This thesis deals with optimization of conditions of photochemical generation of volatile species of nickel for atomic absorption spectrometry. The volatile species of nickel were generated in the flow arrangement, when sample was injected to a stream of a reaction medium. Either formic acid was used as the reaction medium or formic acid with the addition of formate anions. Two types of a generator were tested, a generator with a PTFE tube wrapped around a mercury UV lamp and a high efficiency generator with an inside channel. At the same time, two types of a gas-liquid separator were tested. Diffusion flame was used as an atomizer due to its high robustness. Quartz atomizer didn't provide higher sensitivity and measurements had worse repeatability. All the parameters affecting atomization in the diffusion flame were optimized (flow rates and composition of gases, observation height). In the next section, conditions of generation (irradiation time, HCOOH concentration, addition of formate anions) were optimized. Interferences of inorganic acids in photochemical generation were investigated as well. It was found out that the generator with the inside channel provided slightly higher sensitivity and thus generation efficiency than the generator with the PTFE tube wrapped around. Transmission of...
