Abstract
This paper reports on the simultaneous detection of Mg, Mn, Fe and Pb in Al samples using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy and optical m ultichannel analysis of the photoablated microplasma. Using calibrated samples, well characterized linear working curves were determined for these minor components over the 0.01-1% concentration range. In addit ion optimum experimental conditions were found that allow the analysis to be carried out in a fast and non-invasive manner. The potential ap plication of the method to on-line industrial analysis is also suggest ed.
