A droplet carrying particle is desolvation, vaporization, ionization, and diffusion in an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) to form a cloud of ions. It then is detected as a mass-spectrum peak of individual particle. The diameter of the particle is derived from its mass, which is calibrated using the peak area. This is the basic principle of measuring single particles using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). In this paper, a mathematical model describing single particles in plasma is investigated. This makes it possible to investigate the process and contributing factors of single particles measurement by ICP-MS. A series of processes are investigated, which include increasing the droplet temperature to the boiling point, desolvation of the droplets, increasing the particle temperature to the melting point, the particles are melted from a solid to the liquid, increasing the particle temperature to the boiling point, and particle vaporization. The simulation shows that both the atomic (ion) diffusion in the plasma and the incomplete vaporization of the particles are two important factors that limit the signal intensity of the particle’s mass spectrum. The experiment reveals that ICP-MS is very linear for Ag nanoparticles below 100 nm and SiO2 particles below 1000 nm. Both the simulation and experiment reveal the measurement deviation for large particles and that an increase of sampling depth can extend the diffusion time and cause signal suppression. The model can be used to study the mechanisms of monodispersed droplet or single-particle mass spectrometry, analyze the contributing parameters for single particle measurements by ICP-MS and provide a theoretical base for the optimization of single particle measurements in the practical application, such as nanoparticle devices, magnetic materials, biomedical materials additives and consumer products.

The contents of Cr,Cu, Ni, As, Cd and Pb in coal fly ash were determined by a high resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry method.The sample digestions were performed in closed microwave vessels with HN03, HClO4 and HF.The optimum conditions for the determination were obtained.The applicability of the proposed method was validated by the analysis of coal fly ash reference material (NIST SRM 1633a). The results show that most of the spectral interferences can be avoided by measuring in the high resolution mode(maximum mass resolution R=9 000).The detection limit is from 0.05 to 0.21μg/g,and the precision is fine with relative standard deviation less than 4.3%.

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was applied to determine copper, arsenic, cadmium, lead in athletic food using Sc, Ge, In, Bi as an internal standard. The linear correlation factor for four elements are higher than 0.999. Recoveries of spiked samples are in the range of 85.5%-115.5% and precision was fine, RSD is lower than 5.0%. And these are close agreement with the reference values in three standard reference materials of GBW08503, NBS1568, GBW08571. It indicates that the method is simple, rapid, sensitive and accurate, which can meet the demand for copper, arsenic, cadmium, lead analysis in athletic food.

Compound ceramics coatings on the Ti-6Al-4V alloy were prepared by the direct current micro-plasma oxidation (MPO) in NaAlO2 solution. The composition and morphology of the coatings were studied with the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer technique was used to analyze the solution features of Ti-6Al-4V alloy in the process of preparation. The results reveal that Al2TiO5 forms in the coatings at the initial stages of MPO reaction, and its content changes rapidly with the reaction continuing: after 20 min, the ceramics coatings are composed of α-Al2O3, γ-Al2O3 and Al2TiO5, but after 40 min, its main composition is of α-Al2O3. The content of Ti in the solution will increase when the MPO time extends, and as will Al in the anode area until, after 30 min, it reaches the maximum and keeps constant from then on. Both substrata of Ti and Al in the electrolyte join the MPO reaction at the initial stage, where the formation of Al2TiO5 happens; but as the MPO reaction prolongs, more and more Al in the electrolyte will take part in the reaction, leading to the appearance of a large amount of Al2O3.

The application of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for determination of boron in water and urine samples was described. The detect limit (3σ) was 0.057 μg/L. The precision of the method was less than 2%. Multi-elements including Cr, Cu, Cd, Ba, Sr, Mn, Co, Tl, Li, Pb, Ca, Fe, K, Na, Mg, P, Si and Zn could be measured simultaneously. The method was successfully used in practice.
