Another source of background absorption, particularly in ET AAS, is scattering of the primary radiation at particles that are generated in the atomization stage, when the matrix could not be removed sufficiently in the pyrolysis stage. Source: Internet
Other atomizers, such as glow-discharge atomization, hydride atomization, or cold-vapor atomization might be used for special purposes. Source: Internet
Swirl injection Swirl injectors are used in liquid rocket, gas turbine, and diesel engines to improve atomization and mixing efficiency. Source: Internet
Glow-discharge atomization A glow-discharge device (GD) serves as a versatile source, as it can simultaneously introduce and atomize the sample. Source: Internet
Hydride atomization Hydride generation techniques are specialized in solutions of specific elements. Source: Internet
