Plasma source mass spectrometric techniques and highly efficient sample introduction systems as tools for the ultratrace determination of PGE

  • Chapter
Anthropogenic Platinum-Group Element Emissions

Abstract

The driving forces for the continuously increasing application of plasma source-mass spectrometric techniques i.e. inductively coupled plasma quadrupole and sector field mass spectrometry (ICP-QMS and ICP-SFMS) for the determination of platinum group elements (PGE) are excellent sensitivity and high sample throughput. The first one gained importance since PGE are of interest now at sub ng/g-levels whereas the latter is necessary for reliable data out of detailed investigations in industrial, geological, biological/medical and environmental samples.
