Determination of some refractory elements and Pb by fluorination assisted electrothermal vaporization inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry with platform and wall vaporization
“…The method could be calibrated with aqueous standards and gave recoveries in the range 85 to 116% for analysis of eight elements in GBW 07602 (Bush Twigs and Leaves). Both platform and wall atomisation 236 were deemed suitable for the measurement of Cr, La, Mo, Pb, Ti, V and Zr in GBW 07401 (Soil) by ETV-ICP-MS with the addition of PTFE as fluorination reagent. Similar results were obtained whether samples were introduced as slurries or in the form of acid digests.…”
This is the 27th annual review published in Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry of the application of atomic spectrometry to the chemical analysis of environmental samples. This Update refers to papers published approximately between September 2010 and August 2011 and continues the series of Atomic Spectrometry Updates (ASUs) in Environmental Analysis 1 that should be read in conjunction with other related ASU reviews in the series, namely: clinical and biological materials, foods and beverages;(2) advances in atomic spectrometry and related techniques;(3) elemental speciation;(4) X-ray fluorescence spectrometry(5) and industrial analysis: metals, chemicals and advanced materials.(6) To celebrate the 25th anniversary of JAAS, a 25-year retrospective of ASU reviews has been published(7) to highlight the development and evolution of atomic spectrometric techniques and their use in measurement applications. Specific to this review, in the field of air analysis there is ongoing interest in measuring atmospheric Hg species and evaluating procedures for the determination of the carbonaceous content of airborne particulate matter. In a measurement arena where RMs are relatively scarce, a number of useful interlaboratory comparison studies have been reported. In the field of water analysis, as in previous years, the main areas of activity are the development of preconcentration and extraction procedures and elemental speciation protocols for elements such as As, Cr and Hg. There is increasing interest in evaluating TXRF for trace analysis. In the field of soil and plant analysis, sample dissolution and extraction remain a major focus of interest-especially methods to assess bioavailability-and there is a hint that 'greener' approaches, using less concentrated acid, are becoming important. Especially notable are the continued developments in LIBS, a shift towards more widespread use of techniques such as HPLC-ICP-MS and synchrotron-based XRF, and growth in studies where multiple techniques have been applied to the same sample for trace element mapping or speciation analysis. Less desirable are the publication of variants on well-established analytical methods with marginal novelty and several instances where substantially similar articles appeared almost simultaneously in more than one journal, thus generating 'two publications for the price of one'. It is evident that MC-ICP-MS and LA-MC-ICP-MS are now so widely available in geoanalytical laboratories that applications papers, that include little of novelty from an analytical perspective, dominate the literature. However, this trend should not mask the vital research required to underpin and improve the quality of the geochemical data on which any interpretation is based. Another observation is the high proportion of analytical and applications papers with Chinese authors, reflecting the rise of atomic spectrometry in China over the past number of years.

A collision/reaction cell ICP-MS was used to develop a method for the multi-element determination of Na, Mg, Al, K, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Sr, Nb, Mo, Ag, Cd, Sb, Cs, Ba, Hg and Pb in mastic gum.
“…The representative chemical modifiers are halogenating reagents, metal salts, and chelating reagents (25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31). Among them, polytetrafluoroethylene as a classical and effective chemical modifier has been used in ETV-ICP-AES because of its attractive features: high fluorine content, sufficient activity, suitable decomposition temperature (about 415 o C), fewer inorganic impurities, and convenient use (32)(33)(34). To the best of our knowledge, however, polytetrafluoroethylene as a chemical modifier for ETV-ICP-MS determination of trace impurities in Ta 2 O 5 has received little attention so far (35).…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
