Flame Emission Spectrometry

In flame Emission Spectrometry, the combustion flame not only frees the atoms but it also supplies the energy necessary to move the electrons of the free atoms from ground state to excited state.  The energy which is emitted by the excited atoms when returning to the ground state provides the basis for analytical determination in Flame Emission Spectrometry. Applications of Atomic Emission Spectrometry: 1. Food Industry: for detection of calcium and iron in beer . 2. Biological/Medical Applications: For determination of Na, K, Ca and Mg in body fluids and other biological samples. 3. For determination of Alkali and Alkaline Earth Metals in plant Materials, Chemicals, Cements, Oceanography and Ceramic Materials.

Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

  Atomic Absorption Spectrometry is an absorption spectroscopic technique in which radiation of a particular frequency from a source is absorbed by non-excited neutral gaseous atoms  generated in an atomizer in their ground state. The light is absorbed in the UV-visible region and makes transitions to higher electronic energy levels. The amount  of light absorbed is quantified and this amount of absorption helps in determining the analyte concentration. (It follows Beer's Law) The concentration is measured by drawing a calibration curve  after calibrating instrument with a  standard of known concentration. Factors affecting  the amount of light absorbed Length of path transversed Concentration of absorbing atoms in the vapour state. The diagrammatic representation of Atomic Absorption Spectrometer are shown in the below diagram:  Components Used in Atomic Absorbance Spectrometer: 1. Hollow Cathode Lamp: Acts as source of radiation  It is a sha...

Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOE)

  The effect which changes the intensity of one spin system (either same or different kind of nuclei like H or C) when the transition of another spin system (another nuclei like H) is perturbed from equilibrium population (via saturation or relaxation processes) by irradiating with a second tunable radiofrequency pulse applied at the precessional frequency of latter nuclei. The NOE effect will be homonuclear when both the nuclei are same (like H and H) and will be heteronuclear when both the nuclei will be different (like C and H). It may be positive as well as negative and its magnitude depends on the gyromagnetic ratios of the nuclei involved in dipolar coupling. It will be positive when the gyromagnetic values of both the nuclei are positive and is given by below equation:   NOE max  = ½ (γ irr /γ obs ) While the total intensity = 1 + NOE max The nuclei which are irradiated with the second radiofrequency is represented as S and its gyromagnetic ratio as γ irr . While t...
