Abstract
Hollow cathode glow discharge atomic emission spectrometry has been applied to the determination of silicon coupled with a novel gaseous hydride generation technique, involving drying of an aqueous solution of silicate (sample) and mixing with powdered LiAlH4. Sample introduction into the glow discharge chamber was performed via a pinhole at the center of the cathode which was connected to the hydride generator. The detection limit for silicon was 6μg at 288.1 nm and 30 μg at 251.6 nm.
