Abstract:
A robust approach of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) in ambient air has been employed to investigate concentration of the trace elements in fennel seeds (saunf) via generation of plasma through the second harmonic of solid state Nd: YAG pulsed laser 532 nm. Spectral emissions of saunf plasma were acquired with resolution of 0.06 nm in spectral range of 200–720 nm. The experimental determination showed the existence of elements namely, Ca, Al, K, Fe, S, P, Mg, Mn, Sr, Na, and Zn in the sample. However, no toxic elements such as Pb, Cr etc. were perceived. The relative concentrations of detected elements were measured through the intensity of the strongest peak, intensities of every emission from every specie, and calibration free (CF)-LIBS. To indorse the experimental determinations of LIBS, a comparative study was carried out with the outcomes of atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The results of LIBS and AAS were compared by the statistical treatment.
