Progress in Analytical Atomic Spectroscopy

Progress in Analytical Atomic Spectroscopy, Volume 7 is a collection of papers that covers the advances in analytical atomic spectroscopy. The book presents nine articles that cover areas such as methodologies and applications. The text first details the diagnostic opportunities of high voltage discharges, and then proceeds to presenting the practical applications of signal-to-noise treatment in analytical spectrometry. The next two chapters cover laser vaporization and ionization. Chapter 5 discusses the models in electrothermal atomization, while Chapter 6 tackles microwave induced plasma. The seventh chapter details equidensitometry. In the eighth chapter, the book talks about a study of sample volatilization in a graphite furnace by means of atomic and molecular absorption spectra. The last chapter covers the image sensor application in analytical spectrometry. The text will be of great use to chemists who aim to expand their knowledge in analytical spectrometry.

Volume 7 continues the tradition of previous volumes in this series by presenting cutting-edge and current advances in atomic spectroscopy. This volume focuses on the application of atomic spectroscopy particularly ICPMS, with an emphasis in the area of clinical and biological samples New techniques such as double focusing and field-flow fractionation ICP-MS are presented. Other areas such as laser induced breakdown spectrometry and new applications of graphite furnace AAS are included. A major theme of many of the chapters is speciation, which is the hottest topic in elemental determination at present. · Focuses on cutting-edge advances in atomic spectroscopy · Contributors are leaders in their fields · Can be used in conjunction with the other books in the series or as a stand-alone title
