This work propose the development of analytical procedure for on line tin determination in analytical solutions by thermospray flame furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (TS-FF-AAS) as alternative to nitrous oxide-acetylene flame by atomic absorption spectrometry, whose oxidant presents high costs with respect to air. Parameters were evaluated for the optimization of the system: flow of the carrier (air), volume of injected sample and concentration of the acid (HCl). The linear analytical curve [A= -0,00163 +0,00319 Sn], (r = 0,9998) ] was constructed on interval of 10 the 80 mg L-1 Sn. The detection limit, the relative standard deviations (n=12) and analytical frequency were: 1,7 mg L-1 Sn, £ 2,7% and 120 h-1, respectively. The TS-FF-AAS is an alternative for the determination of Sn.
