Atomic spectrometry update. Industrial analysis: metals, chemicals and advanced materials

Atomic spectrometry update. Atomic mass spectrometry

“…Applications of atomic MS are not covered in this Update and readers are referred to the Updates on Industrial Analysis: Metals, Chemicals and Advanced Materials, 3 Environmental Analysis 4 and Clinical and Biological Materials, Food and Beverages. 5 Throughout this review, the term molecular ion will be restricted to denote only the positive or negative radical ion formed by removal or capture, respectively, of an electron.…”

Atomic spectrometry update. Advances in atomic emission, absorption and fluorescence spectrometry, and related techniques

“…The sorption of three analytes, Cr VI , As III and Tl I , from water samples onto a calix [4]arene based polymer supported chelating resin 8 was described by Jain and co-workers. 74 Detection limits of 5.83, 8.48 and 5.56 mg l À1 (ETAAS) were obtainable for Cr VI , As III and Tl I , respectively.…”

“…It should be read in conjunction with the previous year's review 1 and with other related reviews in the series. [2][3][4][5][6] There is still considerable published work in the area of sample introduction, mostly concerning sample pre-concentration and/ or matrix removal. Despite the maturity of most of the techniques in this review the sample matrix clearly still presents a problem, with every sample being different.…”

Atomic spectrometry update—X-ray fluorescence spectrometry

“…Several papers on this subject were recently published in the companion ASU review on Industrial Analysis: Metals, Chemicals and Advanced Materials. 321 An overview of the recent developments in analytical techniques for the determination of trace element impurities in ultra-pure materials was given by Balaram. 322 The synthesis or modification of nano-materials, in the course of which XRF was used as a characterisation tool, was presented in several publications.…”

“…Additional information on catalysts may be found in the companion ASU review mentioned above. 321 Industrial processes and materials are often subjected to wear and corrosion. To provide insights into the cause of these failures, XRF was frequently used as an analytical tool.…”
