Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry of Chromium Using an Enhancing Effect of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate

Abstract In the atomic absorption spectrophotometry of chromium with the air-acetylene flame, the absorption of chromium was increased by about 120% in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) above the critical micelle concentration (CMC). This phenomenon was applied to overcoming interferences from many coexisting cations and some acids.
