摘要
The capabilities and limitations of a commercial direct current argon plasma, multielement atomic emission spectrometric (DCP-MAES) technique for the determination of 18 common elements in water have been evaluated. The results demonstrate that the unit offers acceptable capabilities with respect to selectivity, sensitivity, accuracy, speed, and economy for the determination of many of the elements investigated. Interferences in the determinations of those elements subject to stray light due to the presence of calcium and (or) magnesium can often be compensated for by use of a simple linear correction procedure. A comparison of two-electrode and three-electrode d.c. argon plasma systems has shown that the latter offer advantages such as improved stability and lower background. A comparison with results published for a system based on excitation in an inductively coupled plasma has indicated that the present system offers comparable analytical capabilities for several of the elements investigated. © 1979.
