Dissolve in a Instrumentation When the stock standard is diluted with water only, precipitation and absorption are susceptible and concentration values drop with many elements. Mix the solutions again before measuring the A Unicam 919 atomic absorption spectrophotometer (Pye Unicam, England) was used for the determination of all other elements at wavelength settings characteristic of each element. The elements are determined with an atomic absorption spectrophotometer against calibrated standards.
