Abstract:A method for the determination of available molybdenum in soil samples by Tamm solution extraction and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry has been presented. The correlation coefficient of available molybdenum standard curve is 0.9995, the detection limit is 0.005mg/kg, and the quantitation limit is 0.018mg/kg. The applicability of the method has been investigated by using certified reference materials. The measured value of the method is basically consistent with the certified value, the relative error (RE) is less than 4.17%, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) is less than 7.87%. The detection limit of the method is low, the precision and accuracy are good, which will meet the requirements of soil sample testing and simplified the work flow. The work efficiency has been improved. It is suitable for the determination of available molybdenum in batch soil samples.
