6th Nordic Conference
on
Plasma Spectrochemistry
June 10-13, 2012, Loen, Norway
The Analytical Section of the Norwegian Chemical Society invites
scientists and users of science to this Fifth Nordic Conference on Plasma
Spectrochemistry. We sincerely hope that you will respond positively to
this invitation and call for papers. Please inform your colleagues about this opportunity to share and discuss their recent experiences and to be
scientifically updated through a number of short courses given by
international leading specialists in typical Norwegian informal
surroundings. We look forward to your attendance at and participation in
this scientific event.
Objectives
and Main Topics
By contrast to other plasma spectrochemistry meetings, the *FREE short
courses* basic as well as advanced (2 hours duration) will be offered to all participants during the
four day meeting which may be very attractive to participants to learn
about and to be updated on plasma spectrochemistry. We are planning to
organise 14 short courses, two or three in parallel each day, as part
of the conference. This consept is ment to stimulate Nordic users of
plasma based techniques to learn more about theoretical and practical
issues as well as obtain specialists recommendations for methods
improvements. Thus these short courses are also a unique opportunity for
laboratory engineers to be updated.
The aim of the conference is to
provide a forum to encourage the exchange of ideas and knowledge about
recent developments and state-of-the-art knowledge in main areas of
analytical plasma
spectrochemistry. The conference will bring together international
participants experienced in fundamental aspects, instrumentation and
applications in typical Norwegian informal settings to examine recent
progress in this continuing growing field; approximately 120 participants
are expected to attend.
Fundamental aspects and instrumental developments of:
- plasma sources (ICP, DCP, MIP, GD)
- plasma source atomic emission and
mass spectrometry
- laser-assisted plasma spectrometry
- plasma source detectors in
speciation analysis
- sample preparation, sample
introduction and transport phenomena
- uncertainties of measurements
Applications of plasma spectrochemistry in the analysis
of:
- industrial
products
- environmental and occupational
pollutants
- food and agriculture products
- aquatic
systems
- terrestrial/geological materials
- biological/clinical materials
- reference
materials
- radioactive and stable element
species
