Development of a procedure for the multi-element determination of trace elements in wine by ICP-MS

An inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometric (ICP-MS) procedure has been developed for the determination of trace elements in wine. The procedure consists in simple 1+1 dilution of the wine and semi-quantitative analysis (without external calibration) using In as internal standard. Thirty-one elements at concentrations ranging from 0.1 mg mL(-1) to 0.5 ng mL(-1) can be determined by ICP-MS analysis with and without digestion. It was investigated whether a matrix effect observed for EtOH in the wine matrix can be overcome by application of a micro-concentric nebulizer with a membrane desolvator (MCN 6000). The results obtained for the MCN 6000 are compared with those obtained by use of a conventional Meinhard nebulizer. It is shown that the observed matrix effect can only be compensated by use of an internal standard for the Meinhard nebulizer, but not for the MCN 6000. Results for ICP-MS are compared with those obtained by total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (TXRF).     

Determination of uranium in tap water by ICP-MS

A fast and accurate procedure has been developed for the determination of uranium at microg L(-1) level in tap and mineral water. The method is based on the direct introduction of samples, without any chemical pre-treatment, into an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). Uranium was determined at the mass number 238 using Rh as internal standard. The method provides a limit of detection of 2 ng L(-1) and a good repeatability with relative standard deviation values (RSD) about 3% for five independent analyses of samples containing 73 microg L(-1) of uranium. Recovery percentage values found for the determination of uranium in spiked natural samples varied between 91% and 106%. Results obtained are comparable with those found by radiochemical methods for natural samples and of the same order for the certified content of a reference material, thus indicating the accuracy of the ICP-MS procedure without the need of using isotope dilution. A series of mineral and tap waters from different parts of Spain and Morocco were analysed.     

Direct determination of rare earth impurities in high purity erbium oxide dissolved in nitric acid by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry

A novel method was developed for the direct determination of trace quantities of rare earth elements (REEs) in high purity erbium oxide dissolved in nitric acid by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) in this work. The mass spectra overlap interferences arose from Er matrix on the neighbouring and monoisotopic analytes of ¹⁶⁵Ho(100) and ¹⁶⁹Tm(100) were eliminated by adjusting instrumental peak resolution value from 0.7 to 0.3 amu. The matrix suppression effect of Er on the ion peak signals of REEs impurities was effectively compensated with spiking In as internal standard element. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) of REEs impurities was from 0.0090 to 0.025 μg g⁻¹, the recoveries of spiked sample for REEs were found to be in the range of 90.3-107% through using the proposed method and relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) varied between 2.5% and 6.7%. The novel methodology had been found to be suitable for the direct determination of trace REEs impurities in 99.999-99.9999% high purity Er₂O₃ and the results obtained from this method keep in good agreement with that acquired from high resolution ICP-MS.

Precision and accuracy of laser ablation-ICP-MS analysis of rare earth elements with external calibration

Solid sample introduction into an ICP-MS by laser ablation is an effective method for the total analysis of rare earth elements (REEs) in soils because no digestion is needed. A problem of the method, however, is the difference of the ablated mass for each laser shot. Therefore, internal standard for the compensation of signal instability, sample preparation, and the calibration method have to be carefully chosen.The analyzed sample was a certified standard provided by IAEA (SOIL-7). The sample was mixed with an internal standard solution and polyethylene (PE), dried, homogenized in a ball-mixer/mill, and pressed to a pellet. For the calibration 5 external standards with increasing REEs concentrations (0.4–20 g/g) as well as a blank were prepared in the same way.The analysis of the pellets was performed on a VG PlasmaQuad II + with a LaserLab unit. The laser ablation-cell was modified to improve the sample particle transportation characteristics and to allow a quicker sample-exchange. The pellets were ablated from six different spots for 60 s each with a laser-repetition rate of 4 Hz.The correlation coefficients of the calibration curves based on 5 standards, were better than 0.995. The concentrations c_A of the 15 REEs in the soil sample were determined with an average relative confidence interval 100(CI)/c_A of 6.95%, as a figure for the precision. This good precision have been obtained with a new laser ablation cell, which will be described in detail.With 2 exceptions (Ce and La) the measured concentrations were within the confidence intervals (CI) of the certified values. Therefore, with respect to accuracy and precision, the presented method offers a convenient way to analyze homogeneous and powdered soil samples for REE's without digestion. Since a good calibration for the REE determination may be obtained, the laser sampling variance (within the sample) is less significant than the analytical variance. Automation of the method is possible by construction of an autosampler based on the modified laser cell.Presented in part at the 1993 European Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry, Granada, Spain     

Cation-exchange isolation and ICP-AES determination of rare earth elements in geological silicate materials

An ion-exchange ICP-AES method for the determination of 14 rare earth elements (REEs) and Y in geological materials is described. The separation of REEs from Ba using a Dowex 50W-X8 cation resin is especially considered since Ba is an excellent internal standard for REE determination by this technique. Although total recovery with either HCl or HNO₃ may be achieved, it is advantageous to use both acids sequentially. Volume and concentration of the acids are optimized attaining a quantitative separation of REEs from Ba by the introduction of the sample solution in a 1.75 mol/l HCl medium, followed by elution with 2 mol/l HNO₃ to remove matrix elements and with 7 mol/l HNO₃ to elute the analytes. The total elution volume is significantly reduced without decreasing the efficiency. The behaviour of the matrix constituents under the selected conditions is also studied, evaluating their elution percentages in each step. The final solution obtained contains only the REEs and Y, with the bulk of Sc and minor amounts of Cr, Fe, Hf and Ta. Experimental data for 5 geological reference standards (NIM-G, GSP-1, AGV-1, NIM-L and NIM-S) are reported. Good agreement between the present results and previously accepted values by various analytical techniques is observed.     

Determination of rare earth elements in Indian kimberlite using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS)

A method has been developed for the analysis of rare earth elements (REEs) in kimberlite samples using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). The samples were dissolved using sodium peroxide fusion and after appropriate dilutions the solutions were analyzed using ICP-MS. The paper presents the concentration of rare-earth elements as determined by ICP-MS in eight kimberlite samples from Central India. The method was validated using certified reference materials STSD-1 and STSD-2 from Canadian Certified Reference Material Project. The method detection limit of various REEs varies from 0.12 to 1.54?mg?kg^?1. The total REE concentrations range from 418 to 726?mg?kg^?1 and fall within the interval of those reported in the literature for kimberlites. Despite the marked difference in the REE contents, all the analyzed samples show similar REE patterns that resemble those for kimberlites. In order to compare ICP-MS results, the samples were analyzed using instrumental neutron activation analysis which is a reference method for determination of REEs in geological samples.     

Direct μ-flow injection isotope dilution ICP-MS for the determination of heavy metals in oil samples

The determination of trace elements in oil samples and their products is of high interest as their presence significantly affects refinery processes and the environment by possible impact of their combustion products. In this context, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) plays an important role due to its outstanding analytical properties in the quantification of trace elements. In this work, we present the accurate and precise determination of selected heavy metals in oil samples by making use of the combination of μ-flow direct injection and isotope dilution ICP-MS (ICP-IDMS). Spike solutions of ⁶²Ni, ⁹⁷Mo, ¹¹⁷Sn and ²⁰⁶Pb were prepared in an organic solvent, mixed directly with the diluted oil samples and tested to be fit for purpose for the intended ID approach. The analysis of real samples revealed strong matrix effects affecting the ICP-MS sensitivity, but not the isotope ratio measurements, so that accurate results are obtained by ICP-IDMS. Typical relative standard deviations were about 15% for peak area and peak height measurements, whereas the isotope ratios were not significantly affected (RSD < 2%). The developed method was validated by the analysis of a metallo-organic multi-element standard (SCP-21, typically applied as a calibration standard) and the standard reference material SRM1084a (wear metals in lubricating oil). The obtained results were in excellent agreement with the certified values (recoveries between 98% and 102%), so the proposed methodology of combining μ-flow direct injection and ICP-IDMS can be regarded as a new tool for the matrix-independent, multi-element and reliable determination of trace elements in oil and related organic liquids.
