Abstract An electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometric procedure was developed for the determination of mercury in sewage sludge, in which the samples were suspended in a solution containing hydrofluoric and nitric acids. Silver nitrate (4%, m/v) and potassium permanganate (3%, m/v) were incorporated as matrix modifiers, and aliquots were directly introduced into the graphite furnace. A fast-heating program with no conventional pyrolysis step was used. The detection limit for mercury in a 50 mg/mL suspension was 0.1 μg/g. Calibration was performed by using aqueous standards. An analysis of certified reference materials confirmed the reliability of the procedure.
