The direct determination of elements in solid samples by atomspectrometric methods without prior digestion is in many cases more efficient and reliable, faster, easier, more cost-effective and less time-consuming than other methods. In this first book on the topic the authors describe concisely all instrumental and methodological features, including calibration, influences from the matrix or sample inhomogeneities, optimisation, data analysis and measurement uncertainty. Special chapters deal with ET-AAS, slurry injection, ETV-ICP-AE/MS coupling. The authors' aim to deliver all their experience in a way that enables the spectroscopist to develop their own solid sampling based methods makes this book an unvaluable source for AAS- and AES-practitioners.
Direct analysis of solid materials via atomspectrometric methods is on its breakthrough to routine applications in industrial, environmental and food analysis. In this first book on the topic the authors describe concisely all instrumental and methodological features. The detailed information will enable the practitioners to develop their own stand-alone operating procedures.
Written by an experienced practitioner for practitioners; book gives insight into the methodological and instrumental details enabling the practitioners to develop their own methods; extended chapters on qualitiy control and measurement uncertainty according to ISO.
