxidant and fuel ratio.
79
Monochromators
This is a very important part in an AAS. It is used to separate out all of the thousands of lines. Without a good monochromator, detection limits are severely compromised.
A monochomator is used to select the specific wavelength of light which is absorbed by the sample, and to exclude other wavelengths The selection ofand to exclude other wavelengths. The selection of the specific light allows the determination of the selected element in the presence of others.
80
05/01/58
41
Detector and read out device
The light selected by the monochromator is directed onto a detector that is typically a photomultiplier tube, whose function is to convert the light signal into an electrical signal proportional to the light intensity.
The processing of electrical signal is fulfilled by a signal amplifier. The signal could be displayed for readout or further fed into a data station for printoutreadout, or further fed into a data station for printout by the requested format.
81
Calibration curve
A calibration curve is used to determine the unknown concentration of an element in a solution. The instrument is calibrated using several solutions of known concentrations. The absorbance of each known solution is measured and then a calibration curve of concentration vs absorbance is plotted.
The sample solution is fed into the instrument andThe sample solution is fed into the instrument, and the absorbance of the element in this solution is measured. The unknown concentration of the element is then calculated from the calibration curve.

Interferences
The concentration of the analyte element is considered to be proportional to the ground state
t l ti i th fl f t th t ff tatom population in the flame, any factor that affects the ground state atom population can be classified as an interference.
Factors that may affect the ability of the instrument to read this parameter can also be classified as anto read this parameter can also be classified as an interference.
84
05/01/58
43
The different interferences that are encountered in atomic absorption spectroscopy are:
1. Absorption of source radiation: Element other than the one of interest may absorb the wavelength being used.
2. Ionization interference: the formation of ions rather than atoms causes lower absorption of radiation. This problem is overcome by adding ionization suppressors.
3. Self absorption: the atoms of the same kind that are absorbing radiation will absorb more at the center of the line than at the wings, and thus resulting in the change of shape of the line as well as its intensity.
4. Background absorption of source radiation: This is caused by the presence of a particle from incomplete atomization. This problem is overcome by increasing the flame temperature.
5. Transport interference: rate of aspiration, nebulization, or transport of the sample (e.g viscosity, surface tension, vapor pressure, and density)85
Atomic emission spectroscopy
Atomic emission spectroscopy is also an analytical technique that is used to measure the concentrations of elements in samples.p
It uses quantitative measurement of the emission from excited atoms to determine analyte concentration.
The analyte atoms are promoted to a higher energy level by the sufficient energy that is provided by the high temperature of the atomization sources.
The excited atoms decay back to lower levels by emitting light . Emission are passed through monochromators or filters prior to detection by photomultiplier tube.
86
05/01/58
44
The instrumentation of atomic emission spectroscopy is the same as that of atomic absorption but without the presence of a radiation source.
In atomic emission the sample is atomized and the analyte atoms are excited to higher energy levels all in the atomizer.
87
Schematic diagram of an atomic emission spectrometer
88
05/01/58
45
The source of energy in atomic emission could be a flame like the one used in atomic absorption, or an ICP.
1. The flame (1700-3150 oC) is most useful for elements with relatively low excitation energies like sodium, potassium and calcium.
2. The flame (6000-8000 oC) has a very high temperature and is useful for elements of hightemperature and is useful for elements of high excitation energies.
89
