Sealed inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry: instrumentation development

Abstract

Instrumentation for the analytical use of a sealed and static inductively coupled plasma atomic emission system is described for the analysis of permanent and reactive gases. Discharge container construction, heat dissipation from sealed containers and the connection of the discharge container to a stainless-steel gas handling system for the introduction of standard gas mixtures are discussed. The system is applied to the determination of arsine in a gas stream.
