Physical Characterization of a New Atom Cell for Atomic Spectrometry: The Helium-Oxygen-Acetylene Flame.

Abstract

Physical characterization of a helium-oxygen-acetylene flame supported on a water-cooled burner has shown the flame to possess a high degree of laminarity and a maximum safe operating temperature of 2760 K(with 60% helium diluent). Safe operating conditions for the flame have been established to enable its safe and flashback-free operation. In addition, the spectral background of the flame has been examined and found to be relatively low compared to other high temperature flames, suggesting its use as a promising alternative atom cell for atomic emission, absorption, or fluorescence spectrometry.
