Inductively coupled plasma tandem mass spectrometry (ICP-MS/MS) for the analysis of fuels, biofuels and their feedstock using a high temperature total consumption sample introduction system operated under continuous sample aspiration mode

Abstract

Elemental analysis of (bio)fuels and their feedstock is performed for the first time through ICP-MS/MS using a high temperature torch integrated sample introduction system (hTISIS). The system has been operated...

Atomic spectrometry update: review of advances in the analysis of metals, chemicals and materials

“…The second paper in this section by Martinez et al used ICP-MS and a high temperature total consumption sample introduction system (hTISIS) for the analysis of fuels, biofuels and their feedstock . 88 Samples were diluted with xylene prior to analysis. Temperature, collision/reaction gas type and flow rate were varied in order to obtain the highest signal to background ratio for each element.…”

Integration of capillary vibrating sharp-edge spray ionization as a nebulization device for ICP-MS

“…12 Specic nebulizers have been designed to combat that issue of low transport efficiency. These include direct injection nebulizers (DIN), [13][14][15] which introduce sample directly into the plasma, and torch integrated sample introduction systems (TSIS), [16][17][18] which use a small volume spray chamber to minimize sample loss. Although both the DIN and TSIS are capable of operating at total consumption, these systems can suffer from incomplete vaporization and ionization of droplets in the plasma, which can lead to unstable plasma conditions.…”

Development- and Validation-Improved Metrological Methods for the Determination of Inorganic Impurities and Ash Content from Biofuels

“…For the investigation of liquid biofuels, biodiesel was chosen and the samples were delivered by BRML (Romania) in brown bottles of 1 L. In order to determine the inorganic impurities, the following techniques were used: inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), microwave plasma atomic emission spectrometry (MWP-AES), and isotope dilution mass spectrometry (ID-MS), including the classic wet-chemical analysis (using the procedure to decompose a sample with a reagent, such as acids, to dissolve in a solvent) and the wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy WD-XRF analysis for the purpose of validating this method, which can be easily transferred to the portable XRF instruments used in the industry [13].…”
