Study Notes
Atomic Spectroscopy: Principles, Advantages, and Disadvantages
- Atomic spectroscopy was developed by Alan Walsh in the early 1950s.
- Advantages of atomic spectroscopy include high sensitivity, high selectivity, high throughput, and good precision.
- Atomic spectroscopy has three forms: absorption, emission, and fluorescence.
- In atomic absorption, a liquid sample is atomized in a flame, and a detector measures the amount of light that passes through the flame.
- The concentration of an absorbing species in a sample can be measured using the Beer-Lambert Law or a working curve after calibrating the instrument with standards of known concentration.
- Atomic fluorescence involves irradiating atoms in a flame with a laser to promote them to an excited electronic state and then measuring the fluorescence emitted when they return to the ground state.
- Atomic emission is widely used and involves using a plasma to promote some atoms to excited electronic states, from which they emit photons to return to lower energy states.
- In atomic spectroscopy, analyte is atomized in a flame, an electrically heated furnace, or a plasma.
- Most flame spectrometers use a premix burner, and the most common fuel-oxidizer combination is acetylene and air.
- Graphite furnaces are more sensitive than flames and require less sample, and they are heated in three or more steps to properly atomize the sample.
- Direct solid sampling involves analyzing a solid without sample preparation, and matrix modifiers can be added to reduce the loss of analyte during charring.
- Atomic spectroscopy is widely used for elemental analysis in various fields, including environmental monitoring, clinical diagnosis, and material science.
