Seventh Rio Symposium
on Atomic Spectrometry

7 - 12 April 2002

Florianópolis, SC, Brazil
 

Second Circular
 

Invitation





The organizers are pleased to invite you to participate in the Seventh Rio Symposium on Atomic Spectrometry to be held in Florianópolis, SC, Brazil, 07 – 12 April 2002, carrying on the 14 years of tradition of this conference. The Rio Symposium was founded in 1988 with the idea to invite renowned scientists from the rest of the world to Brazil in order to give an as large as possible number of Latin American scientists, including students, a chance to participate in a high-level international conference. This idea has been extremely well received, and after the first two Symposia were organized in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, other Latin American scientists were offering to host the ‘Rio Symposium’ in their countries. And in the following years, Rio Symposia were very successfully organized in Venezuela, Argentina, Mexico and Chile. During those years the conference, because of its high scientific level and its special character, also succeeded to attract an increasing number of participants from North America and Europe. But now we thought it is about time for the Rio Symposium to return ‘home’ and to be held one more time in Brazil. The beauty of the Santa Catarina Island is undoubtedly an appropriate surrounding to accommodate this conference and its participants.

The Seventh Rio Symposium on Atomic Spectrometry will carry on as much as possible of the tradition of previous conferences. As usual there will be invited lectures, oral and poster contributions. There will also be a Pre-symposium Course offered on Sunday, 07 April, and a Symposium Course in the late afternoon on three days during the week. But there will also be some innovations to take the progress into account that has been made over the years: Firstly, the conference language will be English only, and secondly, the conference will no longer be split into two parts.

We are sure that the beauty of our island and the charm of your Brazilian hosts will inspire you during the Seventh Rio Symposium on Atomic Spectrometry. We invite you to present and discuss the results of your research with us, to learn a little bit about our island, and also to enjoy the famous beaches around the island.

LOCATION OF THE VENUE






Florianópolis is the capital of the state of Santa Catarina, a city of about 350,000 inhabitants, the majority of which live on an island in the South Atlantic (Ilha de Santa Catarina). The island is connected to the mainland by two bridges, and to the rest of the world by an airport. The 821 m long steel suspension bridge, designed by the famous French architect Gustave Eiffel, which is also depicted symbolically in the emblem of the Seventh Rio Symposium, is one of the landmarks. Another one is the Public Market, one of the buildings that are left over from ‘good old times’ in downtown. Florianópolis is also famous for its excellent fresh seafood, such as shrimps and oysters.

The Santa Catarina Island has an area of roughly 500 square kilometers, and is famous for its 42 beaches and its beautiful landscape with subtropical vegetation, but it also has an interesting history. The first settlers came from Spain in 1542, but in 1675 the Portuguese took control, built several fortresses, and brought more than 5000 settlers from the Azores. These settlers imported, among other things, the art of making bobbin lace, which is practiced even today. Obviously there have been people living on the island and in Santa Catarina before the settlers came, but there is little known about them, and all that is left over today are numerous rock carvings. They are typically referred to as ‘pre-Columbian’, but many of them are 4000 – 5000 years old, and one of these carvings is depicted in the emblem of the Seventh Rio Symposium.

ABSTRACTS AND PUBLICATION OF MANUSCRIPTS




Submission of Abstracts
A one-page Abstract on A4 or letter-size paper of any submitted oral or poster contribution must be received by the organizers not later than 15 January 2002. Title and Abstract will be included in the Final Program and Book of Abstracts only if full payment of the Registration Fee for the presenting author has been received by that deadline. Non-registered participants will not be allowed to present an oral or poster contribution.

The Abstract should be written in English and preferably be sent by e-mail as an attached file in MS Word, followed by a hard copy on white paper by airmail together with the Registration Form. If the Abstract has not been submitted by e-mail, the hard copy has to be accompanied by a copy of the Abstract on diskette (3.5” high density). Abstracts cannot be sent through our web page. Please carefully consult the Rules for Preparing an Abstract.

Rules for Preparing an Abstract
The following rules should be followed when preparing an abstract for the Seventh Rio Symposium on Atomic Spectrometry. It is also necessary to follow IUPAC Terminology Recommendations in order to avoid too much heterogeneity in terminology. Abstracts that do not follow these recommendations might not be accepted.

- The Abstract should be prepared in English language as MS Word document, using font 12 Times New Roman, single spacing.

- Use a margin of ca. 3 cm on top and 2,5 cm on both sides and at the bottom.

- Write the title in bold characters, font 14, centered.

- Leave a blank line after the title.

- Write the author's (author') first name(s) and family name(s), with the presenting author’s name underlined, using font 12, centered as well.

- If the presenting author is not the corresponding author, please mark the corresponding author with an asterisk*.

- Do not leave a blank line; write the affiliation, address and e-mail of the corresponding author in italic type, also centered. In case of multiple addresses of the authors, please use superscripts, such as a, b, c, and use a new line for each new affiliation.

- Following the address(es), leave one blank line, and type the text of the abstract using font 12, single line spacing. Do not indent paragraphs.

- If figures are included, they have to be in black and white only, must be drawn clearly in digital medium and must be an integral part of the abstract on the hard copy and on the file/diskette.

- The abstract must not exceed one page.
IUPAC Terminology Recommendations
Over many years already, the International Union for Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) is gathering experts to establish and publish recommendations on the use of proper common terminology in chemistry, and also in Atomic Spectroscopy, in order to facilitate communication among scientists of different fields, and to avoid misinterpretation because of ambiguous terminology. Obviously, only a few selected terms can be mentioned in the following, however, it is strongly recommended to stick to these terms (and the related acronyms) exclusively in preparing Abstracts and Posters for the Seventh Rio Symposium on Atomic Spectrometry.

· A sample is analyzed, and an element is determined, e.g. the analysis of soils and sediments, and the determination of cadmium and lead.

· The element to be determined is the analyte.

· The correct terms and acronyms for frequently used spectrometric techniques are:

· Atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS)

· Flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS)

· Electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ET AAS), or

· Graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF AAS)

· Hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (HG AAS)

· Cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry (CV AAS)

· Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES) – note that the acronym AES is reserved for ‘Auger Electron Spectroscopy’

· Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)

· Electrothermal vaporization (ETV)

· The term ‘Zeeman AAS’ is incorrect, as Zeeman has nothing to do with AAS. The only use of the Zeeman-effect in AAS is for background correction. Hence, the only appropriate term is (atomic absorption spectrometry with) Zeeman-effect background correction.

· Interferences in atomic spectroscopy are generally classified into spectral interferences and non-spectral interferences. The latter are best classified according to the location or point in time when they occur, such as transport interference, dissociation interference, ionization interference, vapor phase interference etc. Terms such as ‘chemical’ or ‘physical’ interference should be avoided. The term ‘matrix interference’ is meaningless, as by definition all interferences are caused by concomitants, i.e. the matrix. The term matrix effect may be used to describe a complex combination of interferences that have not yet been identified.

· All calibration techniques are techniques, NOT ‘methods’. Hence they should be called standard calibration technique, analyte addition technique (NOT method of additions) etc.

· Speciation is the occurence of an element in different forms. When referring to the analytical activity of identifying and determining different species, it is recommended to use the term speciation analysis. The process of classification of an analyte according to physical (e.g. solubility) or chemical properties (e.g. bonding, reactivity) is called fractionation.
 

Publication of Contributions
Original research work, presented at the Seventh Rio Symposium, is eligible for publication in a Special Issue of Spectrochimica Acta Part B, dedicated to this symposium. Manuscripts should be prepared according to the Instructions for Authors of this Journal, and three copies should be submitted to Prof. Dr. Bernhard Welz preferably during the Seventh Rio Symposium, but not later than May 15, 2002. All manuscripts will be subject to the usual peer reviewing process before their acceptance.
