Analysis of Metals in Solid Waste

Methods for the analysis of metals by Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) are found in the 6000 series, and atomic absorption (AA) methods are found in the 7000 series. For high throughput, and determination of many analytes per sample the ICP methods are preferred. AA methods are useful for specific analytes that require special sample preparation, such as arsenic or selenium by gaseous hydride or mercury by cold vapor. For rapid screening of soil samples, energy dispersive XRF may be used.
