Optimization and Empirical Modeling of HG-ICP-AES Analytical Technique through Artificial Neural Networks

Abstract

An artificial neural network technique has been applied to the optimization of a hydride generation-inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (HG-ICP-AES) coupling for the determination of Ge at trace levels. The back propagation of errors net architecture was used. Experimental parameters and their relationship have been studied, obtaining a surface response of the system. The results and optimization aspects achieved with the neural network approach have been compared to the "one variable at time" and SIMPLEX methods.

Multivariate study in chemical vapor generation for simultaneous determination of arsenic, antimony, bismuth, germanium, tin, selenium, tellurium and mercury by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry

“…SIMPLEX optimization was successfully applied to find optimal conditions for CVG coupled with atomic absorption spectrometry. 26,27 Optimization and empirical modeling of CVG-ICP-OES was achieved also by Magallanes et al, 28 through Artificial Neural Networks. However, all these works were dedicated to single element optimization.…”

Optimization of a vapour generation method for metal determination using ICP-OES

“…In spite of being multielemental techniques, there are not many papers showing the use of chemometrics that have taken into account parameters involved in analysis using ICP-MS, 28 ICP-OES 29,30 or VG-ICP-OES. [31][32][33][34] Experimental Instrumentation An Optima 3300 DV TM ICP-OES spectrometer (PerkinElmer, Norwalk, CT, USA) was used to determine noble and transition metal concentrations. The spectrometer system includes a three channel, software controlled peristaltic pump.…”

Arsenic detection in water: YPO4:Eu3+ nanoparticles

“…So detection and removal of arsenic from drinking water is very important for human health. Laboratory techniques used to detect arsenic are atomic fluorescence spectroscopy (AFS) [6], graphite furnace atomic absorption (GFAA) [7], inductively coupled plasma emission spectrophotometry (ICP-AES) [8], inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) [9], hydride generation atomic adsorption (HGAA) [10]. Atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) [11], neutron activation analysis [12] etc.…”
