Spektroskopia emisyjna plazmy wykorzystuje trzy podstawowe typy instrumentów.
Sekwencyjne spektrometry emisyjne plazmy mierzą jedną linię emisyjną na raz, podczas gdy instrumenty wielokanałowe i z transformacją Fouriera mierzą jednocześnie wiele linii emisyjnych.
Spektrometry sekwencyjne zazwyczaj wykorzystują monochromator siatkowy, w którym siatka jest obracana w celu skupienia różnych długości fal na szczelinie wyjściowej.
Na przykład w spektrometrach slew-scan monochromator szybko obraca się do długości fali bliskiej jednej linii emisyjnej, a następnie obraca się małymi krokami w poprzek tej linii.
W przeciwieństwie do tego, skaningowe spektrometry echelle mają ruchomą rurkę fotopowielacza za płytą aperturową, z siatką echelle rozpraszającą długości fal w szerokim zakresie, który można wykryć jedna szczelina na raz.
Niektóre instrumenty wielokanałowe wykorzystują polichromator siatkowy do jednoczesnego pomiaru wielu linii emisyjnych z lampami fotopowielacza umieszczonymi za stałymi szczelinami wyjściowymi.
Inne instrumenty wielokanałowe wykorzystują spektrografy do jednoczesnych pomiarów, wykorzystując jako przetworniki dwuwymiarowe urządzenia do wstrzykiwania ładunku lub urządzenia ze sprzężeniem ładunku.
Chociaż spektrometry z transformacją Fouriera oferują szeroki zakres długości fal, nie są szeroko stosowane w AES ze względu na ich różne ograniczenia.

Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Instrumentation

Plazma sprzężona indukcyjnie (ICP) to powszechne źródło plazmy stosowane w spektroskopii emisyjnej atomowej (AES), technice, która wykrywa i analizuje różne pierwiastki w próbce. Ta metoda jest często nazywana spektroskopią emisyjną atomową z indukcyjnie sprzężoną plazmą (ICP-AES).

 Istnieją trzy główne typy instrumentów do spektroskopii emisyjnej atomowej z indukcyjnie sprzężoną plazmą (ICP-AES): sekwencyjne, symultaniczne wielokanałowe i instrumenty z transformacją Fouriera, przy czym te ostatnie są używane rzadziej. Sekwencyjna ICP-AES analizuje każdy pierwiastek indywidualnie, przy czym urządzenie jest zaprogramowane tak, aby przechodzić od linii jednego pierwiastka do drugiego, zatrzymując się na kilka sekund przy każdej, aby dokładnie zmierzyć intensywność linii. Z drugiej strony, instrumenty wielokanałowe są zaprojektowane do pomiaru intensywności linii emisyjnych dla wielu pierwiastków jednocześnie lub prawie jednocześnie. Chociaż urządzenia sekwencyjne są bardziej proste, wymagają więcej czasu i zużycia próbek, co czyni je droższymi w dłuższej perspektywie.

 Sekwencyjne i wielokanałowe spektrometry emisyjne mogą wykorzystywać klasyczny spektrometr kratowy lub spektrometr echelle. Monochromatory kratowe, często stosowane w urządzeniach sekwencyjnych, wykorzystują kratę holograficzną z 2400 lub 3600 rowkami na milimetr. Krata jest obracana za pomocą sterowanego cyfrowo silnika krokowego, aby skupić różne długości fal sekwencyjnie i precyzyjnie na szczelinie wyjściowej. Spektrometry typu slew-scan to instrumenty sekwencyjne, które skanują bardzo szybko do długości fali bliskiej linii interesującego pierwiastka, a następnie zwalniają, aby skanować linię małymi krokami. Ta metoda minimalizuje czas spędzony w nieużytecznych zakresach długości fal.

 Z drugiej strony, spektrometr echelle może działać jako urządzenie skanujące lub jednoczesny spektrometr wielokanałowy. Jednoczesne urządzenia wielokanałowe zawierają polichromator lub spektrograf. Polichromatory zawierają szereg fotopowielaczy do detekcji, ale spektrografy wykorzystują dwuwymiarowe urządzenia do wstrzykiwania ładunku (CID) lub urządzenia sprzężone ładunkowo (CCD) jako przetworniki. W niektórych wielokanałowych spektrometrach emisyjnych fotopowielacze są umieszczone za stałymi szczelinami wzdłuż krzywej ogniskowej kratowego polichromatora.

 Chociaż nie są szeroko stosowane w AES, spektrometry z transformacją Fouriera oferują korzyści, takie jak szeroki zakres pokrycia długości fali, szybkość, wysoka rozdzielczość, bardzo dokładne pomiary długości fali, duży zakres dynamiki, kompaktowy rozmiar i duża przepustowość optyczna. Ogólnie rzecz biorąc, instrumenty AES zapewniają różne możliwości, od sekwencyjnego skanowania po jednoczesną detekcję wielokanałową i analizę transformacji Fouriera, umożliwiając badaczom i analitykom wybór najbardziej odpowiedniego podejścia do ich konkretnych potrzeb analitycznych.

icp-aes instrument types and detection

Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, or ICP-AES, uses an inductively coupled plasma to detect and analyze elements in a sample. The method measures the light given off by atoms, which helps identify and compare different elements. It is a common approach in atomic emission spectroscopy.

ICP-AES instruments are built in three main forms: sequential, simultaneous multichannel, and Fourier transform instruments. Fourier transform designs are less commonly used, but they are part of the instrument family. Each type handles wavelengths and element signals in a different way.

Sequential ICP-AES measures elements one at a time. The instrument moves from one element line to another and pauses for a few seconds at each point so it can measure line intensity well. These instruments are simpler, but they take more time and use more sample, so they can cost more over time.

Multichannel instruments measure emission lines for several elements at the same time, or nearly at the same time. Sequential and multichannel emission spectrometers can use either a classical grating spectrometer or an echelle spectrometer. In many sequential instruments, a grating monochromator uses a holographic grating with 2400 or 3600 grooves per millimeter, and a digitally controlled stepper motor rotates the grating to send different wavelengths to the exit slit.

Some sequential systems are slew-scan spectrometers. They move quickly to a wavelength near the line of interest and then slow down to scan across the line in small steps. This reduces time spent in wavelength regions that do not help the measurement.

An echelle spectrometer can work as a scanning instrument or as a simultaneous multichannel spectrometer. Simultaneous multichannel instruments may use a polychromator or a spectrograph. Polychromators use a series of photomultiplier tubes, while spectrographs use two-dimensional charge-injection devices, or CIDs, and charge-coupled devices, or CCDs, as transducers.

In some multichannel emission spectrometers, photomultipliers sit behind fixed slits along the focal curve of a grating polychromator. Fourier transform spectrometers are not widely used in AES, but they offer wide wavelength coverage, speed, high resolution, accurate wavelength measurements, a large dynamic range, compact size, and high optical throughput. These instrument choices let analysts match the system to the needs of a specific sample and measurement.

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 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...

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...

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 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...
