	Salin, Eric D. McGill University Department of Chemistry 801 Sherbrooke Street West Montreal, QC H3A 2K6 Telephone: (514) 398-6236 Fax: (514) 398-3797 eric.salin@mcgill.ca http://salin.chem.mcgill.ca/


	Research expertise

	Water, Air Research areas Eric Salin works in artificial intelligence, instrument design and environmental analysis. He is especially interested in sample introduction techniques and elemental analysis for digested and non-digested samples. Previous environmental projects 1. Trace analysis instrument 2. Sample introduction for plasma atomic emission and mass spectrometry Previous collaboration Ontario Environment ministery


	Available equipment

	Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometers Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer


	Current research projects

	1. Trace sample analysis Person(s) in charge : Salin, Eric D. Description : The project concerns the development of an apparatus that simplifies sample preparation and allows extremely low level detection. Water has to be sprayed inside the apparatus so that it can concentrate elements; soil is poured inside it without any preparation. The sample can then be analysed in the usual manner. Partners : Instrumentation company Status of research : pilot plant Availability of results : free Concerned organizations : semi-conductor industries, laboratories 2. Rapid digester Person(s) in charge : Salin, Eric D. Description : The project concerns the development of a capsule that takes samples directly from the site. Still in the capsule, it can then be microwaved in order to break down chemical forms into elements. It also reduces volume. The sample can then be analysed in the usual manner. Partners : Instrumentation company Status of research : pilot plant Availability of results : patented; available licence Concerned organizations : laboratories, industries


	Interest in enventual collaboration

	Industries or organizations : instrumentation industries and organizations with analysis problems Types of collaboration : R-D projects through manufacturing


	Potential research areas

	Trace analysis Artificial intelligence (process control, expert systems)
