Abstract:
Direct elemental analysis of organic solvents by an ICP-OES can be challenging for several reasons ranging from plasma stability, carbon deposition on the injector and torch, and complex spectral interferences from carbon emission lines. However, the analysis of neat organic solvents in the Petrochemical, Lithium Ion Battery, and Food Industry is common as it is an alternative to the time-consuming digestion/ashing methods, which may have significant dilution factors that elevate the detection limits. This talk will discuss how a Smart ICP-OES like the Agilent 5800/5900 instruments can easily overcome these issues through selection of proper sample introduction system, optimized method parameters, and intelligent background and interference correction techniques.
