Atomic spectrometry update: review of advances in the analysis of metals, chemicals and functional materials

Abstract

This review covers advances in the analysis of advanced materials, metals, fuels and lubricants, nanostructures, ceramics, refractories, organic and inorganic chemicals, catalysts and nuclear materials by a range of techniques including X-ray, ICP, LIBS, mass spectrometry, synchrotron-based techniques, plus non-destructive and ablation surface techniques.

A Perspective on the Impact of Process Systems Engineering on Reaction Engineering

“…235 Analytical chemistry is one of the most common areas that benefits from the use of chemometric tools. This encompasses a variety of specialized disciplines like materials science, 236 pharmaceuticals, 203 food chemistry, 237 environmental chemistry, 238 biochemistry, 239 and geochemistry. 191 For example, in environmental science, it can used for tracking of impurities and pollutants in water and air.…”

Spectrofluorimetric determination of magnesium ions in water, ampoule, and suspension samples using a fluorescent azothiazol‐benzenesulfonamide derivative

“…The quantitative detection of magnesium ions is an important need that requires quick, sensitive, selective, and reliable methodologies. Several methodologies have been published for magnesium detection in different environmental samples, these includes X-ray atomic spectrometric methods, [5] electrochemical methodologies, [6] atomic absorption spectroscopic methods, [7] flame atomic absorption spectrometric methods, [8] ion-selective electrode methods, [9] derivative spectrophotometric methods, [10] high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), [11] nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), [12] colorimetric methods, [13] graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometric methods [14] and fluorescence methods. [15] In addition a few methodologies have been published for the determination of magnesium in different pharmaceutical samples, for example electrochemical methodologies, [16] atomic absorption spectroscopic methods, [17,18] flame atomic absorption spectrometric methods, [19,20] ion-selective electrode methods, [21] derivative spectrophotometric methods, [10] HPLC, [22] and colorimetric methods.…”

Profiling metals in Cordyceps sinensis by using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry

“…However, to our knowledge, no study has been done on profiling trace metals in C. sinensis . Analytical methods based on various techniques such as stripping voltammetry, flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS), graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF-AAS), inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) have been developed for determination of metals at trace levels[23]. Compared with other analytical techniques used for metal analysis, ICP-MS is the most versatile technique for metal analysis and provides part-per-trillion detection limits.…”
