Analysis of Acid Rock Drainage (ARD) with Micro Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (MP AES) – Comparison with ICP-MS
نویسندگان
چکیده
Analysis of dissolved metals in acid rock drainage (ARD) with an Agilent 4100 MP AES instrument that combines a nitrogen micro plasma with atomic emission detection (MP AES) was compared with an ICP-MS. Sample preparation consisted only of filtration, acidification (HNO3 1%) and addition of internal standard elements after appropriate dilution. In these complex matrices the systems gave identical results provided that care was taken to avoid ionization. This was easily done by addition of CsNO3 which eliminated the need for matrix matching of calibration solutions. The use of internal standards is only needed for elements with known spectral interferences.
