Slurry nebulization in plasmas for analysis of advanced ceramic materials

Abstract

The current state of research on slurry nebulization in plasmas for the analysis of advanced materials is thoroughly surveyed.

Composition analysis of ancient celadon via femtosecond laser ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry

“…Thus, it is feasible to regard the ratio of individual element signal to the sum signal of all the elements as the approximate molar composition. The concentration of each element can be semi-quantitatively calculated respectively without porcelain standards, which is vital for porcelain analysis since its standards are difficult to acquire [48]. The detail of the calculation of the elemental concentration is as follows [45,49]:…”

Improvements in the direct analysis of advanced materials using ICP-based measurement techniques

“…This is due to two factors: rstly, as opposed to wet-chemical digestion, only a minor dilution of the solid sample occurs. As mentioned in a review by Wang and Yang, 23 in some cases suspensions of up to 30% (w/v) can be analysed via ETV slurry analysis, whereas chemical digestion typically yields solutions of less than 1% (w/v). Secondly, the sample introduction efficiency is around 10 to 20% with ETV, as investigated by Peschel et al in a study using alumina and radioactive tracers.…”

“…[19][20][21][22] This review will focus on recent developments in the analysis of advanced materials using ETV and LA in combination with ICP-based detection techniques. Slurry analysis is only discussed in combination with ETV or LA since Wang and Yang 23 have recently reviewed conventional SN applications for advanced ceramics. The review is mainly based on the literature published in the last ten years (2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015), including novel and innovative concepts for sample analysis, such as dynamic etching procedures or LA of solids in liquid.…”

Raman study of Yuan Qinghua porcelain: the highlighting of dendritic CoFe2O4crystals in blue decorations

“…[3] Since the mid-20th century, many analytic methods, including μ-XRF, SEM-EDS, Raman spectrometry, XAFS, LA-ICP-MS, etc., were performed to study the blue decoration of Chinese Qinghua porcelain for discussing the provenance of cobalt sources and the chromogenic mechanisms. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] In a great degree, it has deepened the research of Chinese ancient Qinghua porcelain and answered many important archeological questions. The dark crystal spots, which commonly appeared in the blue decoration of some types of Chinese Qinghua porcelain, contained lots of information on the cobalt pigments and the manufacture of blue decorations.…”
