Time-resolved Signals from Particles Injected into the Inductively Coupled Plasma
نویسنده
چکیده
Atomic emission signals derived from single particles in the 1-10 pm size range have been observed after injection of refractory oxides and silicates into the inductively coupled plasma by the nebulization of dilute suspensions. Detection limits by mass are in the 1 x 10-l3-l x lo-" g range because of the discrete nature of the signal and the low background against which the signals are observed. True calibration is currently impossible because of the unavailability of particles of accurately known mass, but element-specific particle counting is easy and a valuable capability in itself for discrimination and identification of uncommon particles in complex mixtures.

Size Distribution Measurement of Candle\'s Soot Nanoparticles by Using Time Resolved Laser Induced Incandescence
Time resolved laser induced incandescence (LII) technique is used to measure size distribution of soot nanoparticles of candle's flame. Pulsed Nd:YAG laser is used to heat nanoparticles to incandescence temperature and the resulting signal is measured. Mass and energy balance equations are numerically solved to calculate temperature of soot particles in low fluence regime. Assuming Plank black ...
متن کاملCapabilities of fast data acquisition with microsecond time resolution in inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and identification of signal artifacts from millisecond dwell times during detection of single gold nanoparticles
In inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), short transient signals originating from individual nanoparticles are typically recorded in a time-resolvedmeasurement with reduced dwell times in themillisecond time regime. This approachwas termed single-particle ICP-MS in the past and used for particle counting and sizing but is not without limitations. In this work, a home-built data...
متن کاملSelective Separation and Preconcentration of trace Amounts of Gallium in Water and Rice Samples using Cloud Point Extraction and Determination by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry
In the present study a cloud-point extraction process using non-ionic surfactant Triton X-114 for selective extraction of gallium from aqueous solutions was developed. The method is based on the complex formation of Ga (III) with N, N′ -bis (salycilidene)-1, 2-phenylenediamine (salophen) as a chelating agent in buffer media of pH 5. After phase separation and dilution of the surfactant-rich pha...

Dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) combined with inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) was applied for the determination of lead in different environmental water samples. Ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC), chloroform and ethanol were used as chelating agent, extraction solvent and disperser solvent, respectively. The effective parameters, such...
متن کاملTime-resolved ICP-MS measurement: a new method for elemental and multiparametric analysis of single cells.
Time-resolved inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has attracted much attention for elemental and multiparametric analysis of single cells, instead of a classical bulk analysis of large amount of cells after a dissolution. In the time-resolved measurement, cells are directly introduced into the plasma via nebulizing or micro drop dispensing, and then ion plumes corresponding to...
