Microwave assisted sample preparation for trace element determination Microwave Assisted Sample Preparation for Trace Element Analysis describes the principles equipment and applications involved in sample preparation with microwaves for trace element analysis. The book covers well established applications as well as new trends in this field. Hot topics such as sample preparation for speciation metabolomics and halogen determination as well as the alternatives of sample preparation for special samples (for example carbon nanotubes polymers petroleum products) are also discussed. The use of microwaves in sample preparation has increased in recent dec
