For example, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry may provide rapid but rather imprecise quantitative results in a trace element problem. Atomic absorption spectrophotometry, on the other hand, will supply more precise data, but at the expense of more time-consuming chemical manipulations. 

Many alternative techniques, both qualitative and quantitative, have been investigated either for screening purposes or as primary methods. Such techniques include atomic absorption spectrophotometry, molecular luminescence, electron spin resonance spectrometry, X-ray analysis methods, and electro analytical methods. Flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry (FAAS) is the technique that has almost completely replaced NAA. 

Khalil et al. [51] described the microquantitative determination of mefenamic acid based on the reaction of mefenamic acid with a silver nitrate solution in a neutral alcoholic medium. The formed precipitation is quantitatively determined directly or indirectly through the silver content of the precipitation formed or the residual unreacted silver ions in the filtrate by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The results obtained in both the procedures either in their pure form or in their pharmaceutical formulations are accurate and precise. The stoichiometric relationship of the reaction was studied using lob s continuous variation method, and it was found to be (1 1) drug Ag+ for the mefenamic acid. 

Haartz, Bolyard and Abell ( 3.) used atomic absorption spectrophotometry to check filter standards prepared by the suspension technique Zinc oxide was "spiked" on DM-800 filters and quantitated by AAS and XRD Results from these measurements are shown in Table II, An average deviation of 2 1% was found between the two techniques. Although this data does give a considerable degree of confidence to the use of the suspension procedure for standards preparation, additional data for other analytes is needed for conclusive proof. 

The selection of the method of analysis is a vital step in the solution of an analytical problem. A choice cannot be made until the overall problem is defined, and where possible a decision should be taken by the client and the analyst in consultation. Inevitably, in the method selected, a compromise has to be reached between the sensitivity, precision and accuracy desired of the results and the costs involved. For example. X-ray fluorescence spectrometry may provide rapid but rather imprecise quantitative results in a trace element problem. Atomic absorption spectrophotometry, on the other hand, will supply more precise data, but at the expense of more time consuming chemical manipulations. 

Table 1 shows the detection limits of atomic absorption spectrophotometry for various metals. In general, flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry is quantitative in the lower parts-per-million levels and is readily automated for routine, high-volume samples. The other three techniques are used primarily for trace analysis and are quantitative to the lower parts-per-million levels for many elements. 

After transport to a laboratory, gases are introduced into an analytical instrument for quantitative determination of the constituents of interest. Soil air in a container is introduced directly to the instmment, whilst adsorbed gas is released by thermal of chemical desorption. The instrumental methods most widely used for gas analyses include gas chromatography, mass spectrometry and atomic absorption spectrophotometry. For quantifying the radiation scars on film, image analysis methods are employed. 

You will need to consider how both oxidation states of iron can be quantitatively determined using the complexation with 1,10-phenanthroline method only. For a given volume of groundwater, the amount of Fe(III) and the amount of Fe(II) should approximate the amount of total Fe found independently by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry (FIAA). 

In each of the separation experiments mentioned above, the metal ion that was retained on the column was stripped off the column in a concentrated form by an aqueous EDTA solution. The desired ion can then be recovered. This process can also be used to determine trace amounts of various cations in an aqueous solution. A large volume (i.e. 1 L) of water containing ppb levels of Hg " and Pb and also containing several hundred ppm of Ca ", Mg, Na", and as the nitrate alts was rapidly passed through 2-4 g of gel 3, 4, or 5. The metal ions formed complexes with the diazacrown and were removed quantitatively from solution. A much smaller amount of either 1 M aqueous HCl or EDTA was used to remove the metal ions from the column. Hence, a more concentrated solution of Hg " " and Pb was obtained and the solution was easily analyzed for Hg " and Pb " content by flame or inductively coupled plasma atomic absorption spectrophotometry. 

The range of off-line instruments available for water analysis Is wide. In fact, any analyser with optical or electrochemical detection can be adapted for this purpose. The use of liquid chromatography for the detection and quantitation of detergents or non-volatile organic compounds, of atomic absorption spectrometry for the analysis for heavy metal traces and of UV spectrophotometry for the determination of phosphates, nitrates and nitrites are representative examples of the potential utilization of conventional analysers for water analysis.

The absorption of electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths between 200 and 800 nm by molecules which have n electrons or atoms possessing unshared electron pairs can be employed for both qualitative and quantitative analysis as such, it is known as spectrophotometry. As a wide variety of pharmaceutical substances absorb radiation in the near-ultraviolet (200-380 nm) and visible (380-800 nm) regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, the technique is widely employed in pharmaceutical analysis.
