The paper discusses the possibilities and limitations of the method of mass spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma on the example of elemental analysis of natural and drinking waters, soils and grounds. It is shown that the combination of this method with the simpler atomic emission method makes it possible to expand the range of determined elements, simplify the mass-spectral analysis and increase its reliability. It is shown that the use of the ICP-MS method in the analysis of various objects makes it possible to determine the majority of elements with extremely low detection limits. The reason for the manifestation of matrix effects is the positive space charge formed between the interface and the extractor, the composition of which is determined by the composition of singly charged argon ions. The increase in the concentration of ions in this region is the appearance of a matrix element, which facilitates the scattering of ions from this region. It was found that the heavier the ions of the matrix element, the more the space charge density increases and the scattering occurs. A serious limitation of the method is associated with interferences due to the presence of a certain amount of two and three-charged ions in the plasma. These ions, which have approximately the same mass as the isotopes of the element being determined, are formed as a result of various plasma-chemical reactions and interfere with the determination.

<p></p><p>Eu has only two isotopes (151Eu and 153 Eu). Eu and Gd are one of the rare earth elements that are very difficult to completely separate from each other. Eu isotope ratio can be determined by MC-ICP-MS using internal Sm or Gd spikes to correct for mass discrimination. NIST3117a ultrapure chemical reagent shows almost no Eu isotope fractionation regardless of the kind of normalization isotope pair. However, Eu isotope ratio in the silicate rocks was effected by Gd matrix during MC-ICP-MS measurement if a trace amount of Gd impurity remains in the purified Eu fraction. In this report, we tried to determine optimizing conditions for precise and accurate Europium isotope ratio measurements in geological samples using MC-ICP-MS. The pure Eu fraction with almost no Gd matrix separated from geological samples and NIST3117a ultrapure chemical reagent show almost same degree of Eu isotope fractionation regardless of the kind of normalization isotope pair. However, Eu isotope ratio in the silicate rocks was effected by Gd matrix during MC-ICP-MS measurement using if 154 Gd interference relative to 154 Sm as internal standard is more than ca. 0.1%. Particularly, highly fractionated granite and high silica volcanic rock with extremely low Eu concentration compared to Gd require high – purity Eu separation with a high recovery rate to obtain the true value of the Eu isotope fractionation in the geological rocks. <br></p><br><p></p>
