Sj. Jiang et al., DETERMINATION OF TRACE ARSENIC AND SELENIUM IN WATER SAMPLES BY INDUCTIVELY-COUPLED PLASMA-MASS SPECTROMETRY, Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society, 41(2), 1994, pp. 139-144
Utilisation of a miniature anion-exchanger preconcentration column of
Dowex 1-X8 to increase the sensitivity for As and Se determinations by
inductively-coupled-plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is described. T
he ion signal was enhanced were 15 fold for As and 20 fold for Se. The
multielement detection limits were 2 ppt (ng/L) and 33 ppt for As and
Se, respectively. This flow injection ICP-MS method was applied to th
e determination of trace levels of arsenic and selenium in riverine re
ference material SLRS-2 and spring water samples.
