Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy for fast elemental analysis and sorting of metallic scrap pieces using certified reference materials

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy application in environmental monitoring of water quality: a review

“…In 1990s, commercialization of LIBS for engineering applications became common, and the number of LIBS-based instrumentations grew rapidly. LIBS now has become an irreplaceable analysis method and has been used extensively in many fields including online monitoring of industrial process (Gurell et al 2012;Legnaioli et al 2012;Werheit et al 2011), archeological identification (Staicu et al 2012;Kasem et al 2011;Colao et al 2010), environmental monitoring (Ayyalasomayajula et al 2012;Dell'Aglio et al 2011;Awan et al 2013), geological exploration (Rakovsky et al 2012;Pace et al 2011;Lui and Koujelev 2011), national defense Moros et al 2012), and space exploration (McCanta et al 2013;Wiens et al 2013;Fabre et al 2011).…”

Trends in Spectroscopic Techniques for Process Control

“…Applied to pharmaceutical products, LIBS allows for rapid multicomponent analysis, depth profiling, and the assessment of product homogeneity [62]. It has been demonstrated that LIBS is also capable of fast and reliable on-line in situ detection of hazardous chemical and biological agents [63], sorting industrial and recycled materials [64,65], and classification of particulate systems [66]. The fingerprinting capability of LIBS improves when it is combined with Raman spectroscopy [67].…”

Increased identification rate of scrap metal using Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy Echelle spectra

“…Several applications of applying LIBS to sorting or generally speaking classification tasks have been reported in the literature already [3,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]. Due to the requirement of high sample throughput, detection speed is the limiting factor in most cases.…”
