High purity molybdenum and its compounds are used for the synthesis of ionizing radiation detectors for search for dark matter and double beta decay. Properties of these detectors largely depend on their trace composition. The new mass-spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS) and electrothermal vaporization (ETV) method was developed for the analysis of high-purity molybdenum. The samples were introduced into the ICP using the ETV device. The vaporization curves of matrix element (molybdenum) and trace elements were studied in detail. The dependence of analytical signal and limits of detection (LODs) of analytes versus ETV-ICP-MS instrumental parameters (ICP power, transport flow, ion optics settings) was established. The proposed method of ETV-ICP-MS analysis allowed us to control the content of 28 trace elements in high-purity molybdenum with a purity of 6N (99.9999% wt.) and provided LODs from 0.3 to 200 ng g-1. Using of ETV for ICP-MS analysis of molybdenum led to decreasing of the LODs of trace elements from 3 to 200 times comparing with ICP-MS analysis with standard sample introduction system. The validation of proposed ETV-ICP-MS method was performed by spike experiment and by comparing the results of ETV-ICP-MS, ICP-MS, and atomic absorption spectrometry with electrothermal vaporization (GFAAS) analysis.

The purpose of this study was to characterize some types of biomass wastes resulted from different activities such as: agriculture, forestry and food industry using thermogravimetric and ICP-MS analyses. Also, it was optimized an ICP-MS method for the determination of As, Cd and Pb from biomass ash samples. The ICP-MS analysis revealed that the highest concentration of metals (As, Cd, Pb) was recorded in the wood waste ash sample, also the thermogravimetric analysis indicated that the highest amount of ash was obtained for the same sample (26.82%). The biomass wastes mentioned in this study are alternative recyclable materials, reusable as pellets and briquettes. Keywords: ash, biomass, ICP-MS, minor elements, TG

A laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (LA–ICP–MS) based method is proposed for the quantitative determination of the spatial distribution of metal nanoparticles (NPs) supported on planar substrates. The surface is sampled using tailored ablation patterns and the data are used to define three-dimensional functions describing the spatial distribution of NPs. The volume integrals of such interpolated surfaces are calibrated to obtain the mass distribution of Ag NPs by correlation with the total mass of metal as determined by metal extraction and ICP–MS analysis. Once this mass calibration is carried out on a sacrificial sample, quantifications can be performed over multiple samples by a simple micro-destructive LA–ICP–MS analysis without requiring the extraction/dissolution of metal NPs. The proposed approach is here tested using a model sample consisting of a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) disk decorated with silver NPs, achieving high spatial resolution over cm2-sized samples and very high sensitivity. The developed method is accordingly a useful analytical tool for applications requiring both the total mass and the spatial distribution of metal NPs to be determined without damaging the sample surface (e.g., composite functional materials and NPs, decorated catalysts or electrodic materials).
