Overview
Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) is a well-established elemental analysis technology. It remains one of the most popular and cost-effectiveanalysis tools used by chemists, physicists, and materials scientists worldwide. This second edition offers a concise introduction to AAS concepts, essentialmethodologies, and important applications. It has been comprehensivelyupdated for the latest advances in AAS techniques and instruments. Highlights include: • Overviews of all basic atomic absorption concepts, including atomicline spectra theory, common sampling techniques, radiation sources,spectrometers, and detectors; • Coverage of hydride generation, cold vapor generation andelectrothermal generation, as well as flow injection analysis (FIA) toenhance AAS analytical performance; • New sections on troubleshooting and quality control guidelines,chemometrics, and emerging fields of applications, including analysisof nanoparticles; and • Selected examples of standards for chemical analysis.
