A Multi-Mode Spectrometer for Atomic Emission Spectrometry

Educational Multiwavelength Atomic Emission Spectrometer

A simple multiwavelength emission instrument utilizing a commercial grating monochromator, a fiber optic sensor to collect radiation from an acetylene-air flame, and a CCD detector, has been evaluated for pedagogical value in the undergraduate curriculum. Simultaneous determination of Na, Li, K, Rb at ppb level, and Ca, Sr, Ba at ppm level was achieved. The instrument is affordable, yet suitabl...

Computer software for a simultaneous multi-element atomic-absorption spectrometer

Apphcatisn of an Oscillating - mirror Rapid - scanning Spectrometer to Simultaneous Multi - element Microwave Plasma Emission Spectrometry

The potential value of an oscillating-mirror rapid-scanning spectrometer as a detector for simultaneous multi-element emission spectrometry is demonstrated. A microwave argon plasma was used as the emission source with a carbon cup sampling device for analyte introduction. Analy tical graphs for bismuth, cadmium, manganese and magnesium prepared sirnulta neously are shown. The sensitivity of th...

A mathematical model for the multi-mode resource investment problem

This paper presents an exact model for the resource investment problem with generalized precedence relations in which the minimum or maximum time lags between a pair of activities may vary depending on the chosen modes. All resources considered are renewable. The objective is to determine a mode and a start time for each activity so that all constraints are obeyed and the resource investment co...

Tungsten coil devices in atomic spectrometry: absorption, fluorescence, and emission.

In this work, tungsten coil (W-Coil) devices are used as atomizers for electrothermal atomization atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS), electrothermal atomization laser excited atomic fluorescence spectrometry (ETA-LEAFS), and electrothermal vaporization inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ETV-ICP-AES). For most cases in ETAAS and ETA-LEAFS, limits of detection (LODs) usi...
