RESUMO

Thermospray flame furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (TS-FF-AAS) uses a metallic tube on the flame of the atomic absorption spectrometer. The sample is introduced in the tube by a ceramic capillary. In the development of this method, the parameters involved were studied and the optimal conditions consist of using air as carrier at 0.4 mL min, 200 mL of sample (in acid medium) which are injected in a nickel tube without holes in the bottom part and it is located in a oxidant flame with 1.5 L min acetylene: 12 L min air. Under these conditions, the limits of detection and quantification are 0.15 and 0.50 mg L, respectively. The values of silver concentration in certified reference materials of water (SRM 1643e, Trace Elements in Water) and fish (MA-A-2, Fish Flesh Homogenate) are 1.097 ± 0.062 mg L-1 and 0.094 ± 0.020 mg g, respectively, which correspond to 103 and 94% of the certified value. So, this work proposes a simpler and less time consuming alternative to determine silver in environmental samples that do not use preconcentration steps, frequently used when flame atomic absorption spectrometry is used.
