Considering the cost and effectiveness, spectroscopic techniques have an increasing importance within the chemical industry. This review concentrates on the use of mass spectrometry with particular emphasis on technological advances, historical evolution, and applications in chemical processes and environmental chemistry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
