Direct Quantitative Analysis of Particulate Aluminum Suspended in Water Using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has been developed as a rapid and easy in situ technique for the analysis of inorganic elements. Qualitative and quantitative determinations of an inorganic element can be achieved by analyzing the wavelength and intensity of the light emitted from the excited atoms arising from breakdown phenomena. Because the energy threshold of breakdown phenomena increases in the order of solid
