16、uctively coupled plasma optical emission spectrophotometer) instrument is used to determine the concentrations of certain elements in materials of interest. The main advantage of ICP-OES over the AAS (atomic absorption spectroscopy) techniques in general is its multi-element capability, its longer l
17、inear dynamic ranges and fewer condensed phase interferences. In addition, besides the refractory compound-forming elements, elements such as iodine, phosphorus and sulfur are detected with more sensitivity by the ICP-OES technique. ICP-OES is also known as ICP-AES (inductively coupled plasma atomic
18、 emission spectrophotometer).ICP-OES was first introduced as a technique for trace elemental analysis. The technique experiences the least interference of any of the commonly used analytical atomic spectrometry techniques. Chemical interferences are largely eliminated by the high temperature of the
19、plasma. Physical interferences can be compensated for by taking advantage of the ICPs multi-element capability.In ICP-OES, the light emitted by the excited atoms and ions in the plasma is measured to obtain information about the sample. Because the excited species in the plasma emit light at several
20、 different wavelengths, the emission from the plasma is polychromatic. This polychromatic radiation has to be separated into individual wavelengths so the emission from each excited species can be identified and its intensity can be measured without interference from emission at other wavelengths.An
21、 important feature of the ICP that is not common to most other emission sources is that since the sample aerosol is introduced through the centre of the ICP, it can be surrounded by the high temperature plasma for a comparatively long time, approximately 2 ms. It is this long residence time of the a
22、nalyte particles in the centre of the plasma that is largely responsible for the lack of matrix interferences in the ICP.The determination described in this International Standard is important with respect to product safety and the environment. ICP-OES is a state-of-the art instrument for accurate d

The aerosol is transported to the inductively coupled plasma which has a high temperature zone (8 000 C to 10 000 C). The an
29、alytes are heated (excited) to different (atomic and/or ionic) states and produce characteristic optical emissions. These emissions are separated based on their respective wavelengths and their intensities are measured (spectrometry). The intensities are proportional to the concentrations of analyte
30、s in the aqueous sample. The quantification is carried out via an external multipoint linear standardization obtained by comparing the emission intensity of an unknown sample with that of a standard sample.

A p
34、ortion of the photons emitted by the ICP is collected with a lens or a concave mirror. This focusing optic forms an image of the ICP on the entrance aperture of a wavelength selection device such as a monochromator. The particular wavelength exiting the monochromator is converted to an electrical si
35、gnal by a photodetector. The signal is amplified and processed by the detector electronics, then displayed and stored by a personal computer. Different components of the instruments are shown in Figure 1. A description of the different components is given in 5.1.1 to 5.1.4.5.1.1 Test solution introd

38、 generator, to generate an oscillating electro-magnetic field at a frequency of 27,12 MHz. This radiation is directed to the load coil.

46、t piece into a micro-Kjeldahl digestion flask.7.3.1.2 Add 20 ml concentrated nitric acid and up to 20 ml water. Boil the contents of the flask to reduce the volume to 20 ml. Cool the solution, add 10 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid and boil again. Add further small quantities of nitric acid wheneve
47、r the contents begin to blacken. When the addition of nitric acid is no longer necessary (i.e. when the liquid no longer blackens) continue heating till white fumes are evolved.7.3.1.3 At this stage, cool the solution and add 10 ml of saturated ammonium oxalate solution and again boil until white fu
48、mes are again produced. The oxalate treatment assists in removing yellow coloration due to nitro compounds, so that the final solution is colourless. Make the final volume of 50ml in a polypropylene bottle using deionized water.7.3.1.4 Blanks shall be prepared with the same quantities of the reagent
