Better quality control for alloy manufacturing and sorting of post-consumer scraps relies heavily on the accurate determination of their chemical composition. In recent decades, analytical techniques, such as X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), and spark optical emission spectroscopy (spark-OES), found widespread use in the metal industry, though only a few studies were published about the comparison of these techniques for commercially available alloys. Hence, we conducted a study on the evaluation of four analytical techniques (energy-dispersive XRF, wavelength-dispersive XRF, LIBS, and spark-OES) for the determination of metal sample composition. It focuses on the quantitative analysis of nine commercial alloys, representing the three most important alloy classes: copper, aluminum, and steel. First, spark-OES is proven to serve as a validation technique in the use of certified alloy reference samples. Following an examination of the lateral homogeneity by XRF, the results of the techniques are compared, and reasons for deviations are discussed. Finally, a more general evaluation of each technique with its capabilities and limitations is given, taking operation-relevant parameters, such as measurement speed and calibration effort, into account. This study shall serve as a guide for the routine use of these methods in metal producing and recycling industries.

The MICAP is a microwave driven plasma source employing nitrogen as the plasma gas. In this work we compare LODs and LOQs obtained in axial viewing with those obtained by ICP-OES and evaluate the effect of air instead of nitrogen as the plasma gas.

Optical Emission Spectrometer

In a study of an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer, data from an early commercially available instrument are compared with data from the same instrument after modifications to correct observed inadequacies. Results show negligible changes in powers of detection but considerable reductions in scattered light interferences following the installation of a holographic grating.

Abstract Although the children malnutrition in Madagascar and the environmental pollution of this country has been widely discussed, there is no research on the differences in toxic elements accumulation in human body in dependence on nutritional status of Malagasy. Nine elements concentration (Al, As, Cd, Cr, Hg, Ni, Pb, Sn and Sb) was determined in scalp hair of 103 schoolgirls (8–15 years old), living in two areas: urban - close to Antananarivo (UR) and rural Berevo region (RU). Samples were analyzed by an inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometer. The nutritional status was evaluated by Cole’s Index. Underweight was related to higher accumulation of Al, Cd, and Cr in the hair girls, and more common among girls living in RU than UR region (42% vs 28%). Two-factor analysis of variance showed differences in the Al and Cr content in the girls’ hair depending both on their place of residence and nutritional status. This indicates additional consequence of malnutrition to the girls development and health.
