Application of the Multicomponent Spectral Fitting Algorithm in the Estimation of the Correct Value of Phosphorus determined by ICP OES in Soil Samples

Atomic spectrometry update – a review of advances in environmental analysis

“…Interest in the measurement of isotope ratios has led to the development and application of new MC-ICP-MS isotope methods for the measurement of the following: 11 B/ 10 B in irrigation water and bell pepper plants to study B fractionation during uptake and translocation; 153 114 Cd/ 110 Cd in rock, soil and manganese nodule CRMs; 102 208 Pb/ 206 Pb and 207 Pb/ 206 Pb in soil and wine as a potential geographic tracer for authentication of Lambrusco PDO wines from Modena; 154 130 Te/ 126 Te in mine tailings, soil and sediment by HG-MC-ICP-MS as indicators of Te mobility and environmental redox conditions; 155 and 234 U/ 238 U and 235 U/ 238 U in soils from Odisha, India and Fukushima, Japan. 156 Although it was reported 157 that MC-ICP-MS was not necessary for measurement of 67 Zn/ 66 Zn in soil-fertiliser-plant systems as the precision obtained with standard quadrupole ICP-MS was adequate, this study featured the addition of a nutrient solution containing highly enriched 67 Zn and so did not concern the measurement of natural isotopic variations.…”

“…Developments in element-specific analysis included 130 a multicomponent spectral-fitting algorithm that could reduce interference from Cu in the determination of P in soil extracts. A new method 131 for the measurement of Hg and MeHg in biological tissue and sediment by ETV-CCP-AES was based on a prototype system previously proven for other analyses.…”
