Summary
Three tellurium standards were analyzed by both spark source mass spectrometry (SSMS) and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry (GFAAS). From these results relative sensitivity coefficients (RSC) for spark source mass spectrometry were derived for 24 elements.
With these RSC's SSMS results within a factor 1.5 from the GFAAS values could be obtained for the determination of various impurities in tellurium. A comparison is made between SSMS, GFAAS and glow discharge mass spectrometry (GDMS) for the analysis of 4–6 N tellurium samples.
