Innovative Elemental Analysis for Materials Science and Engineering

A circular economy is vital for climate protection and resource efficiency. This two-day workshop covers advanced elemental analysis techniques for sustainable materials and recycling, focusing on ICP-MS/-OES, AAS/MAS, and methods for solid samples and PFAS detection. Day one offers theory and method selection strategies, while day two provides hands-on lab practice with ICP-ETV, LA/ICP-MS, and HR-CS-GFMAS. It’s designed for professionals improving material quality and sustainability.

A circular economy is essential for climate protection and resource efficiency. Since 1970, global material use has tripled, and nearly half of CO₂ emissions are linked to resource extraction and processing. Developing sustainable materials and recycling strategies requires precise analytics to detect compositional deviations and trace pollutants, such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). This two-day workshop presents innovative elemental analysis techniques. The first day provides an overview of current methods, including Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry/-Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-MS/-OES), Atomic and Molecular Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS, MAS), X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF), Glow Discharge-Optical Emission Spectroscopy (GD-OES), and others. The focus then shifts to key methods relevant for solid sample and PFAS analysis, especially ICP-MS/-OES and AAS/MAS. The following methods will be discussed in more detail, but the concepts can be applied to similar ICP-MS/-OES and AAS/MAS methods: ICP-OES with Electrothermal Vaporization (ICP-ETV) and ICP-MS with Laser Ablation (LA/ICP-MS) for solid material analysis, and High resolution-continuum Source-Graphite Furnace Molecular Absorption Spectrometry (HR-CS-GFMAS) for contaminant analysis, such as PFAS. In addition to the theoretical foundations, the course will explore method selection strategies and practical use cases in materials science and engineering. Participants are encouraged to actively engage and share challenges from their own work. The second day is entirely dedicated to hands-on laboratory practice. Participants will work directly with ETV/ICP-OES, LA/ICP-MS, and HR-CS-GFMAS. This experience provides practical insights into the performance of these methods under real-world conditions. This experience will help them build confidence in selecting and applying these techniques to their own work. This course is designed for professionals and researchers in materials science, engineering, and environmental analysis who use advanced techniques to improve material quality, enable recycling, and develop safe, sustainable materials.

Hilfe

Die Suche / Erweiterte Suche im idw-Archiv
Verknüpfungen

Sie können Suchbegriffe mit und, oder und / oder nicht verknüpfen, z. B. Philo nicht logie.

Klammern

Verknüpfungen können Sie mit Klammern voneinander trennen, z. B. (Philo nicht logie) oder (Psycho und logie).

Wortgruppen

Zusammenhängende Worte werden als Wortgruppe gesucht, wenn Sie sie in Anführungsstriche setzen, z. B. „Bundesrepublik Deutschland“.

Auswahlkriterien

Die Erweiterte Suche können Sie auch nutzen, ohne Suchbegriffe einzugeben. Sie orientiert sich dann an den Kriterien, die Sie ausgewählt haben (z. B. nach dem Land oder dem Sachgebiet).

Haben Sie in einer Kategorie kein Kriterium ausgewählt, wird die gesamte Kategorie durchsucht (z.B. alle Sachgebiete oder alle Länder).
