Abstract

Graphite-furnace atomic absorption spectrometry is used to analyze sodium metal after conversion to sodium nitrate. Chromium, Ni, Co, Cd and Pb have detection limits in sodium of 0.18, 0.48, 0.11, 0.02 and 0.48 μg g-1; these are similar to the concentrations in nuclear-grade sodium, except for lead, which is below the detection limit. The behaviour of sodium nitrate, chloride and sulphate as matrices is compared.
