Abstract
In
this work, Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) was used to determine
the constituent of Gum Arabic (Acacia nilotica)
collected from five different locations in Sudan. Gum samples were irradiated
with 80 mJ pulse energy of Nd-YAG laser (1064 nm) and Atomic spectra Database
was used for the spectral analysis of the plasma emitted from these samples. It
was found that the samples contain the elements C, O, H, S, N, P, Na, Mg, Ca,
Fe, Cr, Mn, Co with different amounts. Some elements like (Ti, Br, Ar, Th, Kr,
Sc and Pr) are recorded here for the first time.
