MIO Seminar - Gustavo Nicolodelli, Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil - May 22, 2024
Gustavo Nicolodelli, Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil, will give a seminar on May 22, 2024 at 2:00 pm - Room R235, on .the following topic: Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) technique in environmental system monitoring.
Abstract : The progress achieved in the last few years in the use of the Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) technique in environmental system monitoring will be presented. In the first part of this course, a description of LIBS equipment, LIBS basic physical principles and supporting advanced calibration methods and chemometric approaches to LIBS analysis are provided. In the second part, the most recent applications of LIBS to the analysis of relevant solid, liquid, and gaseous environmental systems and their contaminants, including soil, rocks, sands, sediments, electronic wastes, waters, landfill leachates, lubricating oils, and aerosols, are presented. The potential and versatility of LIBS as a promising analytical tool in environmental science for in situ applications with minimal or no sample pretreatment are highlighted. The course ends with a mangrove study and future collaboration perspectives..
