Dual-vessel integrated microwave sample decomposition and digest evaporation for trace element analysis of silicon material by ICPMS: Design and application
Y. Han et al., Dual-vessel integrated microwave sample decomposition and digest evaporation for trace element analysis of silicon material by ICPMS: Design and application, ANALYT CHEM, 73(6), 2001, pp. 1106-1111
A dual-vessel apparatus using closed-vessel microwave sample preparation is
designed. A protocol that includes in situ reagent purification, sample de
composition, and digest evaporation has been developed. The essential chemi
stry mechanisms will be discussed in detail. Application of the method for
analysis of trace amounts of chromium, nickel, copper, and zinc in polycrys
talline silicon using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS)
is demonstrated.
