Course objectives
The aim of the course is to gain knowledge in the field of elemental analysis using plasma spectrometry with optical and mass detection. Sub-objectives are the acquisition of knowledge in the following areas: Plasma as a tool for elemental analysis in conjunction with optical emission spectrometry and mass spectrometry. Physical basics of elementary optical and mass spectrometry. Instrumentation. Methodology, applications in the analysis of real samples. Combination of ICP spectrometry with other analytical techniques (separation methods, laser ablation).
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student will be able to: - from the point of view of analytical geochemist to understand the processes of atomization, excitation and ionization of a sample in a plasma discharge as a source for elemental chemical analysis - understand the function of instrumentation for optical and mass spectrometry with a plasma source and understand the relationship between the properties of the sample, its introduction into the plasma, the process of generating the analytical signal (ionic, photon), its isolation and detection, possible interferences and their compensation and correction.
Syllabus
  • 1. Electromagnetic radiation, interaction of radiation with matter, Planck's law of radiation, absorption and emission of radiation, thermal, electron and radiant excitation, Boltzmann's law, Sah equation and ionization, Kirchhoff's law, Bouguer-Lambert-Beer's law, energetic and photometric quantities, temperature . 2. Dispersion elements: prisms, gratings, interferometers. 3, UV-Vis monochromators and polychromators. 4. Mass analyzers. 5. UV-Vis radiation detectors. 6. Ion detectors. 7. Inductively coupled plasma as a source for emission spectrometry, analytical properties. 8. Inductively coupled plasma for mass spectrometry, analytical properties. 9.
