Analysis of geological and environmental materials is the current
and growing requirement in the recent years. Laser-induced breakdown
spectroscopy (LIBS) is a spectroscopic technique based on atomic
emission and has been used as an analysis tool of minerals, rocks,
soils, sediments, etc. LIBS has the advantage of faster analysis
than other techniques with a typical detection limits of elements.
Applications of LIBS have been growing rapidly and continue to be
extended to a broad range of materials. The paper presents the
applications of LIBS exclusively for the analysis of environmental
materials. However, before discussing the reviews on LIBS
applications on environmental monitoring; a brief overview of the
fundamental of the LIBS analytical technique, double-pulse and
femtosecond LIBS methods, its instrumentation, sampling techniques
and analysis of minerals, rocks, soils, sediments, and other natural
materials are presented. LIBS technology is the increasing
requirement for the quality control in the environment due to the
various pollutants. The review focuses on the most relevant advances
and is reported in
different sections relative to the analyzed objects. |
