用低功率微波热雾化器与十字交叉气动雾化器作为ICP-AES进样装置的比较

在 ICP- AES中 ,最常用来引入液体样品的方法是雾化法 .因此 ,雾化器雾化效率的高低直接影响到 ICP- AES的分析性能 1,2 ] .目前 ,在 ICP- AES中最常用的雾化器是气动雾化器 (PN) .它的优点是简单、稳定性好 ;缺点是产生的雾滴的直径范围很宽 (一般为 1～ 50 μm) ,进样效率低 ,一般仅为 1 %～3% 3] .热雾化器是近年发展起来的一种雾化效率较高的雾化法 ,已被越来越多地用于 ICP- AES4～ 7] .热雾化法的雾化原理与同轴气动雾化法类似 ,不同之处在于 :对于热雾化法来说 ,(1 )雾化所需的气体来自于液体样品本身而不是外加的惰性…

Comparison of a Low Microwave-powered Thermospray Nebulizer and a Pneumatic Nebulizer for ICP-AES

The analytical performance of two sample introduction systems, a low microwave powered thermospray nebulizer and a pneumatic nebulizer, coupled to an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer, was compared. Several parameters including the sample uptake rate, the carrier gas flow rate and the observation height(above the load coil) were optimized and compared. Under the optimized conditions, the background equivalent concentration of Mn 257 610 nm, memory effect, HCl concentration effect on emission intensity of some selected elements, detection limits(DLs) and relative standard deviation(RSD) for Cd, Co, Cr, Mn, La with either nebulizer were studied. The DLs obtained with MWTN are lower than those with PN, but the RSDs are worse with MWTN than with PN.
