Discrete particle detection and metal emissions monitoring using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy

TL;DR: In this paper, the utilization of LIBS is considered in part as a statistical sampling problem involving the finite laser-induced plasma volume, as well as the concentration and size distribution of the target metal species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy at high temperatures in industrial boilers and furnaces

TL;DR: LIBS was applied near the superheater of an electric power generation boiler burning biomass, coal, or both; at the exit of a glass-melting furnace burning natural gas and oxygen; and near the nose arches of two paper mill recovery boilers burning black liquor.

Spectroscopic Characterization of Laser-Produced Plasmas for In Situ Toxic Metal Monitoring

TL;DR: In this article, the suitability of laser spark spectroscopy as a real-time, in situ continuous monitor for toxic metals was examined and it was shown that the laser-produced spark is remarkably insensitive to ambient conditions such as variations in the background gas, the presence of particles, humidity, and laser power.
