Abstract

Very low concentrations of many elemental impurities are determined in a lead matrix by spark-source mass spectrometry using photoplate detection. In order to obtain semiquantitative results, at least one element /antimony/ should be accurately determined by an independent technique such as atomic absorption spectroscopy in order to be used as an internal standard.
