Resumen: | Microwave induced plasma optical emission spectrometry (MIP-OES) has gained widespread attention in the last few years for trace elemental analysis. Among the new generation of MIPs it is worth to mention the microwave-sustained inductively coupled atmospheric-pressure plasma (MICAP) for which previous works have shown similar detection capabilities to those afforded by ICP-OES. Nevertheless, this instrument has not been applied yet to complex matrix sample analysis. Therefore, the goal of this work is to evaluate MICAP-OES performance (e.g., analytical figures of merit, matrix effects, etc.) for elemental analysis of samples of different nature (e.g., environmental, food and polymers). To this end, both spectral and non-spectral interferences were investigated for 19 elements (Ag, Al, As, B, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ga, In, Mg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sr, Tl, Zn) in the presence of inorganic acid, organic and saline solutions and compared to a 5 % w w−1 HNO3 solution. Unlike previous MIPs, experimental data showed that the optimum nebulizer gas flow rate for a given emission wavelength was mostly independent of matrix characteristics. Regarding matrix effects, this device was highly robust operating both inorganic acid and organic matrices. Interestingly, when operating saline matrices, changes on emission signal by easily ionizable elements were less significant than those early reported by alternative MIP cavities. Moreover, due to MICAP spectrometer design employed allows real-time simultaneous analysis, Rh, Pd, Sc and Y were suitable internal standards to minimize non-spectral interferences. Finally, MICAP-OES can be successfully applied to the elemental analysis of different complex matrix samples (i.e., CRM-DW1 Drinking water; BCR-146 Sewage sludge industrial; BCR-185 Bovine liver; BCR-278R Mussel tissue; NIST-1549 Non-fat milk powder; ERM-EC681k Polyethylene (high level) and BCR-483 Sewage sludge amended soil). |
