title: [Determination of trace Sn in geosamples by flow injection on-line co-precipitation hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry].
abstract: It is reported that a FI on-line co-precipitation technique for the pre-concentration of trace amount of Sn with the precipitate of Mg(OH)2 as carrier is hyphenated with AFS determination. The co-precipitation is carried out in NaOH medium and the precipitate is collected in a precipitation collector. The precipitate is then dissolved by HCl and reacted with NaBH4, the hydride is transferred directly into the atomizer. The relative standard deviation is 5.15% for 10 determinations of 30 ng.mL-1 Sn and the detection limit of 0.21 ng.g-1 is obtained. The developed method has been applied to the determination of trace Sn in geosamples with satisfactory results.
