The chemical composition of a material is an important indicator of its properties, which can affect its physical, chemical, and engineering properties. Therefore, accurately measuring the chemical composition of materials is of great significance for material science and engineering research. This article will introduce several commonly used chemical composition detection methods, including atomic absorption spectrometry, fluorescence spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction.

Atomic absorption spectrometry

Atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) is a commonly used method for the detection of chemical components. This method utilizes the characteristic of atoms absorbing light at a specific wavelength to measure the content of elements in the sample. This method usually requires first converting the sample into a gaseous or liquid form, then emitting atoms through devices such as a flame or calcium carbide furnace, and finally using specific wavelengths of light for detection. AAS detection method has high sensitivity, accuracy, and reliability, so it is widely used in the detection of chemical composition of various materials such as metals and non-metals.

Fluorescence spectrometry

Fluorescence spectroscopy (FS) is a method for detecting chemical components based on the fluorescence signals emitted by sample molecules after excitation. This method is suitable for the detection of various compounds, including organic compounds, inorganic compounds, and metal ions. FS detection method can detect trace elements quickly and efficiently, with high sensitivity, and is widely used in food, environment, medicine, and other fields.

Infrared spectroscopy

Infrared spectroscopy (IR) is a chemical component detection method based on the molecular vibration state of samples. This method uses molecular vibration absorption spectroscopy to analyze the content of compounds in the sample. IR detection methods are widely used for component analysis of various materials, including organic compounds, inorganic compounds, polymers, and so on. This method has the characteristics of non-destructive, rapid, efficient, and can be detected without the need for separation and purification.

X-ray diffraction method

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a chemical composition detection method based on the crystal structure of samples. This method determines the chemical composition of the sample by measuring the X-ray diffraction pattern of the sample to determine information such as the type, structure, and lattice constant of the crystal in the sample. This method usually requires the sample to be powdered and then tested by an X-ray diffractometer. The XRD detection method is applicable to a variety of materials, including crystalline, amorphous, and amorphous materials, and can conduct in-depth analysis of the crystal structure of materials. Therefore, it is widely used in the field of material science research.

In addition to the four chemical component detection methods described above, there are other commonly used detection methods, such as mass spectrometry, electrochemical analysis, and so on. These testing methods have their own characteristics, and appropriate methods should be selected for testing based on specific needs.
