Elemental Analysis Application of Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy assisted with Laser Induced fluorescence(LIBS-LIF) Technology in Environmental Monitoring
Abstract: The importance of environmental monitoring is becoming more and more significant under the background of increasingly prominent environmental problems. Among the environmental problems, soil problem and water quality problem is one of the very important topics. Element analysis is often used for soil monitoring and water quality monitoring. Although the traditional laboratory detection method has high accuracy and good accuracy, it takes a long time and the process is complex, so it is impossible to realize in-situ detection or remote rapid detection. Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) can effectively improve the above problems, but its accuracy is low and there is interference between adjacent characteristic lines. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy assisted with laser-induced fluorescence (LIBS-LIF) is a further enhancement and upgrade of LIBS technology to meet the detection needs. This paper first introduces the basic principles of LIBS technology and LIBS-LIF technology, then briefly introduces the application of LIBS-LIF technology in soil monitoring, and introduces the application origin and research progress of LIBS-LIF technology. Then it introduces the application of LIBS technology and LIBS-LIF technology in water quality monitoring. Because the way of pretreatment is the most important in liquid detection, the pretreatment methods of liquid testing samples are briefly summarized here. Finally, the application of LIBS-LIF technology in the environment is summarized and prospected. LIBS-LIF technology has incomparable advantages over traditional laboratory testing, and it is also in a hot research direction, with unlimited potential in the future.
LIBS技术常常与LIF技术联合使用,即LIBS-LIF技术。通过LIF技术对特征曲线信号的选择性加强作用,有效的提高了检测的准确率,改善了单独使用LIBS检测准确率低的缺陷。
