    Abstract:
    Phosphorus has been determined by electrothermal atomisation atomic absorption spectrometry with a molybdenum tube atomiser. The effects of interferents on the phosphorus signal have been investigated. Chemical interferences were eliminated by high-temperature pyrolysis. The detection limit for the molybdenum tube system was 2.3 ng (corresponding to 2.3 micrograms ml-1 when 1 microliter was injected into the atomiser) and the characteristic mass was 1.9 ng of phosphorus. A calibration graph method combined with high-temperature pyrolysis has been evaluated through the determination of phosphorus in biological materials. The sensitivity, accuracy and precision of the method were superior to or nearly equal to those of graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. The advantages of the high-temperature pyrolysis method are its simplicity and low cost.
