Abstract

Heavy metal pollution, particularly from sources like lead (Pb), poses significant risks to human health and the environment. Monitoring heavy metal contamination is essential, and Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is a promising technique for this purpose. However, matrix effects, particularly from adsorbent materials like zeolite and bentonite, can influence the accuracy of LIBS measurements. This study aims to investigate the matrix effects of zeolite and bentonite on the measurement of Pb using LIBS, focusing on how the physical and chemical properties of these materials impact the detection of Pb emission lines. Zeolite and bentonite samples were prepared by grinding and sieving to obtain powders with particle sizes less than 74 µm. These powders were then mixed with varying weights of lead nitrate (Pb(NO3)2) and pelletized to create uniform samples. The pellets were analyzed using LIBS, employing a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. The emitted plasma light was collected and transmitted to a spectrometer equipped with an intensified charge-coupled device (ICCD) camera. The spectral data were accumulated over 10 laser shots to ensure accuracy in detecting the elemental composition. The study found that the matrix effects from bentonite and zeolite significantly influenced the intensity and clarity of Pb emission lines. Bentonite showed a stronger influence on Pb detection, particularly due to the presence of Fe and Ti, which affected the Pb I lines at 405.8 nm and 368.3 nm. In contrast, zeolite exhibited fewer interferences, but the matrix effect was still evident. The matrix effects of zeolite and bentonite, derived from their physical and chemical properties, significantly impact Pb measurements using LIBS. Further research into different adsorbents and their matrix effects is warranted to improve the accuracy of LIBS in heavy metal analysis.

Matrix effects on bentonite indicated a stronger influence on Pb detection compare to zeolite. It mainly due to the presence of Fe and Ti, which is affected the Pb I lines at 405.8 nm and 368.3 nm. In contrast, zeolite exhibited fewer interferences, but the matrix effect was still obvious. These matrix effects-derived interreferences can be associated with the physical and chemical properties of the adsorbents. Further research into different adsorbents and their matrix effects is warranted to improve the accuracy of LIBS in heavy metal analysis.

Abstract

Pork adulteration in halal meat is a significant issue in Indonesia, emphasizing the need for accurate methods to ensure product authenticity and protect consumers. This study aims to identify various meat products and evaluate the use of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) in combination with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Partial Least Squares (PLS) for detecting meat adulteration. Samples were collected from various sources and analyzed using LIBS, with PCA used to distinguish meat species qualitatively and PLS to assess adulteration quantitatively. LIBS effectively distinguishes meat types, while PCA successfully identifies meat samples based on the intensity of the elemental compositions. PLS achieves high accuracy R2 > 0.99 in detecting pork adulteration in beef, buffalo, mutton, and chicken, surpassing single-line emission regression methods with low LOD (2.65%, 4.69%, 2.38%, and 3.41%) and LOQ (8.08%, 14.23%, 7.23%, and 10.34%) values. This study demonstrates that LIBS combined with PCA and PLS is a feasible and accurate method for identifying various meat types and detecting pork adulteration. The approach offers a reliable solution for addressing meat adulteration issues and ensuring halal application of LIBS with PCA and PLS for pork detection and quantification in halal meat product compliance.
