Resumen

Different methods for a simultaneous determination of several analytes forming volatile compounds at room temperature are described. The main steps of these methods are: continuous generation, collection in a cryogenic trap, revolatilization, measurement of the volatile compounds by Gas Phase Molecular Absorption Spectrometry and resolution by multi-wavelength methods. Several mixtures containing 2, 3 or 4 components have been studied: 1) elements forming covalent hydrides; 2) arsenic organometallic compounds forming volatile gases with a similar structure to arsine; and 3) sulphur species that can evolve volatile compounds. Under the optimum conditions obtained for each mixture, detection limits range from 0.8 ng/mL (dimethylarsinic acid) to 2 μg/mL (SCN -). © Springer-Verlag 1996.
