Flame atomic absorption spectrometric determination of multi element in apricot and soil samples after wet and microwave digestion method

Abstract

Iron, copper, zinc, manganese, nickel, cobalt, lead, cadmium and chromium in various apricot and soil samples were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry in this study. Microwave digestion method and wet ashing method efficiency were compared for digestion of the samples. Recovery values were nearly found quantitative. The analysis results were evaluated. The accuracy of the digestion procedures was confirmed by analyzing Montana Soil and Apple Leaves certified reference materials. There are no important differences between digestion methods. The results were compared with literature values. Relative standard deviations were found below 10 %. Heavy metal levels in analyzed samples were not found toxic limits.
