Ty. Peng et Zc. Jiang, FLUORINATION ASSISTED SLURRY ELECTROTHERMAL VAPORIZATION IN ICP-AES FOR THE DIRECT ANALYSIS OF SILICON DIOXIDE POWDER, Fresenius' journal of analytical chemistry, 360(1), 1998, pp. 43-46
A slurry fluorination electrothermal vaporization (ETV)-ICP-AES method
for the determination of Cu and Cr in SiO2 powders has been developed
, A polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) emulsion is used as fluorinating re
agent; the matrix (Si) is partially separated from the sample by selec
ting the ashing temperature and time to reduce the interference. Moreo
ver, the vaporization behaviour has been investigated in detail. The d
etection limits are 1.1 ng/mL with 3.8% of RSD (Cu) and 1.6 ng/mL with
3.2% of RSD (Cr). The method is applied to analyze the SiO2 powders w
ith satisfactory results.
