The aim of this laboratory session is the practical application of flame photometry for the analytical determination of constituents in contaminated aqueous solutions, which may arise, for example, as a result of thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries. Furthermore, the results obtained are assessed in terms of their toxicity and classified from a technical perspective in the context of potential hazards. The experiment handout is available for download in the corresponding Moodle course.
