The University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire will introduce the powerful            analytical technique of atomic absorption spectrometry to chemistry and         geology students at the undergraduate level.  A flame atomic absorption         spectrometer, including an electrothermal atomizer, will be acquired and        installed in place of the present, obsolete instrument.  The new                instrument will be introduced and used in two chemistry laboratory              courses, Quantitative Analysis and Instrumental Analysis.  Applications         will include comparison of this instrument with molecular absorption            instruments and a simple analysis in Quantitative Analysis and a                thorough familiarization and investigation of major instrumental                parameters in Instrumental Analysis.  Elemental analyses are critical to        the geological sciences so it is necessary to teach this widely used            technique.  Atomic absorption analyses will be done in at least three           geology courses including Geochemistry, Economic Mineral Deposits, and          Chemical Hydrogeology.  In addition, the instrument will be used                extensively in research projects in both departments.
