Syllabus
Atomic spectrometry and mass spectrometry for trace and ultra trace element analysis. Fundamental aspects: spectrometric techniques for trace element analysis: atomic absorption (AAS), atomic emission (OES), atomic fluorescence (AFS), mas spectrometry (ICP-MS e GC-MS), atomizers, sample introduction techniques, vapor generation techniques.
Sample preparation. Mineralization by wet and dry sample treatment, at atmospheric pressure and in pressurized vessel.
Applications of CVG-AAS, CVG-AFS, CVG-ICPMS e CVG-GCMS to analysis in different field: environmental, biomedical, toxicological and materials. Validation of analytical methods. Certified reference materials.
