ICP ATOMIC EMISSION SPECTROSCOPY Analysis of Metals in 30 g/l Barium Nitrate Nathalie Le CorreHORIBA Scientific Longjumeau, France Keywords: chemicals, inorganic 1 Introduction A sample with 30 g/L barium nitrate was pre-sented to this laboratory for trace determina-tion. As there was only one sample to be ana-lyzed, which had a complex matrix, the standardaddition method was used for analysis. 2 Principle 2.1 Technique used The elemental analysis of a 30 g/L BariumNitrate solution was undertaken by InductivelyCoupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry(ICP-AES). The sample is nebulized then trans-ferred to an argon plasma. It is decomposed,atomized and ionized whereby the atoms andions are excited. We measure the intensity ofthe light emitted when the atoms or ions returnto lower levels of energy. Each element emitslight at characteristic wavelengths and theselines can be used for quantitative analysis aftera calibration. 2.2 Wavelength choice The choice of the wavelength in a given matrixcan be made using the "profile"function, or byusing Win-IMAGE, which is rapid semi-quantita-tive analysis mode using multiple wavelengths.The principle is the same in either case: recordthe scans of analytes at low concentration, andof the matrix. By superimposing the spectra, wesee possible interferences. 2.3 Limits of detection estimation The limits of detection are calculated using thefollowing formula: With: LOD = limits of detection, k=3 for the normal 3-sigma values, BEC= Background equivalent concentration, RSDo = relative standard deviation of the blank. To calculate the LOD, a calibration curve is con-structed using two points, 0 ppm and 5 ppm, orsome concentration where the calibration is lin-ear; this gives the BEC. The RSDo is evaluatedby running the blank ten times. 3 Sample preparation 3.0068 g of sample was weighed and dissolvedwith 5 mL 69% HNO? and diluted to 100 mLusing deionized water. Two spiked samples were prepared for the stan-dard addition method. Addition 1: 0.1 mL of standard "A" with 25 mL ofBa(HNO3)2. Addition 2: 0.2 mL of standard "A" with 25 mL ofBa(HNO3)2. Standard "A" contained: 2 g/L of S,. 0.25 g/L of Ca, Fe, Na. The concentrations of the spiked samples arelisted in the Table 1.

Table 5: Analytical conditions Element Slits Analysis Integration (pm) mode time (sec) All elements 20x15 Direct peaking 8 Na 20x80 Gaussian 0.5 The use of the parallel nebulizer and the largeinternal diameter (ID) of the injector tube enabledtrouble free analysis, even with the high dissolvedsalts. The larger the ID injector tube also ensures aminimization of the interferences. Due to the highdissolved salts, an initial conditioning of the spraychamber is advised for maximum stability. It isalso imperative to use matched standards or stan-dard addition because of the viscosity of solutionswith high dissolved solids. 7 Discussion 7.1 Limits of Detection The limits of detection were calculated using theformula in paragraph 2.3. They were calculated inug/kg in the solid sample.

The concentra-tions of the traces in the unknown are given by theintercept of their calibration curves. The resultsfor unknown are given in the table below.
