Description
Book SynopsisIsotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry of Light Gas-Forming Elements explores different methods of isotope analysis, including spark, secondary ion, laser, glow discharge, and isotope ratio mass spectrometry. It explains how to evaluate the isotopic composition of light elements (H, C, N, O) in solid, liquid, and gaseous samples of organic and inorganic substances, as well as:
- Presents a universal, economical, simple, and rapid technique for sample preparation of organic substances to measure the isotopic composition of carbon
- Describes how to determine microbial mineralization of organic matter in soil and the effect of exogenous substrates on environmental sustainability
- Examines use of the isotopic composition of n-alkanes from continental vegetation to study the paleoclimate and plant physiology
- Proposes a systematic approach to identifying tobacco areas of origin and tobacco products based on data from the isotopic composition
