M. Ghineraru et al., THE DETERMINATION OF SOME ELEMENTS IN WATER BY ATOMIC-EMISSION SPECTROMETRY USING AN AR-MIP SOURCE AND AN AR-ICP SOURCE, Revue Roumaine de Chimie, 38(12), 1993, pp. 1421-1424
An argon MIP source and an argon ICP source were used for the determin
ation of trace amounts of 13 elements (Ag, Ca, Cd, Cu, Fe, Li, Mg, Mn,
P, Pb, S, Sn, Zn) in water. The detection limits obtained by Ar-MIP s
ources are greater from 1 to 3 order of magnitude than those obtained
by Ar-ICP source. The experimental results show that the Ar-ICP source
is superior to the Ar-MIP source for the elements studied.
