Elemental analysis explained

Elemental analysis

Elemental analysis Elemental analysis is a process where a sample of some material (e.g., soil, waste or drinking water, bodily fluids, minerals , chemical compound s) is analyzed for its elemental and sometimes isotopic composition. Elemental analysis can be qualitative (determining what elements ...
