Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Interference

1.5K
Interference leads to systematic error in atomic absorption (AA) measurements by enhancing or diminishing the analytical signal or the background. These interferences can be grouped into three main categories: spectral interference, chemical interference, and physical interference.
Spectral interference occurs when signals from other elements or molecules overlap with the analyte signal, falsely elevating or masking the analyte's absorbance. This interference can be corrected using Zeeman,...

For AAS measurements, samples must be introduced as clear solutions, often requiring extensive preliminary treatment to dissolve materials like soils, animal tissues, and minerals. Common methods for sample preparation include treatment with hot mineral acids, wet ashing, combustion in closed containers, high-temperature ashing, or fusion with reagents.
 Solutions containing organic solvents, such as low-molecular-mass alcohols, esters, or ketones, enhance absorbances by increasing...

Area of Science:

  • Spectroscopy
  • Materials Science
  • Data Analysis

Background:

  • X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) data analysis requires artifact removal (deglitching).
  • Glitches originate from monochromator crystals or sample crystallites.
  • Current deglitching methods are often manual, subjective, and inefficient for large datasets.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a statistically robust and automated algorithm for XAS data deglitching.
  • To provide a repeatable and selective method for glitch removal applicable to large data volumes.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a Python program for automated glitch detection and removal.
  • Utilizing a Savitzky-Golay filter for spectral smoothing.
  • Employing the generalized extreme Studentized deviate (GESD) test for outlier identification.

Main Results:

  • Successful automatic detection and removal of glitches in XAS spectra.
  • Demonstration of robust and repeatable glitch removal.
  • Algorithm's suitability for processing large XAS datasets.

Conclusions:

  • The developed algorithm offers an efficient and reliable solution for XAS data deglitching.
  • Automated processing enhances data quality and throughput in XAS analysis.
  • This method addresses limitations of existing manual and semi-automated approaches.
