Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method describes the multi-element determination of trace elements by inductive
42、ly coupled plasmamassspectrometry (ICP-MS). Sample material in solution is introduced by pneumatic nebulization into a radiofrequency plasma whereenergy transfer processes cause desolvation, atomization, and ionization. The ions are extracted from the plasma through adifferentially pumped vacuum int
43、erface and separated on the basis of their mass-to-charge ratio by a quadrupole mass spectrometer.The ions transmitted through the quadrupole are detected by a continuous dynode electron multiplier assembly and the ioninformation processed by a data handling system. Interferences relating to the tec
44、hnique must be recognized and corrected for (seeSection 6 on interferences). Such corrections must include compensation for isobaric elemental interferences and interferencesfrom polyatomic ions derived from the plasma gas, reagents, or sample matrix. Instrumental drift as well as suppressions orenh
45、ancements of instrument response caused by the sample matrix must be corrected for by the use of internal standardization.5. Significance and Use5.1 The test method is useful for the determination of element concentrations in many natural waters waters, metallurgicalprocess cyanide solutions and was
46、tewaters. It has the capability for the determination of up to 2021 elements. High analysissensitivity can be achieved for some elements that are difficult to determine by other techniques.6. Interferences6.1 Several types of interference effects may contribute to inaccuracies in the determination o
47、f trace elements. Theseinterferences can be summarized as follows:6.1.1 Isobaric Elemental InterferencesIsobaric elemental interferences are caused by isotopes of different elements whichform singly or doubly charged ions of the same nominal mass-to-charge ratio and which cannot be resolved by the m
