Determination of boron in water by flow injection/inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry

A method is described involving flow injection and inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry for the determination of boron (0.5–25 mg l −1) in water at a sampling rate of 320 h −1. An 11-ml capacity cloud chamber, with a tangential aerosol outlet, was used to introduce the nebulized sample t...

Description
Summary:A method is described involving flow injection and inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry for the determination of boron (0.5–25 mg l −1) in water at a sampling rate of 320 h −1. An 11-ml capacity cloud chamber, with a tangential aerosol outlet, was used to introduce the nebulized sample to the plasma. The sample volume injected was 300 μl. The relative standard deviation for peak height was 3% for 10 mg l −1 of boron at a carier flow-rate of 3.5 ml min −1. The wash-out between samples was improved by using the 11-ml cloud chamber rather than a conventional 110-ml chamber.
