Atomic spectrometry update: review of advances in atomic spectrometry and related techniques

“…Galbacs et al 85 used classical thermodynamics to predict the equilibrium concentration of polyatomic species formed from Ar, H, D and O in the ICP, with a view to the analytical determination of D by monitoring a polyatomic ion. They predicted that the species ArD + , OD + , HD + , and D 2 + (at m / z 42, 18, 3, and 4 respectively) were sufficiently present at T = 5000 K to make them useful for determination of D. After optimisation of the operating conditions, calibration curves were constructed for ions at m / z 4 and 42 using mixtures of D-depleted (with 1 ppm D) and D-enriched (99.96 atom% D) waters.…”

Detection of tritium using ultrafast laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy

“…Considering 3 H is toxic and volatile, the LIBS measurements of irradiated samples were all carried out in a static 45 Torr Ar environment. The 3 H studied here was produced via neutron irradiation of a 6 Li-enriched LiAlO 2 ceramic pellet which was surrounded by a Zircaloy-4 tube that acts as a 3 H getter. This Zircaloy-4 getter component is Ni-plated to prevent oxidation.…”

“…[3][4][5] However, all of these techniques are laboratory-based and require extensive sample preparation. Mass spectrometry methods such as ICP-MS are capable of high precision measurements, 6 whereas other instruments, e.g., nanoscale SIMS 7 and APT, 5 can map isotopes with nanometer-scale spatial resolution. Some of these techniques are not useful for obtaining spatial information (e.g., ICP-MS).…”

Efficient hydrogen isotopic analysis with Cu–Fe/ZSM-5 zeolite as a cryogenic chromatographic stationary phase

“…1,2 Several techniques such as Raman spectroscopy, quadrupolar mass spectrometry, and gas chromatography were developed for this analysis. 3–5 Among them, gas chromatography stands out due to its accuracy of analysis and simplicity of operation and construction. 6,7…”

“…1,2 Several techniques such as Raman spectroscopy, quadrupolar mass spectrometry, and gas chromatography were developed for this analysis. [3][4][5] Among them, gas chromatography stands out due to its accuracy of analysis and simplicity of operation and construction. 6,7 Gas chromatography always relies on column stationary phase materials, which generally include glass microspheres, 8 alumina, 9 metal organic framework composites, 10 and membranes.…”
