Each elementabsorbs radiation of specific wavelengths and the intensity of the absorbed radiation is proportional to theconcentration of said element4 PrincipleA sample of the metal or alloy is dissolved in a mixture of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid and, after adequatedilution and atomization of the solution into an air–acetylene flame, the content of the particular element isdetermined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry.Sample(s) of secondary zinc containing tin are dissolved in hydrochloric acid/hydrogen peroxide.NOTEFor lead contents (mass fractions) between 0,000 5 % and 0,005 %, the determination could be preceded by anenrichment of the lead by simultaneous precipitation with copper sulphide as a trace impurity scavenger from ammoniacalsolution in the presence of ammonium fluoride, a specified amount of thioacetamide being used as precipitating agent.SIST EN 12441-3:2004
