New high temperature plasmas and sample introduction systems for analytical atomic emission and mass spectrometry: Progress report, 1 January 1988--31 December 1988
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:719746
In this project, new high temperature plasmas and new sample introduction systems are developed for rapid elemental analysis of gases, solutions, and solids using atomic emission spectrometry and mass spectrometry. These devices offer promise of solving singularly difficult analytical problems that either exist now or are likely to arise in the future in the various fields of energy generation, environmental pollution, biomedicine and nutrition. Emphasis is being placed on: (a) generation and fundamental investigation of annular, helium inductively coupled plasmas that are suitable for atomization, excitation, and ionization of elements possessing high excitation and ionization energies, with the intent of enhancing the detecting powers of a number of elements; (b) generation of high-temperature helium plasmas that require low gas flows and low input power, with the intent of decreasing the cost of analytical determination; and, (c) development and characterization of new sample introduction systems that consume microliter of microgram quantities of samples. 26 refs.
