Abstract: FAAS method was applied to the determination of metal impurities (in cluding Zn,Na,Pb,K,Fe,Ca and Mg) in high purity lithium carbonate.As shown by experimental results,values of RSD′s (n=9) obtained in the determination of the above mentioned impurity-elements,were in the range of 1.9%-4.4%.Working curves for these elements had fine linearity with correlation coefficient ranged from 0.994 3 to 0.999 8.Test for recovery was performed by standard addition method,giving results in the range of 98.3%-101.0%.
