“…Due to the high excitation temperature of the plasma, more emission lines are available for the determination but some may lead to spectral interference. Mainly the nuclear material matrix elements are multi-electronic and have emission-rich spectra; hence, they are expected to show severe spectral interference while determining the analytes in these matrices especially at the trace level (21)(22)(23)(24)(25). Therefore, either incorporation of correction factors for spectral interference or chemical separation of the major matrix are the two strategies adopted in an ICP-AES-based methodology.…”
