3. measures the light emitted at element-specific
characteristic wavelengths from thermally
excited analyte ions .
light emitted is separated and measured in a
spectrometer, yielding an intensity
measurement that can be converted to an
elemental concentration by comparison with
calibration standards.
4. Mass spectrometry (MS)
2 type - determination for element
having unit PPB-PPT
Optical Emission Spectrometry
(OES)
- determination for element
having unit PPM-PPB
Gas used:
helium and argon
Calibration- Manganese
Radial – 10PPM
axial- 1PPM
14. 9. Spectrum
Selection of colour for each element.
Convert into energy Eo
Transfer into computer- calculate intensity,
log10 = 1/Eo
15. Can analyze 43 element in the periodic table
except for nitrogen and oxygen
Eg: Phosphorus P, Potassium K, Sodium Na,
Boron B, Calcium Ca, and etc.
Error of ICP : 0.05%

17. Calculation
Run standard
P, K, Mg, B
Plot graph.
From graph, calculate slope, m
Formula, y=mx + c
Calculate intensity
Calculate ppm, formula
PPM= (intensity-intercept)/slope
