Trace Elemental Analysis of Metals: Methods and Techniques

This work details minor, trace and ultratrace methods; addresses the essential stages that precede measurement; and highlights the measurement systems most likey to be used by the pragmatic analyst. It features key material on inclusion and phase isolation. The book is designed to provide useful maps and signposts for metals analysts who must verify that stringent trace level compositional specifications have been met. molten salt fusion, tramp levels, atomize cycle, test portion size, trace realm, ground state analyte atoms, solid test samples, zirconium crucible, constitution heterogeneity, internal standard line, electronic nickel, mercury cathode electrolysis, absorption resonance line, char cycle, potassium pyrosulfate, hydroxide fusions, sodium peroxide fusions, infinite absorbance, ionization suppressors, flow injection approach, porosity filter paper, tramp elements, salt fusions, molecular absorption spectrophotometry, dissolution approach
