Atomic absorption spectroscopy is a quantitative analytical technique used to determine the concentration of metals and some nonmetals in solutions and samples. It works by vaporizing the sample into free atoms, then measuring the absorption of light from a hollow cathode lamp at a specific wavelength for the target element. The amount of light absorbed is directly proportional to the concentration of the element in the original sample. It can analyze over 62 elements with high sensitivity and reliability. Common applications include detecting metals in environmental and biological samples as well as determining impurities in alloys.
A technique to determine concentration of elements in the solution by aspirating this sample into flame. Evaporation, Atomization, Excitation ,Emission and Ionization occur in the flame.
An Infrared spectrum represents a fingerprint of a sample with absorption peaks which correspond to the frequencies of vibrations between the bonds of the atoms making up the material-Because each different material is a unique combination of atoms, no two compounds produce the exact same spectrum, therefore IR can result in a unique identification of every different kind of material!

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Introduction
• It is very reliable and simple to use
• It can analyze over 62 elements
• It also measures the concentration of metals in sample
Atomic absorption spectroscopy is a
quantitative method of analysis of any kind of
sample ; that is applicable to many metals and a
few nonmetals.

3. HISTORY
• The technique was introduced in 1955 by Alan Walsh in
Australia ( 1916 – 1998 ).
• The first commercial atomic absorption spectrometer
was introduced in 1959.
The application of atomic
absorption spectra to chemical
analysis

4. PRINCIPLE
• The technique uses basically the principle that free atoms
( gas ) generated in an atomizer can absorb radiation at
specific frequency.
• Atomic absorption spectroscopy quantifies the absorption of
ground state atoms in the gaseous state.
• The atoms absorb ultraviolet or visible light and make
transitions to high electronic energy levels. The analyte
concentration is determined from the amount of absorption. 4
5. • Concentration measurements are usually determined
from a working curve after calibrating the instrument
with standards of known concentration.
• Atomic absorption is very common technique for
detecting metals and metalloids in environmental
samples.

7. LIGHT SOURCE
• Hollow Cathode Lamp are the most common radiation
source in AAS.
• It contains a tungsten anode and a hollow cylindrical
cathode made of the element to be determined.
• These are sealed in a glass tube filled with an inert gas
(neon or argon ) .
• Each element has its own unique lamp which must be
used for that analysis . 7

Atomization
Atomization is separation of particles into individual
molecules and breaking molecules into atoms. This
is done by exposing the analyte to high
temperatures in a flame or graphite furnace .
Atomization

11. Flame Atomization
• Nebulizer suck up liquid samples at controlled rate.
• Create a fine aerosol spray for introduction into flame.
• Mix the aerosol and fuel and oxidant thoroughly
for introduction into flame.
• An aerosol is a colloid of fine solid particles or liquid
droplets, in air or another gas.
11
13. Disadvantages of Flame Atomization
• Only 5-15% of the nebulized sample reaches the flame.
• A minimum sample volume of 0.5-1.0 ml is needed to
give a reliable reading.
• Samples which are viscous require dilution with a solvent.
13
14. Electro Thermal Atomization
• Uses a graphite coated furnace to vaporize the sample.
• ln GFAAS sample, samples are deposited in a small
graphite coated tube which can then be heated to
vaporize and atomize the analyte.
• The graphite tubes are heated using a high current
power supply.
14
16. Advantagesof Graphite Furnace
Technique
• Small sample size
• Very little or no sample preparation is needed
• Sensitivity is enhanced
• Direct analysis of solid samples
16
17. Disadvantages of Graphite Furnace
Technique
• Analyte may be lost at the ashing stage
• The sample may not be completely atomized
• The precision is poor than flame method
• Analytical range is relatively low
17
18. MONOCHROMATOR
• This is a very important part in an AA spectrometer. It is
used to separate out all of the thousands of lines.
• A monochromator is used to select the specific
wavelength of light which is absorbed by the sample, and
to exclude other wavelengths.
• The selection of the specific light allows the
determination of the selected element in the presence of
others.

19. DIFFRACTION GRATING
19
the process by which a beam of light or other system of waves is spread out
as a result of passing through a narrow aperture or across an edge, typically
accompanied by interference between the wave forms produced
20. DETECTOR
• The light selected by the monochromator is directed
onto a detector that is typically a photomultiplier tube ,
whose function is to convert the light signal into an
electrical signal proportional to the light intensity.
• The processing of electrical signal is fulfilled by a signal
amplifier . The signal could be displayed for readout , or
further fed into a data station for printout by the
requested format.
20
22. Calibration Curve
• A calibration curve is used to determine the unknown
concentration of an element in a solution.
• The instrument is calibrated using several solutions of known
concentrations.
• The absorbance of each known solution is measured and then
a calibration curve of concentration vs absorbance is plotted.
• The sample solution is fed into the instrument, and the
absorbance of the element in this solution is measured.
• The unknown concentration of the element is then calculated
from the calibration curve 22
23. Applications
1) Presence of metals as an impurity or in alloys could be done
easily
2) Level of metals could be detected in tissue samples like
Aluminum in blood and Copper in brain tissues
3) Due to wear and tear there are different sorts of metals
which are given in the lubrication oils which could be
determined for the analysis of conditions of machines
4) Determination of elements in the agricultural and food
products
