Laser ablation and low-pressure helium-ICP-MS for the analysis of alumina powder dispersed in glycerol.

چکیده
A combined method of laser ablation (LA) and ICP-MS has gained much attention as a direct analytical method for solid samples. The determination of some elements, however, is seriously disturbed by isobaric interferences, mainly caused by argon and ambient air constituents. The use of low-pressure helium-ICP is a promising solution of the problem. A 1:1 mixture of alumina powder and glycerol was deaerated and irradiated with a pulsed laser beam (150 mJ) for 10 s. The sample aerosol was transported to the ICP with a stream of helium. Indium was used as an internal standard for correcting the ablated sample amount. Calibration curves were prepared from glycerol containing high-purity alumina, trace metals and indium. The detection limits for Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu approached the fractional ppm levels. The proposed method was successfully applied to the analysis of different alumina samples (99 - 99.995% purity).

متن کاملSimultaneous determination of trace elements in minute samples by electrothermal-vaporization/low-pressure helium-ICP-MS.
Electrothermal vaporization with two filaments was studied for low-pressure helium-ICP-MS. A 10-microl volume of sample was dried and vaporized, and then introduced to the ICP. With this technique, four elements were simultaneously determined with the acceptable precisions (RSD ca. 10%). The detection limit based on 3sigma of background signals approached the fractional ppb range. The proposed ...
متن کاملDetermination of traces of phosphorus in steels by laser ablation/ low-pressure helium-ICP-MS.
coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) offers a powerful and rapid analytical method for different solid samples (e.g., rocks,1–3 metals,2,3 and ceramics3), the mass spectral interference often becomes a serious problem.4 For example, the determination of phosphorus (31P, monoisotopic element) is disturbed by 14N16OH+ and an adjacent large background peak of O2, which mainly originates from ...
متن کاملElectrothermal vaporization on a tungsten filament for the determination of arsenic in chloride solutions by low-pressure helium ICP-MS.
A combined method of electrothermal vaporization and low-pressure helium ICP-MS was developed for the determination of traces of arsenic in chloride solutions, because serious spectral interference occurred in conventional argon ICP-MS. On a tungsten filament was placed 5 microl of a sample and heated electrothermally to remove the solvent. The resulting residue on the filament was covered with...

Here, we present determinations of thallium (Tl) concentrations in the USGS reference materials BIR-1G, BHVO-2G and BCR-2G measured by solution ICP-MS. The Tl content in these three glasses spans a range of about 2–230 ng g, which is similar to the values published for the respective powder materials. The determined range of Tl concentrations in these three glass reference materials makes them ...
