Description
Summary:Arc/spark optical emission spectrometry (OES) is reviewed in terms of principles, instrumentation, and recent applications. The emphasis is on the new analytical applications of arc/spark OES in real sample analysis. Various samples have been analyzed by this technique in recent years, such as steel, metal, alloy, geological, environmental, and biological samples. Arc/spark OES is especially suitable for the direct analysis of solid samples, but it can also be used for the analysis of liquid samples and gas samples. Techniques based on arc/spark OES have also found their unique applications in spectral studies and diagnosis in plasma chemistry.
