Abstract
Flameless atomic absorption spectroscopy has been successfully applied to the analysis of trace levels of gold, silver and cobalt in milligram quantities of aluminum. The two-line method of background correction was used with good, but not total, success. The reproducibility of the measurements was excellent, and the results compared very well with the expected values.
