Abstract

A method and apparatus are disclosed for in situ addition calibration of an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer or mass spectrometer using a precision gas metering valve to introduce a volatile calibration gas of an element of interest directly into an aerosol particle stream. The present in situ calibration technique is suitable for various remote, on-site sampling systems such as laser ablation or nebulization. 5 figs.

Laser ablation mass removal versus incident power density during solid sampling for inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy

Journal Article Shannon, M A; Mao, X L; Fernandez, A; ... - Analytical Chemistry (Washington)

For laser ablation solid sampling, the quantity of material ablated (removed) influences the sensitivity of chemical analysis. The mass removal rate depends strongly on the laser power density, which is the main controllable parameter for a given material and wavelength parameter using laser solid sampling for inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). For a wide variety of materials, a decrease in the rate of change, or roll-off, in mass removed is observed with increasing incident laser power density. The roll-off results from a change in the efficiency of material removed by the laser beam, primarily due to shielding ofmore » « less

Methods for detecting and correcting inaccurate results in inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry

Patent Chan, George C. Y. [Bloomington, IN]; Hieftje, Gary M [Bloomington, IN]

A method for detecting and correcting inaccurate results in inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). ICP-AES analysis is performed across a plurality of selected locations in the plasma on an unknown sample, collecting the light intensity at one or more selected wavelengths of one or more sought-for analytes, creating a first dataset. The first dataset is then calibrated with a calibration dataset creating a calibrated first dataset curve. If the calibrated first dataset curve has a variability along the location within the plasma for a selected wavelength, errors are present. Plasma-related errors are then corrected by diluting the unknown samplemore » « less

Uncertainty Measurement for Trace Element Analysis of Uranium and Plutonium Samples by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES) and Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS)

Technical Report Gallimore, David L. [Los Alamos National Laboratory]

The measurement uncertainty estimatino associated with trace element analysis of impurities in U and Pu was evaluated using the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty Measurement (GUM). I this evalution the uncertainty sources were identified and standard uncertainties for the components were categorized as either Type A or B. The combined standard uncertainty was calculated and a coverage factor k = 2 was applied to obtain the expanded uncertainty, U. The ICP-AES and ICP-MS methods used were deveoped for the multi-element analysis of U and Pu samples. A typical analytical run consists of standards, process blanks, samples, matrix spiked samples,more » « less

Inductively coupled plasma--atomic emission spectroscopy: an evaluation of the use of nitrogen--argon admixtures as plasma discharge atmospheres

Technical Report Zalewski, J. C.

The effects of the use of nitrogen in either the plasma coolant or aerosol carrier gas flows on the physical and spectrochemical properties of the inductively coupled plasma (ICP) were examined. While the plasma operated with nitrogen in the coolant flow exhibited a stability comparable to that of the argon plasma, the use of nitrogen in the aerosol carrier gas flow resulted in a plasma that was less stable. The detection limits obtained for the three plasmas exhibited a similar trend. In addition, the use of nitrogen--argon admixtures in the plasma coolant gas flow yielded an increase in both themore » « less
