Brennan is an analytical scientist from Ireland with some 30 years of experience in atomic spectroscopy; he is currently with a firm in Ireland specializing in the manufacture of adhesives and other organic compounds. In this text, Brennan examines the practical approach of quantitative metal analysis using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), a powerful state-of-the-art technique used for metal analysis of all kinds of samples but requiring highly skilled operators. Following a general overview, coverage includes instrumentation associated with atomic spectroscopy; quantitative metal analysis of organic matrices; analysis of plastics, fibers, and textiles for metals content; metal analysis of virgin and crude petroleum products; metal analysis of structural adhesives; and hyphenated and miscellaneous techniques used with ICP-OES. For academic, industrial, and research departments, as well as graduates and researchers seeking new ideas for further research.
