ICP inductively coupled argon

HCI = hydrochloric acid HNO3 = nitric acid ICP = inductively coupled argon plasma spectroscopy KNO3 = potassium nitrite MIBK = methyl isobutyl ketone NAA = neutron activation analysis NH 4HCO3-DTPA = ammonium bicarbonate-diethyl enetriaminepentaacetic acid NR = not reported... [Pg.148]

ICP Inductively coupled argon plasma (also referred to as ICAP). An instrument used for metals analysis. Because the temperature of the plasma is considerably higher (10,000 K) than the temperature of a flame AA spectrophotometer, it is especially useful for refractory metals. Some instruments are also capable of performing simultaneous multielement analysis. [Pg.593]
