Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method

24、describes the multi-element determi-nation of trace elements by inductively coupled plasmamassspectrometry (ICP-MS). Sample material in solution is intro-duced by pneumatic nebulization into a radiofrequency plasmawhere energy transfer processes cause desolvation, atomiza-tion, and ionization. The i

25、ons are extracted from the plasmathrough a differentially pumped vacuum interface and sepa-rated on the basis of their mass-to-charge ratio by a quadrupolemass spectrometer. The ions transmitted through the quadru-pole are detected by a continuous dynode electron multiplierassembly and the ion infor

26、mation processed by a data handlingsystem. Interferences relating to the technique must be recog-nized and corrected for (see Section 6 on interferences). Suchcorrections must include compensation for isobaric elementalinterferences and interferences from polyatomic ions derivedfrom the plasma gas,

27、reagents, or sample matrix. Instrumentaldrift as well as suppressions or enhancements of instrumentresponse caused by the sample matrix must be corrected for bythe use of internal standardization.5. Significance and Use5.1 The test method is useful for the determination ofelement concentrations in m

28、any natural waters and wastewa-ters. It has the capability for the determination of up to 20elements. High analysis sensitivity can be achieved for someelements that are difficult to determine by other techniques.6. Interferences6.1 Several types of interference effects may contribute toinaccuracies

29、 in the determination of trace elements. Theseinterferences can be summarized as follows:6.1.1 Isobaric Elemental InterferencesIsobaric elementalinterferences are caused by isotopes of different elementswhich form singly or doubly charged ions of the same nominalmass-to-charge ratio and which cannot

30、 be resolved by the massspectrometer in use. All elements determined by this testmethod have, at a minimum, one isotope free of isobaricelemental interference. Of the analytical isotopes recom-mended for use with this test method (see Table 2), onlymolybdenum-98 (ruthenium) and selenium-82 (krypton)

31、 haveisobaric elemental interferences. If alternative analytical iso-topes having higher natural abundance are selected in order toachieve greater sensitivity, an isobaric interference may occur.All data obtained under such conditions must be corrected bymeasuring the signal from another isotope of

32、the interferingelement and subtracting the appropriate signal ratio from theisotope of interest. A record of this correction process shouldbe included with the report of the data. It should be noted thatsuch corrections will only be as accurate as the accuracy of theisotope ratio used in the element

33、al equation for data calcula-tions. Relevant isotope ratios and instrument bias factorsshould be established prior to the application of any correc-tions.D5673 1026.1.2 Abundance SensitivityAbundance sensitivity is aproperty defining the degree to which the wings of a mass peakcontribute to adjacent

34、 masses. The abundance sensitivity isaffected by ion energy and quadrupole operating pressure.Wing overlap interferences may result when a small ion peakis being measured adjacent to a large one. The potential forthese interferences should be recognized and the spectrometerresolution adjusted to min

35、imize them.6.1.3 Isobaric Polyatomic Ion InterferencesIsobaric poly-atomic ion interferences are caused by ions consisting of morethan one atom that have the same nominal mass-to-charge ratioas the isotope of interest, and which cannot be resolved by themass spectrometer in use. These ions are commo

36、nly formed inthe plasma or interface system from support gases or samplecomponents. Most of the common interferences have beenidentified, and these are listed in Table 3 together with themethod elements affected. Such interferences must be recog-nized, and when they cannot be avoided by the selectio

37、n of analternative analytical isotope, appropriate corrections must bemade to the data. Equations for the correction of data should beestablished at the time of the analytical run sequence as thepolyatomic ion interferences will be highly dependent on thesample matrix and chosen instrument condition

38、s.6.1.4 Physical InterferencesPhysical interferences are as-sociated with the physical processes that govern the transportof the sample into the plasma, sample conversion processes inthe plasma, and the transmission of ions through the plasmamass spectrometer interface. These interferences may resul

39、t indifferences between instrument responses for the sample andthe calibration standards. Physical interferences may occur inthe transfer of solution to the nebulizer (for example, viscosityeffects), at the point of aerosol formation and transport to theplasma (for example, surface tension), or duri

40、ng excitation andionization processes within the plasma itself. High levels ofdissolved solids in the sample may contribute deposits ofmaterial on the extraction, or skimmer cones, or both, reducingthe effective diameter of the orifices and, therefore, iontransmission. Dissolved solids levels not ex

41、ceeding 0.2 %(w/v) have been recommended to reduce such effects. Internalstandardization may be effectively used to compensate forTABLE 2 Recommended Analytical Isotopes and AdditionalMasses That Are Recommended To Be MonitoredIsotopeAElement of Interest27 Aluminum121, 123 Antimony75 Arsenic135, 137

Internal standards shouldhave similar analytical behavior to the elements being deter-mined.6.1.5 Memory InterferencesMemory interferences resultwhen isot

48、opes of elements in a previous sample contribute tothe signals measured in a new sample. Memory effects canresult from sample deposition on the sampler and skimmercones, and from the buildup of sample material in the plasmatorch and spray chamber. The site where these effects occur isdependent on th

49、e element and can be minimized by flushing thesystem with a rinse blank consisting of HNO3(1+49) in waterbetween samples. The possibility of memory interferencesshould be recognized within an analytical run and suitable rinsetimes should be used to reduce them. The rinse times necessaryfor a particular element should be estimated prior to analysis.This may be achieved by aspirating a standard containingelements corresponding to ten times the upper end of the linearrange for a normal sample analysis period, followed byanalysis of the rinse blank
