Abstract:
      Atomic absorption spectrometry and atomic emission spectrometry were applied to determine the contents of the four elements, potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium, in acid rain in this article. A comparison of the two methods was made in terms of sample pre-treatment, standard curves, detection limits, accuracy, precision, element interference and its elimination, etc. The results showed that there was no significant difference between the two methods, which indicated that both methods can be used for the quantitative determination of potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium in acid rain.
