Visual Lines for Spectrum Analysis
Excerpt from Visual Lines for Spectrum Analysis
The value of the spectrometer in analysis seems to be somewhat underestimated, in spite of the ease and rapidity with which metals can be identified when present either as constituents of, or minute impurities in, a great variety of substances. This may be due to the fact that suitable tables of wavelengths of the most sensitive lines (i.e. The lines which appear in the spectrum when only small quantities of a metal are present) are not available in convenient form. This booklet is designed to supply such tables and to give such information as will enable the use of the Wavelength Spectrometer to be adopted in the routine of chemical laboratory practice. The technique, advocated and practised by Sir Herbert Jackson, is described in detail, and the sensitive lines of 52 elements have been investigated. Various applications of the method of analysis are described, and many variants of these would suggest themselves to anyone using this method. Criticism of the results put forward, and further suggestions will be welcomed. It is hoped that the usefulness of this booklet will be increased by the correction, in the next edition, of any errors of omission or commission which may be pointed out. The author gratefully acknowledges the facilities and experience placed at his disposal by Sir Herbert Jackson, f.r.s. (director of The British Scientific Instrument Research Association) and F. Twyman, Esq., f.r.s. (managing Director, Adam Hilger Ltd.)
