Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry –Accuracy of Analytical Results and Detection Limits in the Determination of Trace Elements in Soils and Sediments

摘要

A radial viewing 40.68 MHz ICP equipped with a 1 m Czerny-Turner monochromator (practical bandwidth 5 pm in the 2-nd order from 160 to 320 nm) was used for the determination of As, Mn, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cr and Ba  in soils and sediments. The quantification of spectral interferences in the presence of Al, Ca, Mg, Fe and Ti as matrix constituents was made by the Q-concept, as was proposed by Boumans and Vrakking. New spectral data with the above mentioned equipment were obtained.
