Determination of Ge,As and Se in soil and sediment by dynamic reaction cell inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry

Ultrasonic slurry sampling electrothermal vaporization dynamic reaction cellTM inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (USS-ETV-DRC-ICP-MS) has been applied to the determination of As and Se in soil and sediment samples. The influences of instrument operating conditions and slurry preparation on the ion signals were reported. Ascorbic acid and Pd were used as the modifiers to enhance the ion signals. The background ions at the selenium masses were reduced in intensity significantly by using 1.5 ml min-1 H2 as reaction cell gas in the DRC while a q value of 0.65 was used. Since the sensitivities of As and Se in slurry solution and aqueous solution were quite different, standard addition method was used for the determination of As and Se in these samples. This method has been applied to the determination of As and Se in NIST SRM 2711 Montana soil and SRM 2709 San Joaquin soil reference materials and NRCC BCSS-1 marine sediment reference sample. The analysis results of the reference materials were agreed with the certified values. The method detection limits estimated from standard addition curves were about 0.046-0.082 and 0.019-0.024 mg g-1 for As and Se, respectively, in original soil and sediment samples.
