Vapor Generation Techniques for Trace Element Analysis: Fundamental Aspects provides an overview and discussion of the fundamental aspects governing derivatization reactions of trace-level elements for analytical purposes. Vapor generation techniques coupled with atomic or mass spectrometry have been employed for over 50 years, but their popularity has dramatically increased in recent years, especially as alternative vapor generation approaches have been developed. This book bridges the knowledge gap of the derivatization mechanisms that yield volatile compounds and provides an update on recent developments in vapor generation techniques used for the determination and speciation of trace elements by atomic optical and mass spectrometry.

It will serve as a comprehensive, single-source overview of recent developments, providing readers with an understanding of the correct implementation—and limitations—of applying vapor generation techniques to everyday analytical problems facing the trace element analyst.

Alessandro D’Ulivo is a Senior Researcher at National Research Council of Italy, developing his research activity at the Institute of Chemistry of Organometallic Compounds, Pisa-Italy, since 1981. Teaching Analytical Chemistry at Pisa University since 1991. In 2013 he received the qualification of full professor in Analytical Chemistry. His research interests are in the field of trace element determination and speciation by atomic and mass spectrometry, fundamental aspects and applications of vapour generation techniques, atomizers and element specific detectors for chromatography. He is a member of Editorial Advisory Board of Spectrochimica Acta Part B, Atomic Spectroscopy (Elsevier) and a IUPAC Fellow. He received the Ioannes Marcus Marci Medal in 2018 and the Török Tibor Medal in 2020. Ralph Sturgeon’s technical interests lie in inorganic analytical chemistry, comprising trace element analysis, vapor generation, organometallic speciation and production of Certified Reference Materials with a focus on atomic and mass spectrometric detection. He has published some 330 peer reviewed articles, is past Editor for Spectrochimica Acta Reviews and currently serves on the advisory boards of several international analytical chemistry journals. For more than 20 years Sturgeon has interacted extensively with the international metrology community, serving on working groups affiliated with both ISO and the BIPM while actively participating in audits of National Metrology Institute laboratories throughout the world. His contributions to analytical atomic spectroscopy have been recognized through a number of awards, including most recently the 2019 CSI Award. He was peer ranked amongst the top 10 most influential analytical spectroscopists for 2017 by the Analytical Scientist.
