Abstract

An interface-free combination of HPLC separation techniques and methods for element determination by atomic spectrometry can be achieved by hydraulic high-pressure nebulization (HHPN). With high-temperature HHPN (300 ( degrees )C) super heated liquids can be nebulized providing aerosol yields of up to 90% in flame AAS. This new nebulization method combines the advantages of HHPN and thermospray techniques (very small aerosol droplets, high aerosol yield, nebulization of saturated salt solutions).
