New approaches of slurry sampling as an alternative technique of sample preparing for elemental analysis

Atomic spectrometry update: review of advances in atomic spectrometry and related techniques

“…Harrison et al 148 examined the Ca isotope fractionation between calcite-uid and aragonite-uid. The experiments used uids enriched in 43 Ca, which were equilibrated with synthetic calcite and aragonite for around 5 months. Results indicated that calcite did not increase in size during the experimental period, whereas the aragonite developed crystalline needles.…”

“…A review of the application of slurry sampling to elemental analysis included the fundamental processes, advantages, limitations and new trends in this established methodology. 43 Newer applications of slurry sampling, such as dispersive SPE with the direct introduction of the adsorbent into the equipment, coupling to flow injection analysis, the use of slurries in TXRF, and gas phase MAS and the performance of speciation analysis, were also discussed.…”

Green direct ultrasonic slurry sampling and electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry method for metal analysis of solid plastics samples

“…21 The SS technique is “greener” than solid sample decomposition techniques because it affords several advantages, such as reducing analysis time, reducing or eliminating sample treatment steps, reducing the volume of solvents used, improving the accuracy and sensitivity of detection, or even reducing and eliminating potential sample contamination in the course of the sample treatment. 22,23…”
