class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy is an emission spectrophotometric technique that takes advantage of the fact that excited electrons emit energy at a specific wavelength when they return to their ground state after being excited by high-temperature&nbsp;Argon Plasma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The temperature in plasma-based systems is significantly higher (10,000 K for Ar ICP), resulting in more effective excitation of atoms (usually greater than 90%) of around 60 elements, including several nonmetals. Because the extreme heat prevents polyatomic species from forming, the detection limits for several elements are increased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The extreme heat of the plasma excites and, in many circumstances, ionizes atoms, and the emission of a photon occurs via resonance fluorescence (normal valance electron relaxation by photon emission). While plasma-based systems reduce many difficulties, they do not eliminate all interferences caused by the excitation and subsequent emission of spectral lines for each element in the sample, as well as the Ar injected to assist plasma production. The spectral overlap caused by these potential emissions is eliminated in current instruments using specialized sequential monochromators When compared to FAAS\/FAES, ICP-AES has higher element selectivity, higher sensitivity, a larger dynamic range (particularly when compared to FAAS, which is limited by Beer&#8217;s law), lower detection limits, multi-element detection, and less matrix interferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy uses spectrometers that have a high throughput and can produce several reportable results in a single run. ICP-AES applies to practically every element, except for halogens and inert gases, and is particularly effective for refractory elements such as silicon, aluminum, barium, and others that perform poorly in flame AA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"principle-of-inductively-coupled-plasma-atomic-emission-spectroscopy\"><\/span><strong>Principle of Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An ICP source is made up of a flowing stream of argon gas that has been ionized by a radio frequency field. A water-cooled coil enclosing a quartz torch that maintains and restricts the plasma inductively couples this field to the ionized gas. In an appropriate nebulizer and spray chamber, a sample aerosol is created and transported into the plasma via a tube situated within the torch. The sample aerosol is directed into the ICP, where the constituent atoms are heated to temperatures ranging from 5000 to 10000oK. Because of the high temperature, molecules almost completely dissociate, resulting in a significant reduction in chemical interferences. The high temperature of the plasma efficiently stimulates atomic emission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One or more optical spectrometers record the radiation released by the excited atoms, and when calibrated against standards, the approach offers a quantitative study of the original sample.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary feature of this process is that each element emits energy at certain wavelengths unique to its atomic nature. Each element has a different energy transfer for electrons when they return to their ground state because it depends on the electrical configuration of the orbital. The\u00a0energy transfer is inversely proportional to the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation.\u00a0Although each element emits energy at several wavelengths, the inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy technique typically selects a single wavelength for a given element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The amount (concentration) of that element in the sample being analyzed determines the intensity of the radiation emitted at the specified wavelength. Thus, by knowing which wavelengths are emitted by a sample and the intensities of those wavelengths, the analyst can qualitatively and quantitatively identify the elements in the provided sample in comparison to a reference standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"instrumentation-of-inductively-coupled-plasma-atomic-emission-spectroscopy\"><\/span><strong>Instrumentation of Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"sample-introduction\"><\/span><strong>Sample introduction<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy has successfully introduced all three states (solid, liquid, and gas).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Although both aqueous and nonaqueous solvents have been used, cations in solution are the most typically studied sample. A nebulizer is used to transform a liquid stream into an aerosol with particles 1-10 m in diameter for solutions. Direct liquid injection into the plasma would either extinguish&nbsp;the plasma or result in inappropriate atom desolvation, which would reduce the effectiveness of excitation and emission. In ICP, nebulizers are the most often utilized devices for introducing solution samples. The liquid sample is turned into an aerosol and transferred to the plasma using a nebulizer. Different nebulizers used for the sample introduction are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pneumatic nebulizers<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p> Pneumatic nebulizers are the most often used form of nebulizer today. The flow of a nebulizing gas draws the sample solution via a capillary (the so-called Bernoulli effect). The spray chamber produces an&nbsp;aerosol that is divided by size, with smaller drops being delivered to the plasma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Frit nebulizer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The sample solution is pushed to the frit membrane, which is constructed of a porous man-made substance that resembles coral in texture. Argon permeates the membrane, causing the sample to form an aerosol spray. Frit nebulizers can achieve efficiencies of up to 90% when the excess sample is drained. A wash solution input is included in the system to clean the frit membrane and prevent memory effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ultrasonic nebulizer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A piezoelectric crystal vibrates at ultrasonic frequencies (50 kHz to 4 MHZ) in this device, and the sample is pushed to the crystal via a tiny plastic tube. The crystal vibrations force the droplets to split up into smaller particles, which are then transferred to the plasma. Larger drops of aerosol are drained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hydride generation<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>For some elements, hydride generation is a particularly successful sample introduction approach such as arsenic, bismuth, germanium, lead, antimony, selenium, tin, and tellurium<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this procedure, the sample is dissolved in a dilute acid solution and combined with a reducing agent, often a sodium borohydride solution in a dilute sodium hydroxide solution. The reaction of sodium borohydride with acid results in the production of hydrogen.&nbsp;The hydrogen subsequently reduces the metal ions in the analyte to hydrides. The following are some of the benefits of the Hydride generation technique:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>physical separation of the analyte from potential matrix interfering concomitants,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>higher efficiency than traditional pneumatic nebulization,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ease of automation when used with flow injection techniques.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"985\" height=\"528\" src=\"https:\/\/thechemistrynotes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48967\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thechemistrynotes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image.png 985w, https:\/\/thechemistrynotes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/thechemistrynotes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image-768x412.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 985px) 100vw, 985px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"plasma\"><\/span><strong>Plasma<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The majority of Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy uses argon as the plasma gas.

The sample is delivered into the argon stream as a liquid aerosol or vapor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;This step allows the solvent to evaporate.
