The present study represents the determination of Ti and Cr in dry animal feeds using wet acid digestion and inductively coupled plasma–atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), in order to use these metals as digestibility markers. A radiofrequency power of 1350 W and a nebulizer argon flow of 0.8 L/min was selected. The limits of detection were between 11.4 and 16.1 μg/g for titanium and between 10.7 and 38.2 μg/g for chromium. The recovery values for the aqueous solutions were 89.5–103.9% (titanium) and 85.3–104.2% (chromium), with relative standard deviations (RSD%) under 2.1% and standard errors under 2.32%, demonstrating that the method offered good accuracy and repeatability. Six different samples of commercially available feedstuffs (two cat foods, two dog foods, and two poultry foods) were analyzed and the levels of investigated metals were found to be in the ranges of 0.10 g/kg and <LOD for chromium and titanium, respectively (dog foods); 0.10–0.18 g/kg, 0.70 g/kg for chromium and titanium, respectively (cat foods); and 0.07 g/kg, 0.82–1.35 g/kg for chromium and titanium, respectively (poultry foods).

A novel method for the determination of rhodium in rhodium-loaded carbon catalyst samples was established by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry after samples digested by microwave oven with aqua regia. Such experiment conditions were investigated as the influence of sample digestion methods, digestion time, digestion temperature and interfering ions on the determination. Under the optimized conditions, the limits of detection (LODs) of Rh for tested solutions were 9 ng mL-1. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) for Rh were 2.11 (CRh = 1 mg L-1, n = 7). The linear ranges of calibration graphs for Rh were 0 ~ 150.00 mg L-1. The proposed method was applied to determine the practical samples with good recoveries and satisfactory results.

In this paper, the contents of these elements including Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, Al, Cd, Pb, Ti and As were determined by ICP-AES technique, which elements originated from maca from different places. Detection limits ranged 0.0022 ug/ml-1 and 0.077ug/ml-1, the relative standard deviations for all these elements were lower than 2%, and recovery rates ranged 95.56% and 106.2%. The results showed that there were rich metal elements in maca from different places; contents of Fe and Al were highest; contents of Mn, Zn, Cu and Ti were moderately high, and contents of As, Cd and Pb were lowest. Futhermore, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn were essential to people’s health, and Al, Cd, As, Pb and Ti had potentially physiologically toxic. Finally, concentrations of elements within macafrom different places were different, which may have some relations with the environment where maca grew. As a result, the determining method which elements of maca. are determined by ICP-AES is rapid, accurate and convenient, and wild macamay contain toxic elements because of pollutional soil and environment, so macacultivated artificially can effectively reduce harmful elements.

Abstract A quick and simple method was developed to analyze various "fino" sherry wines for routine determination of Al, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, and Zn content. The analysis involved heating the wine sample in an oven at 80°C to evaporate the ethanol, followed by sequential determination of the elements by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry. The following metal concentrations (mg/L) were obtained: Al, 1.02-4.06; Ca, 85.00-150.00; Cu, 0.06-1.62; Fe, 2.19-4.91; K, 435.02-651.65; Mg, 79.1-108.57; Mn, 0.37-2.13; Na, 27.09-54.26; and Zn, 0.12-5.08. Mean recoveries of elements from fortified wines were 101.6% for Al, 103.6% for Ca, 97.4% for Cu, 100.3% for Fe, 100.7% for K, 103.6% for Mg, 99.1% for Mn, 105.7% for Na, and 99.99% for Zn. The estimated detection limits were 15.2 μg Al/L, 39.9 μg Ca/L, 20.1 μg Cu/L, 19.1 μg Fe/L, 116.4 μg K/L, 20.3 μg Mg/L, 20.2 μg Mn/L, 34.6 μg Na/L, and 25.4 μg Zn/L. The repeatability relative standard deviation ranged from 1.1 (Mg) to 5.3% (Na), and the reproducibility relative standard deviation ranged from 2.0 (Mg) to 9.3% (Al). The results were compared with those obtained y flame atomic absorption spectrometry and, for Al, by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. By the method for regression lines we demonstrated that no differences in concentrations were obtained for any of the elements assayed. The proposed method is rapid and simple, needs only a small amount of sample, and has acceptable analytical characteristics.

In this study, a method for the determination of trace elements in snacks using inductively coupled plasma–atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) is presented. The examined elements were Pb, Ni, Cr, Cu, Mg, Zn, Fe, Al, Ba, Ca, Co, Mn and Cd. Under the optimized conditions, digestion of 300 mg of the snack samples was performed by the addition of 5 mL of nitric acid in a Teflon autoclave and by heating the obtained mixture at 120 °C for 75 min. In order to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed protocol, method linearity, accuracy precision, limits of detection (LODs) and limits of quantification (LOQs) were evaluated. The relative standard deviations (RSD%) for all elements were lower than 13.5%, demonstrating that the method offered good precision. The relative recoveries values (R%) ranged between 80–120%, demonstrating that the method offered good accuracy. The LODs for all the trace elements ranged between 0.18 and 3.75 μg g−1, while the LOQs ranged between 0.60 and 12.50 μg g−1. Finally, the proposed protocol was implemented for the analysis of a wide variety of savory snack samples including commercial snacks from corn, potato chips, popcorns, puffed rice cake and crackers.

Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy was applied to the determination of boric anhydride in ascharite ores. Pretreatment method, reagents used for acid decomposition and the interferences from matrix and coexistent elements were discussed in details respectively. The analytical spectral lines were selected while experimental parameters were optimized. The results indicated that after the samples were completely dissolved and collected with hydrochloric acid (1+1) in a sealed container with a reflux condenser by the low-temperature heating method, they could be directly analyzed and determined with ICP-AES at optimized operating parameters. The relative standard deviation of the method is less than 1.4% within the measurement range of 0.1% ~ 40% and the recovery rate is in the range of 98.1% ~ 101.0%. The method was proved satisfactory with wide linear range, low detection limit and also high sensitivity and accuracy.

A novel method for the determination of rhodium in waste rhodium-loaded carbon catalyst samples was established by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry after samples digested by Teflon pressure digestion vessel with aqua regia. Such experiment conditions were investigated as the influence of sample dissolution methods, digestion time, digestion temperature and interfering ions on the determination. The results indicated that the digestion effect was optimum with samples digested 8 hour at 180 °C. Al, Fe, Mg, Ca and Si in samples had no effect on the determination of rhodium. Experiment indicated rhodium concentration within the range of 0 ~ 150 mg L-1 had a linear relation with emission intensity. The recovery was 99.20% ~ 100.73 %, and the relative standard deviation was 1.8 %. A satisfactory result was obtained when applying the proposed method in the practical sample.

A method for the determination of iridium impurity in platinum jewelry alloys by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) was reported. Spectral interferences of Au, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni and Pt to Ir at specific wavelengths have been investigated. The spectral coincidence profiles were recorded and interfering lines were identified. The optimum analytical line of 38 iridium emission lines was 215.268 nm {156}. Ir 212.681 {158} and Ir 205.116 nm {164} can be used as analytical lines after rectified by Inter-Element Corrections (IEC) coefficients. Ir 186.250 nm is a new candidate analytical line. Ir 224.268 nm is not being recommended by reason of the severe spectral interference from Cu and Ni. Ir 322.08 nm is not being recommended for its weaker emission intensity. Validation was performed in terms of detection limits, linearity, precision and recovery. The relative standard deviations (RSD) and recoveries of the method are in the range of 0.59%~1.84% and 85.5%~93.2%, respectively.
