Atomic spectrometry update. Industrial analysis: metals, chemicals and advanced materials
Abstract
This
The general structure of the review is the same as last year, but there has been an attempt to reduce the size of the tables and to be more descriptive and critical in the text instead.
The use of techniques capable of analysing solid materials directly has increased greatly for the analysis of metals during this review period. Therefore, techniques such as
The determination of S and Hg in petroleum products and in coals, respectively, has proved to be the most popular area of interest in these materials in this review period. Similarly, there have been a large number of applications that have used funtionalised resins to either pre-concentrate analytes or to separate the matrix during the analysis of samples.
There has been a noticeable increase in the number of papers reporting the use of multi-collector
The solid sampling theme is also prevalent in the analysis of advanced materials. Here, techniques such as
