A crucial prerequisite for recycling forming an integral part of municipal solid waste (MSW)
management is sorting of useful materials from source-separated MSW. Researchers have …

The “super stars” of analytical atomic spectrometry are electrothermal atomization-atomic
absorption spectrometry (ETA-AAS), inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission …

This review describes the fundamentals, instrumentation, applications and future trends of
an analytical technique that is in its early stages of consolidation and is establishing its …

There has been a significant rise in municipal solid waste (MSW) generation in the last few
decades due to rapid urbanization and industrialization. Due to the lack of source …

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has been applied mainly to bulk analysis of
solids, liquids, and gases and less frequently for elemental microanalysis of solid surfaces. A …

Materials analysis and characterization can provide important information as evidence in

The focus of this study is to compare contact and noncontact human scent collection
procedures across an array of textiles (cotton, rayon, polyester, and wool) to determine an …

Nanosecond and femtosecond laser pulses were combined in an orthogonal preablation
spark dual-pulse laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) configuration. Even without …

Degradation of steel is a significant issue in the field of material aging, with the mechanical
properties of steel degrading during service, affecting the safety of equipment. In this work …

In this work, the potential of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for discrimination
and analysis of geological materials was examined. The research was focused on …
