Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry was created in 1986.
Atomic absorption spectrometry is more sensitive than atomic emission spectrometry.
Examples: emission spectrometry, flame photometry, atomic absorption, etc.
Atomic emission spectrometry is limited to alkali metals.
Atomic absorption spectrometry is used for the determination of metal residues remaining from pharmaceutical manufacturing.
advantages of atomic emission
ICP-MS allows multi-element analysis. It has a longer linear working range so fewer standards for calibration is needed as they can be spaced further apart. ICP-MS also has a higher sensitivity compared to atomic emission spectrometry or atomic absorption spectrometry.
Atomic emission spectrometry is a selective method for quantifying some types of metals. It is also cheap and robust. However, atomic emission spectrometry is only applicable to the determination of alkali metals and some alkaline earth metals.
The identification is possible using analytical chemistry techniques: atomic absorption spectrometry, ion selective electrodes, gravimetry, potentiometric titration, spectrophotometry and many other.
Atomic absorption spectrometry can only be used for metallic elements. Each element needs a different hollow cathode lamp for its determination.
Atomic mass is determined by mass spectrometry.
George Zachariadis has written: 'Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry' -- subject(s): Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry
The atomic mass of isotopes is determined by mass spectrometry.
