Lead was determined in biomass and pyrolysis products using HR-CS GF AAS.
No sample preparation was necessary and aqueous standards were used for calibration.
The lines at 283.306 nm and 217.001 nm were used to cover the analytical range.
Sugarcane straw, rice husk and peach pit and their pyrolysis products were analyzed.
Between about 60% and 98% Pb were lost to the environment in the pyrolysis stage.
