A simple and rapid method was established for the direct determination of vanadium in an oil sample using the tungstencoated graphite-furnace AAS. The interference of the sulfur compound could be suppressed by choosing the ashing temperature. If the sulfur concentration in the sample is diluted to 1.0 wt% or less, the interference can be suppressed. This proposed method should make important contributions to the quality control of petroleum refineries.
