Moore G.L. Introduction to Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry

Elsevier Science Publishers B.V., 1989, 340 pages, ISBN: 0-444-43029-6Analytical Spectroscopy Library — Volume 3This book was written to meet a need for an introductory text dealing in a relatively elementary way with the practice of atomic emission spectroscopy (AES). It is aimed at universities, technical colleges, and analytical laboratories - indeed, wherever there is an interest in the practice of AES.
It presents basic theory, and provides an extensive introduction to the growing amount of information presented in research journals in recent years. More than sufficient references are given to lead the interested reader deeper into any particular topic.The story of atomic emission spectroscopy is an interesting one. From 1925, photographic atomic emission spectroscopy (spectrography) was accepted as a quantitative multi-element analytical technique. In the 1960s, AES declined as atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) took hold, but there was a resurgence of interest in emission spectroscopy in the 1970s with the advent of modern excitation sources, such as the inductively coupled plasma (ICP), and the parallel development of improved electronic detection methods and microprocessor technology.Today, atomic emission spectroscopy is a well-established analytical technique of widespread application - a technique that no-one involved or interested in chemical analysis can afford to ignore.Principles and History of Atomic Emission Spectroscopy
