ENVIRONMENT

Our lives are affected by a variety of factors in our environment, such as the quality of food, medicines, crops, atmospheric and radioactive
pollution, to name a few, all of which impact our survival.

The following analytical and instrumental techniques are used in Environmental Analysis, please click on the squares for further information.

Tags: organic matter, fluorescence

PARTICLE SIZE ANALYSIS
Model: SZ-100

Main application

Analysis of suspended particles in waste water treatment
Analysis and treatment of oil refinery waste water
Analysis of sediment particles

ICP-OES
Model: Ultima Expert

Main application

Rare earth elements analysis
Precious metals analysis
Alloy and mineral samples

Only trace Ga will affect the magnetism and microstructure of NdFeB products In rare earth elements
analysis: For rare earth elements, only high resolution ICPOES
can separate those spectral interferences.
Left image: resolution of <5 pm. Right image: If resolution
goes to about 10 pm, the Ga signal will be lost.
