Studies in Analytical Chemistry, Volume 4: Guide-Lines to Planning Atomic Spectrometric Analysis covers the physico-chemical background of atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) and atomic emission spectrometry (AES). This book is composed of six chapters and begins with an introduction to the criteria on choosing the best and most suitable method for solving a given analytical problem. The next chapters deal with the properties, generation, and absorption of electromagnetic radiation, as well as the theory of atomic spectra that require knowledge of X-ray. Other chapters discuss the broadening of atomic lines, which is important for understanding that calibration curves in AAS are always bent. A chapter examines the sensitivity of determination by AAS and AES. The last chapter describes the spectrometric measurement of atomic absorption and emission. This chapter also looks into the influence of the design of the monochromator upon the measured emission intensity and calibration curve by AAS. This book will prove useful to analytical chemists and researchers.
