Effect of dissociation on the distribution of atoms from an aerosol particle in an analytical flame

Chemical interferences in atomization due to slow vaporization and dissociation

“…It is also interesting comparing profiles in Figure 1 with those shown in Li's paper (14). The maximum of the distribution appears much earlier when vaporization is not the decisive factor.…”

“…THEORY Assumptions and Simplifications. In the previous derivation (14), the following assumptions were made to give particular solutions to the Pick equations:…”

“…It is a measure of the rate of vaporization. Equations 3 and 4 have been discussed in great detail in Li's previous paper (14) and will not be considered here. Equation 5 can be employed for description of ionization interference which is not the major subject of this paper.…”

“…Effect of Vaporization. If one compares the dimension of k"in Li's paper (14) with that used by other people (21,22), one will realize that the magnitude of k" is dependent on the particle size, as is its lifetime, '. This is conceivable because the larger the particle is, the longer it will take to completely vaporize it.…”
