“…Spectral interferences, especially line overlaps, can be a major problem in ICP-AES. [35][36][37] Although efforts have been made to collect spectral interference data in different matrices [38][39][40][41] or to build in databases in commercial ICP-AES instruments to help users select emission lines free from spectral interference in different matrices, 42 the selection of an appropriate analytical line can still be difficult, especially for a sample with a complex or unknown matrix. Improper line selection results in a loss of detection power and analytical errors.…”

Vertically resolved measurement of analyte emission was investigated as an on-line indicator for flagging matrix effects and system drift in inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry. The method is based on the fact that plasma behavior and excitation conditions are heterogeneous along the ICP vertical axis. As a result, the relative magnitude and even the direction of the change in emission intensity caused by a matrix effect or system drift are not constant, but are functions of observation height in the plasma. Since the determined concentration of an analyte in a sample is proportional to the measured intensity, any change in matrix effects or system drift along the vertical profile will similarly shift the determined concentration, allowing the drift or interference to be detected. It was verified that the new method can successfully flag matrix interferences caused by a change in plasma conditions (so-called plasma-related matrix effects), a change in sample aerosol generation or transport (so-called sample-introduction-related matrix effects) or spectral interference from emission lines of the matrix. Similarly, the method responded effectively to system drift caused by a change in sample throughput, central-channel gas flow and plasma forward power.

“…To serve the above purpose, a systematic study of the spectral interference of Pr on the analytes is required. Several attempts were made to understand the spectral interference of the rare earth element on other rare earths by ICP-AES using a photomultiplier tubebased detection system (24)(25)(26)(27)(28). Due to the advancements of the capacitatively coupled device (CCD)-based detection system in ICP-AES, the choice of alternative analytical lines of the elements, increases, which is of great significance in a situation when the best analytically performed line of an analyte is significantly interfered by the emission-rich matrix element.…”

“…There are numerous difficulties associated with undertaking the simultaneous analysis of actinides, rare earths, and other fission products, and extremely dense and complex spectral features result from the as-produced mixture. These difficulties are (i) experimental, (ii) operational, and (iii) safety related.The technique of choice for measuring the actinide and rare earth content in irradiated fuel is ICP-MS or ICP-OES/AES [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41], but the challenge of analyzing concentrated solutions from fuel dissolution with very high radiological dose must first be addressed. This creates analytical uncertainties from large dilutions, up to a million-fold, which can be costly and time consuming and increase worker hazards in sample handling.…”

A study of the optical emission as a function of concentration of laser-ablated yttrium (Y) and of six rare earth elements, europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), lanthanum (La), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), and samarium (Sm), hasbeen evaluated using the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) technique. Statistical methodology using multivariate analysis has been used to obtain the sampling errors, coefficient of regression, calibration and crossvalidationof measurements as they relate to the LIBS analysis in graphite-matrix pellets that were doped with elements at severalconcentrations. Each element (in oxide form) was mixed in the graphite matrix in percentages ranging from 1% to 50% by weight and the LIBS spectra obtained for each composition as well as for pure oxide samples. Finally a single pellet was mixed with all the elements in equal oxide masses to determine if we can identify the elemental peaks in a mixed pellet. This dataset is relevant for future application to studies of fission product content and distribution in irradiated nuclear fuels. These results demonstrate that LIBS
