近二十余年来,火焰光度计应用在钾、钠的分析工作中在很大的程度上有效地代替了化学分析。关于这方面的工作,前人们曾作过不少试验,如Biffen,West,Mosher曾用缓冲液或补偿离子溶液做过水或石灰岩中测定钾、钠及钙的研究工作;池田重良、石田良平用火焰激发进行了铝合金或岩石中测定碱金属的研究;Kuemmel在生铁中测定了钾、钠及钙;和也曾在土壤中测过钾。这些文献都给予我们很多启发,不过,因为仪器性能不同,试验条件及干扰影响亦不一致,再者他们大都用 Nearly two decades, the flame photometer used in potassium, sodium analysis to a large extent, the effective replacement of chemical analysis. For example, Biffen, West, and Mosher have conducted research on the determination of potassium, sodium and calcium in water or limestone by using buffer or ion-exchange solution; Ryuichi Ikeda and Ishida Ryunobu A flame excitation test for the determination of alkali metals in aluminum or rock; Kuemmel determined potassium, sodium and calcium in pig iron; and potassium had also been measured in soil. These documents give us a lot of inspiration, however, because of the different performance of instruments, test conditions and interference are not the same, and most of them use
