Introduction Detection limits AAS vs ICP - …

1 The typical maximum temperature for an air/acetyleneflame is 2 300 C while for nitrous oxide acetylene, it is2 900 C. Temperatures as high as 10 000 K can bereached in an argon limitsThe comparison of Detection limits in table 1 highlightsthe following differences:(i)Furnace AA Detection limits are generally better inall cases where the element can be atomized.(ii) Detection limits for Group I elements ( Na, K)are generally better by flame AAS than by ICP.(iii) Detection limits for refractory elements ( B, Ti,V, Al) are better by ICP than by flame AAS.(iv) Non metals such as sulfur, nitrogen, carbon, andthe halogens ( I, Cl, Br) can only be determinedby it is possible to determine phosphorous by AAS,its Detection limit by ICP is more than three orders ofmagnitude Detection of non metals such as S, N andhalogens by ICP-ES can only be achieved if a vacuummonochromator, with purged transfer optics, is optics must be purged to exclude atmosphericoxygen and eliminating its can be measured at nm by purging themonochromator.

3 One technique used to eliminate backlash in the grating drive mechanism of ICP spectrometers is by scanning and measuring at the same time. This method of
