Abstract
A method for the determination of nickel carbonyl has been developed using acid-washed coconut shell charcoal for sample collection and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry for measurement. The estimated relative standard deviation of the method is 0.099 and recoveries averaged 93.0%. The working range is 2 to 50 μg Ni(CO)4/m3 (0.4 to 7 ppb) for a 20-L air sample taken at 0.2 Ipm or less. Eller, P.
