Analysis and Separations of Trace Elements in the Environment

Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Topic will focus on the analyses and separations of trace elements in the environment. The main focus will be on using current analytical instrumentation that will include inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), inductively coupled plasma optical emission (ICP-OES), energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF), and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). Elemental speciation will also be discussed.
The Topic will demonstrate that the above analytical techniques can be used to analyze a variety of environmental samples that will include water, soil, tree rings, aerosols, and different types of plants. Sample preparation is an important step in the goals of successful characterization and quantification of trace elements in the environment.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
