Industrial wastewater streams, which are a by-product of metal processing, mining, chemical manufacturing, and surface finishing, often contain complex matrices and challenging elemental compositions. Reliable monitoring of metals and key contaminants is essential for environmental compliance, permit requirements, and internal process control. In this web seminar, we provide an expert-level overview of how Atomic Absorption Spectrometry and Optical Emission Spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma (ICP-OES) address the analytical challenges of industrial effluents. 

In this web seminar, we will be discussing the development of methods, and we will be providing guidance on how to choose the most suitable instrumentation for AAS and ICP-OES. We will also be highlighting strategies for identifying and compensating for interferences. Participants will learn how Analytik Jena solutions – PlasmaQuant 9200, contrAA 800 and, novAA 800 – deliver superior sensitivity, stability, and cost efficiency. The application examples include synergies for sample types beyond wastewater analysis, such as process samples from the petrochemical, mining, metals, and electroplating industries.

Key learning objectives:
After the web seminar, you will have a clear understanding of the following aspects:

  • Complexity of industrial wastewater matrices
  • Need for reliable metal & contaminant monitoring
  • AAS vs. ICP‑OES: choosing the right technique
  • Strategies to manage analytical interferences
  • Performance advantages of Analytik Jena instrumentation

Who should attend?

  • Laboratory and management personnel at industrial manufacturing sites
  • Laboratory and management personnel at external contract laboratories
  • Supervisory authorities and regulatory bodies
