elemental analysis

What Techniques are Used for Elemental Analysis?

Various techniques are employed for elemental analysis in catalysis:
X-ray Fluorescence (XRF): This non-destructive technique is used to determine the elemental composition by measuring the characteristic X-rays emitted from a material.
Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS): Highly sensitive, ICP-MS can detect trace elements and is widely used for quantitative analysis.
Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS): Often coupled with electron microscopy, EDS provides qualitative and semi-quantitative information about the elements present.
Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS): This technique measures the concentration of elements by absorbing optical radiation.
