Atomic fluorine spectra in the argon inductively coupled plasma

Indirect determination of fluoride in aqueous samples by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry following precipitation of CeF3

“…An additional obstacle is that the wavelengths of the resonant lines are under 100 nm requiring a sophisticated optical system. Only a few papers are published about fluorine determination in gaseous samples at the non-resonant line (F I 685.602 nm) by ICP-AES using direct injection via a gas sampling loop or a gas chromatographic apparatus [1][2][3]. The fluorine emission line of 685.602 nm can be detected not only with ICP-AES but also with gas chromatography microwave induced plasma atomic emission spectrometry (MIP-AES) [4,5].…”

Direct introduction of cigarette smoke for puff-by-puff trace metals analysis by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry

“…For example, the determination of non-metals, such as Br, C, Cl, F, and S, in gaseous samples has been performed by ICP-OES. [19][20][21] Real-time monitoring and determination of trace metals for continuous on-line process control have also been applied to the polymer industry for analysis of inorganic impurities in ethene gas by ICP-MS. 22 Electronic grade gases utilized for the semiconductor manufacturing process have been introduced to sealed ICP-OES 23,24 and ICP-MS 25 instruments for ultra-trace level impurity measurements.…”

Determination of fluorine in aqueous samples by electrothermal vaporisation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ETV-ICP-MS)

“…The high excitation and ionisation potentials present for fluorine result in extremely poor sensitivity for the determination by ICP-AES and ICP-MS. Because of the poor sensitivity, few papers have been reported concerning fluorine detection by ICP. [1][2][3] Fry et al 2 introduced gaseous fluorocarbons via a gas sampling loop and measured the atomic emission intensities at 685.602 nm, a non-resonance atomic emission line. Moreover, by using a gas chromatographic apparatus instead of the gas sampling loop, selective detection of the analytes could be performed.…”
