Chemical analysis of particulate matter; determination of arsenic, antimony and selenium in dust emissions by atomic absorption spectrometry after separation of their volatile hydrides
This guideline describes a method for determining the fraction of the elements arsenic, antimony and selenium in dust emissions, for instance from waste incinerators, firing equipment, metal smelteries, metal processing and cement plants. The determination is carried out by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) after separating these elements as volatile hydrides.
