M. Leiterer et al., TRACE ANALYSIS OF METALS IN PLANT-SAMPLES WITH INDUCTIVELY-COUPLED PLASMA - MASS-SPECTROMETRY, Fresenius' journal of analytical chemistry, 359(4-5), 1997, pp. 423-426
An analytical method for the quantitative determination of Al, Ti, V,
Ct, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Cd, Ti and Pb in plant samples by ICP-MS has b
een developed. Spectral interferences, plant matrix effects, precision
and accuracy are discussed. Results are demonstrated for selected sam
ples concerned with the mass balance of heavy metals after utilization
of non-food vegetable materials in a power plant.
