This paper investigates the determination of palladium with a lamp for lead on an atomic absorption 1N spectrometer using flame photometry. The lines Pd 247.643 and Pb 247.638 are superimposed so that the lamp can be used to determine palladium. Measurements were taken using an air-acetylene flame. The lead content of the sample solutions was assessed by measuring the absorption at line 283.3; it varied in the range 50-70 microg/ml. It is demonstrated that palladium can be determined by modern spectrometers without the use of a lamp. The concentration of palladium in solution determines whether absorption spectroscopy (for high concentrations) or flame photometry is the preferred method for analysis and eventual recovery of palladium from waste.
