How is Elemental Composition Determined?


Elemental composition is determined using various analytical techniques, including:
X-ray Fluorescence (XRF): This technique is used to identify and quantify elements in a sample by measuring the characteristic X-rays emitted from the material.
Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS): It allows for the detection of trace elements in a sample with high sensitivity and precision.
Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS): Commonly used for detecting metals, AAS measures the absorption of light by free atoms in a gaseous state.
