Elemental Analysis

The process in which a sample is analyzed for its elemental and sometimes isotopic composition is called elemental analysis. Like many other analytical techniques, elemental analysis can be qualitative (determining the elements present) and can be quantitative (determining the amount of each element present, i.e. determining the percentage of atoms or the mass percentage of each element present). Analysis offers various instruments for elementary analysis: inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometers (ICP-MS) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometers (ICP-OES), optical emission spectrometers (OES), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), diffraction XRD), X - ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), elemental analyzers for the analysis of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen (CHNS / O). These instruments are used in analytical laboratories in various fields such as food, metallurgy, mining, geology and geochemistry, petroleum, polymers, glass and ceramics, semiconductors, paints and chemicals, forensic research and the environment.
