ATOMIC-EMISSION OF CHLORINE - SPECTRA FROM 200 TO 900 NM BY SEALED INDUCTIVELY-COUPLED PLASMA-ATOMIC EMISSION-SPECTROSCOPY

Eighty-seven atomic chlorine lines and chlorine molecular spectra emitted in the 200-900 nm wavelength range are identified in a pure chlorine discharge generated at atmospheric pressure in a sealed inductively coupled plasma. Only small quantities of chlorine are needed for spectral evaluation because the flow rate is typically less than 20 mL/min.
