Abstract
An ICP(Inductively Coupled Plasma) emission spectrometer was developed with an axially viewed ICP source incorporated by a 5-turned induction coil and a torch, outer quartz tube of which was 50 mm longer than that used in conventional ICP/AES(Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry). The Optimization of the system has been performed in terms of the determination of signal-to-noise ratio and background intensity at various rf powers, sample flow rates, argon gas flow rates and cut-off gas flow rates. The spectro-analytical characteristics of the spectrum obtained between 200 and 500 nm was revealed to be similar compared with a vertically viewed ICP source. The detection limit of Pb(Ⅱ) at 220.35 nm was 11 ppb which was 5 times lower than that obtained with a vertically viewed ICP source.
유도코일을 5회 감고, 외측 석영관 길이를 일반적인 ICP(Inductively Coupled Plasma) 토오치에서 보다 50 mm 더 길게 제작한 수평형 ICP 방출원을 제작한 후, ICP 방출분광분석기를 구성하였다. 신호대 잡음비 및 바탕선의 세기를 고주파 출력, 시료 유량, 알곤가스 유량 그리고 차단가스 유량변화에 대하여 측정하고 최적조건을 구했다. 이들 조건에서,수직형 플라스마와 비교하여 분광분석학적으로 비슷한 정도의 특징을 가진 바탕선 스펙트럼을 파장범위 200~500 nm에서 얻었다. 납(II), 220.35 nm의 방출선에서 검출한계가 11 ppb로 산출되었으며, 수직형과 비교하여 약 5배 낮은 값을 보였다.
