Abstract

Dependence of flame photometric detector response on burner design and other parameters, such as flow rates of H₂, O₂, air, and mode of mixing was investigated. These parameters affected the response of sulfur, phosphorus, and arsenic test compounds to a varying degree. Addition of helium to the flame caused an enhancement in sulfur and phosphorus response, and a 3-fold increase in S/N ratio was obtained. With optimized conditions, a minimum detectable limit of about 3 pg methyl parathion was obtained. Under suitable conditions good sensitivity and selectivity (over carbon) were observed for triphenyl arsine.
