Features: Based on introducing fundamental theories, this book emphasizes practicality and operability, providing numerous examples to illustrate the analysis methods for metal ions and the speciation analysis of metal elements. It serves as a reference for faculty and students of colleges and universities, researchers in research institutions, enterprises, and especially personnel in environmental monitoring departments engaged in environmental analytical chemistry research and practical work.
This book systematically elaborates on several commonly used metal ion analysis techniques, including atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), fluorometric photometry, chemiluminescence analysis, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), and electrochemical analysis. The content covers various aspects of the entire process of metal ion analysis, such as sampling, sample separation, enrichment, sample preparation, selection of analytical conditions, the generation of interferences, the reduction or elimination of interferences, quality control, and data processing. The book particularly introduces the rapidly developing ICP-MS ultra-trace analysis technique, which meets the growing demand for metal ion analysis transitioning from microanalysis to trace and ultra-trace analysis.
With the increasing understanding of the effects of metal element pollution, research on pollutants is shifting from total determination to speciation analysis. As a result, the speciation analysis of metal elements has become increasingly important in environmental monitoring and environmental assessment. To address this need, the book systematically introduces several methods for metal element speciation analysis and their applications in environmental sample analysis.
