Composition

Measurement of the chemical composition of gases, liquids, and solids is important to determine the quality or purity of raw materials, intermediates or final products. These parameters are not just important in chemical industry, but also in greenhousefarming, enforcement of environmental law, monitoring immission and emission (e.g. deNOx processes).
In particular for analysis of liquids and gases a wide variety of analyzers is available. The chemical composition of solid materials can be analyzed by both the traditional semi quantitative X-ray fluorescence method, and the more accurate and more 'multi-component' Instrumental
Neutron Activation Analysis.
