Atomic Absorption and Emission Spectroscopy (Analytical Chemistry by Open Learning)

An introduction to the basic theory and practice of atomic spectroscopy, emphasizing practical and instrumental aspects, while keeping mathematics and theoretical topics to a minimum. The first sections cover the basic principles. Succeeding chapters examine flame atomic spectroscopy, the most widely used technique in the field, showing how to use the technique and how to avoid some common problems associated with it. Later sections explain more specialized techniques of atomic absorption, the use of emission spectroscopy, and future trends in spectroscopy.
