Introduction:
Electrons of an atom absorb energy and jump to higher energy levelsWhen they return to normal states, they emit characteristic photons of
energy.
By isolating these photon wavelengths, we can determine the types andconcentrations of the elements present.

Atomic Absorption
Mass Spectrometry
Atomic Emission
Light of specific characteristic wavelength is absorbed by promoting an electron to a higher energy level (excitation)Light absorption is proportional toelemental concentration
Light of specific wavelengthfrom Hollow Cathode Lamp

Atomisation / Ionisation
In plasma, sample moves through several zones
Preheating zone (PHZ): temp = 8000 K: Desolvation/evaporation
Initial radiation zone (IRZ): 6500-7500 K: Vaporisation, Atomisation
Normal analytical zone (NAZ): 6000-6500 K: Ionisation

Viewing position of plasma
• The plasma generated in an ICP can be viewed by the spectrometer,side-on or end-on. These viewing positions are called radial and axial viewing, respectively
Axial: direct view into plasma, lower sensitivity, shifts detection range lower.
Radial: light emitted from analyte has to pass only a short distance in plasma
i.e. less chance of self absorption and better for concentrated samples.

• Diffraction Grating is a mirrored surface that has closely spaced lines ruled or etched onto its surface.
• The continuum light that hits the grating will be diffracted at an angle that is dependent upon the wavelength. nλ = 2dsinθ Bragg's Law
• Most spectrometers use diffraction gratings to achieve dispersion.

Elements by ICP-OES
Different elements have different emission intensities.e.g. Alkalis (Na, K, Rb, Cs) are weakly emitting. Alkaline Earths (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba ) are strongly emitting.

Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry
Mass spectrometry method:
Detects ions distinguished by their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z value)Based on ions moving under influence of electrical or magnetic fieldMass analysers generally require operation under vacuum, to avoid ions colliding with other particles
![Page 19: Nima yadollahi Postgraduate Student (MSc) Materials Science Engineering Corrosion & Protection of materials ICP OES/MS ICP OES/MS Inductively Coupled Plasma](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022102722/551a39325503463e778b4c2c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
I CP-MS – I nterface (Sampler and Skimmer Cones)
I ons extracted f rom atmospheric pressure through a cooled metal sampler cone with an orifi ce (< 1 mm diameter) to a zone of silence at ~2 Torr. Then the ions extracted through a second cone called a skimmer (with an orifi ce diameter < 0.9 mm) and go to a region of ion optics at 1 Torr.
The role of the interf ace is to extract representative analyte ions f rom I CP, which are at atmospheric pressure and transf er them effi ciently to detector regions
(10-5 Torr). I CP-MS interf ace consists of several step-down vacuum stages.

1. Four short, parallel metal rods are arranged symmetrically around the ion beam.
2. DC and AC electrical potential is applied to the rods with opposite rods having a net negative or positive potential.
3. The combined field causes the ions to oscillate about their central axis.
4. Only those isotopes with certain mass to charge ratio can pass through the array without being removed.m/e = H2 r2 / 2v

Analysis using ICP-MS – interferences
Isobaric Interference“Isobaric overlaps” produced by different isotopes of other elements in the sample that create spectral interferences at the same mass as the analyte. Matrix effectThe signal of the analyte suppressed by the matrix component. There are basically two types of matrix induced interferences.a. Sample transport effectb. Impact on ionization
temperature of the plasma
Polyatomic interference
Interferences arising from the component of the plasma and the sample matrix. For example, Cl- in sample matrix interferes with 75As by 40Ar35Cl+

Polyatomic interference can be eliminated by DRC method.
DRC is a quadrupole placed inside an enclosed reaction chamber. This enclosed quadrupole is positioned between the ion optics and the analyzer quadrupole. A reaction gas such as NH3, CH4, H2 and He2 is used to pressurize the reaction chamber to eliminate the interference by either to:
(i) convert interfering ions into new polyatomic species which no longer interfere; or (ii) convert the analyte ion to a new polyatomic species at a new m/z ratio which is not
interfered

Principles of Octopole Reaction System
(ORS) The stainless steel ORS cell, which can be pressurized with a gas, typically hydrogen or helium, is positioned between the ion lens assembly and the quadrupole mass filter. As analyte ions enter the cell, they interact with the gas, resulting in the reduction of the molecular interference .
Hydrogen mode:Charge transfer: Ar+ + H2 H2
+ + ArProton transfer: ArH+ + H2 H3
+ + Ar
Helium mode:
CID: When the collision energy between the He atom and polyatomic ion is significantly above the dissociation energy of the polyatomic ion, fragmentation occurs.
ED: the larger polyatomic species collide more frequently with the cell gas, so they lose more energy than the smaller analyte species. The cell acts as a molecular filter by resolving low energy (polyatomic) and higher energy (analyte) ions from each other in the ion beam.
