The process of observing a material to determine its elemental or isotopic composition is called elemental analysis (EA).
It falls within the scope of analytical chemistry, and is specific to the elements a researcher is looking for in a sample. For example, when it comes to organic chemistry, EA almost always refers to CHNS or CHNS/O analysis. That is, analysis of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur. In the case of “O”, the analysis includes oxygen.
The substance that is being observed, identified, and measured is referred to as an analyte. Both qualitative and quantitative methods are used in EA to determine the composition of a sample. It represents an important step in a variety of analytical workflows many laboratories use today.
Elemental analyzers refer to the devices that perform these analyses. They are designed to find elemental compositions of unknown substances by taking the material—whether it is organic or inorganic material—and converting it into simpler, known compounds. An example of this method of characterization is analyzing an organic compound for the presence of carbon and hydrogen. The unknown organic compound is altered through combustion and the resulting particles are examined and weighted to determine their composition by mass.
Though common, combustion is not the only method used to determine a material’s elemental makeup. Chemicals and radiation are two other methods that are well known in the quantitative and qualitative determination of an element. Elemental analyzers can be organized by which type of element is being analyzed or by how much of a specific element is in a substance. EA is used in a variety of application fields:
- Organic Chemistry & Pharmaceuticals: quality control (QC) analysis of chemicals, halogen-compounds, and more.
- Petrochemistry & Energy: characterization of refined fuels, biofuels, biomass fuel, gasoline, and more.
- Environmental: elemental content determination of compost, water, and particulate matter
- Material Characterization: quality assessment (QA) of polymers, rubbers, plastics, and more.
- Food Quality: analysis of protein content for compliance with labeling and other food/feed manufacturing requirements.
