The hollow cathode lamp-inductively coupled plasma-atomic fluorescence spectrometer system (Baird) has been evaluated for the measurement of Na, Cu, Ni, Ag, Fe, AI, Cr and Mg in a variety of organic solvents. Kerosene proved to be the best solvent. The system was evaluated for the effect of solution flow rate, oil content, 02 flow rate, RF power and observation height for the measurement of those eight elements in a 2% oil-98% kerosene mixture. Analytical figures of merit, including detection
