Application of a lab-made ternary Fe-Cr-Al coil vaporizer coupled to ICP OES for boron determination in powdered food after the sample preparation in alkaline media

• A ternary Fe-Cr-Al coil vaporizer was applied for trace-element determination. • The optimization of a sample preparation in alkaline media was carried out for boron determination. • No memory effect for boron determination using an ETV was observed. • Boron was determined in food samples. This work presents the development of a method for boron determination in food using a lab-made ternary Fe-Cr-Al coil vaporizer (composed of a glass...
