Tungsten wire has the advantages of high melting point (3422°C) and fast heating rate. It can be used as an atomizer in electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometer, combining with the advantages of small-sized charge-coupled device (CCD) as a detector; thereby making the spectrometer has the advantages of low energy consumption and miniaturization. At present, the portable tungsten coil electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometer (W-coil ETAAS) has been applied in many fields such as simultaneous determination of multiple elements, chemical modifiers, electrothermal evaporation…
