Abstract
On-line coupling of capillary GC with ICP-MS using the recently commerciali zed high-temperature interface was developed for the investigation of speci ation of arsenic in gas condensates. Arsenic was present as a number of spe cies, the two most abundant species being identified by retention time matc hing with standards such as triphenylarsine (Ph3As) and triethylarsine (Et3 As). The calibration graph, obtained for Ph3As, was linear up to 100 ng mL( -1) and the detection limit was 0.05 pg (as As). The arsenic speciation was found to undergo a slight evolution as a function of sample storage time. Spiking with standards was found to change the equilibrium in the system.
