誘導結合プラズマ原子発光分光法：原理

Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Principle

誘導結合プラズマ（ICP）は、原子発光分光法（AES）で最も広く使用されているプラ​​ズマ源であり、誘導結合プラズマ発光分光法（ICP-OES）とも呼ばれます。ICP源、またはトーチは、アルゴンガスが流れる3つの同心石英管で構成されています。テスラコイルからの火花がアルゴンのイオン化を開始し、高温プラズマを生成します。

生成されたイオンと電子は、無線周波数ジェネレータで駆動される水冷誘導コイルによって生成される変動磁場と相互作用します。この相互作用により抵抗加熱が起こり、高温プラズマが形成され、元素分析に最適な環境が提供されます。ICP-AESへのサンプル導入は、同心ガラスネブライザーや電熱蒸発などのさまざまな方法で実現できます。前者では、サンプルは高速アルゴンガスの助けを借りてベルヌーイ効果によって輸送され、プラズマに入る微細な液滴を形成します。後者では、サンプルは炉で気化され、その後アルゴン流によってプラズマに導入されます。

ICP 分光計の構成には、放射状または軸方向観観察が含まれます。水平方向由来で軸方向に観察されるプラズマは、高感度分析に最適です。独自の冷却コーンインターフェイス (CCI) を備えており、光学系が低温のプラズマ テールを考慮する必要がないため、干渉が減り、システムの高溶解固形物に対する耐性が向上します。垂直方向の放射状ビューイングプラズマは、オイル、有機溶剤、地質学/金属分解物、高溶解固形物 (TDS) 溶液の分析など、難しいアプリケーションに適しています。

等温線は、サンプル原子がプラズマの滞留時間中に観測点に到達するまでの温度範囲を示します。これにより、より完全な原子化と化学干渉の減少が実現します。 AES の ICP ソースには、化学的に不活性な原子化、均一な温度分布、広範囲の濃度にわたる直線的な較正曲線、および大幅なイオン化など、数多くの利点があり、ICP-MS アプリケーションに最適です。

icp-aes torch and sample analysis

Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy uses a plasma torch to analyze elements in a sample. This method is also called inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, or ICP-OES. It is widely used because the plasma creates a strong environment for elemental analysis.

The ICP source, or torch, contains three concentric quartz tubes. Argon gas flows through the tubes. A spark from a Tesla coil starts the ionization of argon and creates a high-temperature plasma. The charged particles then interact with the changing magnetic field from a water-cooled induction coil powered by a radio-frequency generator. This interaction produces ohmic heating, which helps keep the plasma hot.

Samples can enter the plasma in more than one way. A concentric glass nebulizer uses high-velocity argon gas and the Bernoulli effect to carry the sample as fine droplets. Another method is electrothermal vaporization, where the sample is first vaporized in a furnace and then sent into the plasma with argon gas.

ICP spectrometers can use radial or axial viewing. Horizontally oriented, axially viewed plasma is better for high-sensitivity work. It uses a cooled cone interface, or CCI, to keep the optics from using the cooler tail of the plasma. This reduces interference and helps the system handle samples with high dissolved solids. Vertically oriented, radially viewed plasma is useful for difficult samples such as oils, organic solvents, geological or metal digests, and solutions with high total dissolved solids, or TDS.

Isothermal contours show the temperature range that sample atoms experience while they stay in the plasma before reaching the observation point. This helps produce more complete atomization and fewer chemical interferences. The ICP source also offers chemically inert atomization, a uniform temperature distribution, linear calibration curves over a wide range of concentrations, and strong ionization. These features make ICP a useful source for ICP-MS applications as well.

Element Analysis with Atomic Light Spectra

Atomic spectroscopy is used to identify and measure elements by their light signals. It supports both qualitative analysis, which tells what is present, and quantitative analysis, which tells how much is present. The optical methods in this group are atomic absorption spectroscopy, atomic emission spectroscopy, and atomic fluorescence spectroscopy. These methods begin with atomization. In this step, a solid, liquid, or solution sample is changed into gas-phase atoms and ions. Once the sample...

How Heat Changes Atomic Spectra

Heat changes atomic spectra by affecting atomization, excitation, ionization, and line shape. In atomic spectroscopy, atomization means converting a sample into gas-phase atoms and ions. The flame temperature needed for this step changes how efficiently the method works and shifts the balance between excited and ground-state atoms. At thermal equilibrium, the relative numbers of excited and ground-state atoms can be estimated with the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. A small temperature rise...

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy for Trace Metals

Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) measures trace metals by tracking how atoms absorb electromagnetic radiation (EMR). The absorbed light makes atoms move to a higher-energy orbit. In AAS, the key step is atomization, which converts the sample into gas-phase atoms. A flame or a furnace is typically used for this step. Inside the flame, some atoms become thermally excited. Most stay in the ground state, which is the lowest-energy state. These ground-state gas-phase atoms absorb EMR only when...

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Key Parts

Atomic absorption spectrophotometry uses a set of key parts to measure light absorbed by atoms. The main components are a radiation source, an atomizer, a monochromator, and a detector. Each part has a specific job in the instrument. The radiation source is usually a hollow-cathode lamp, or HCL, or an electrodeless-discharge lamp, or EDL. Both produce a narrow emission line at the needed wavelength. Some instruments instead use continuum sources with high-resolution monochromators to narrow...

Choosing Light Sources for AAS Measurements

Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) uses a light source that emits a very narrow range of wavelengths. This is needed because the source must match the absorption behavior of the analyte atom. The choice of source also depends on giving a precise, intense emission at the right wavelength for accurate detection. Two common line sources in AAS are hollow-cathode lamps (HCLs) and electrodeless-discharge lamps (EDLs). These lamps are selected based on the element being analyzed and the level of...

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Sample Atomization

Atomic absorption spectroscopy uses sample atomization to turn a liquid specimen into free atoms for analysis. The two main approaches are flame atomization and electrothermal atomization. Both methods prepare the sample so its atoms can be measured by the instrument. Flame atomization uses a nebulizer and spray chamber to mix the sample with a fuel-oxidant mixture. This creates a fine aerosol mist that enters the burner. The fuel and oxidant are usually close to a stoichiometric ratio, but a...

Correcting Errors in Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy

Atomic absorption spectroscopy interference can create systematic error by making the analytical signal or the background look stronger or weaker than it should be. In atomic absorption measurements, these errors are usually grouped as spectral interference, chemical interference, and physical interference. Spectral interference happens when signals from other elements or molecules overlap with the analyte signal, the substance being measured. This overlap can falsely raise or hide the analyte...

AAS Sample Prep and Calibration

Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) depends on careful sample preparation and calibration. Samples must be turned into clear solutions before measurement. That often means extra treatment to dissolve materials such as soils, animal tissues, and minerals. Common sample prep methods include hot mineral acids, wet ashing, combustion in closed containers, high-temperature ashing, and fusion with reagents. These steps help make the sample suitable for AAS analysis. Solutions that contain organic...

atomic emission spectroscopy: overview

Atomic Emission Spectroscopy for Element Analysis

Atomic emission spectroscopy is used to identify the elements in a sample by measuring the light they emit. Atoms are first excited to higher energy levels by thermal energy from hot sources such as plasma, arcs, or sparks. When they fall back to lower energy levels, they give off light at specific wavelengths. Each element produces its own set of lines, so the emission spectrum can show both what is present and how much is there. AES instruments are similar to atomic absorption spectrometers,...

AES Sample Handling and Detection

Atomic emission spectrometry (AES) uses sample handling, atomization, and detection parts to measure emitted light from atoms and ions. The sample must first be changed into a gas-phase form so it can produce a measurable signal. AES uses two main atomizer types. Continuous atomizers, such as flames and plasmas, feed the sample in a steady stream. Discrete atomizers add one sample at a time with syringes or autosamplers. The electrothermal atomizer is the most common discrete type. Many...

Reducing Interference in AES Signals

Atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) can produce interfering signals when atoms and molecules in a flame or plasma emit overlapping light. High-temperature atomizers excite many species at once, including oxides, hydroxides, and flame combustion products. These extra emissions can make the analyte signal harder to read. Spectral interference happens when emission lines or bands overlap. One way to reduce it is to improve instrument resolution. Another is to choose a different emission line for...

Plasma Sources in Atomic Emission Spectroscopy

Atomic emission spectroscopy uses plasma sources to identify elements by their light. The method creates abundant spectra with characteristic emission lines. Inductively coupled plasma, or ICP, is especially useful because it gives strong quantitative data. It works well under stable conditions, with low noise, low background, and few interferences. Newer air-operated microwave sources are also being studied. These sources may be more cost-effective than conventional ICP systems. Atomic...

atomic fluorescence spectroscopy

Measuring Elements by Atomic Fluorescence

Atomic fluorescence spectroscopy measures elements by detecting the light atoms give off after they are excited by electromagnetic radiation. The atoms are first placed in a flame, furnace, or plasma. They absorb energy, become excited, and then release that energy as they return to their original state. The emitted light is called fluorescence. The fluorescence is observed at a right angle to the incoming beam. This setup helps separate the emitted light from the light used to excite the...

flame photometry: overview

Flame Emission Spectrometry Basics

Flame emission spectrometry uses a flame to excite elements in a sample so their light can be measured. It is also called flame photometry. The method can be used for both qualitative and quantitative analysis of elements. The idea became established in the early 1860s when Kirchhoff and Bunsen showed that specific elements give off characteristic radiation in a flame. The first instrument for this purpose measured sodium in plant ash with a Bunsen flame. A major problem was how to add the...

flame photometry: lab

Flame Photometry and Metal Detection

Flame photometry is a method for detecting metals by measuring the light they emit in a flame. A solution such as potassium chloride is aspirated into the flame. The solvent evaporates first. The remaining salt becomes dehydrated and then dissociates into free gaseous atoms in the ground state. Some of these atoms absorb energy from the flame and move to an excited state. When they return to the ground state, they emit photons at characteristic wavelengths. These emissions are very narrow...
