Processes
Starting with a “homogeneous” solution sample....
•Nebulization
•Desolvation
•Dissociation
•ExcitationAll require energy and time.There is a “domino” effect.

Interferences
•Nebulization
•Desolvation
•Dissociation
•Excitation
Probably 85% of significant interferences occur at nebulization, due to changes in surface tension, density, and viscosity.These are multiplicative interferences.

Rule-of-Thumb
When the Total Dissolved Solids exceeds about 1000 ppm, changes in surface tension, density, and viscosity begin to affect the droplet size distribution and, thus, the slope of the analytical calibration curve.

Interferences
Control by:
•Matrix Removal – usually not practical
•Swamping – risk of contamination
•Matrix Matching – probably most useful
• Internal Standard – line selection
•Method of Standard Additions – most tedious and time-consuming

Single Droplet Studies
• Desolvation begins
• Evaporation from surface
• Droplet diameter diminishes
• Crust forms as solvent evaporates
•Internal pressure builds
•Droplet explodes
•Escaping water vapor cools immediate surroundings
•Particles dehydrate
•Particles evaporate
![Page 11: Adventures in Sample Introduction for ICP-OES and ICP-MS Geoffrey N. Coleman Meinhard Glass Products A Division of Analytical Reference Materials International](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061614/56649d835503460f94a68e46/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Implications
•Large Surface Area/Volume
•Small Droplets•Faster desolvation and vaporization
•Narrow Size Distribution•Consistent desolvation and vaporization
•Well-defined excitation/observation zones
•Virtually no signal comes from droplets larger than 8 - 10 m
•Most signal comes from < 3 m.

Qg = Volume flowrate, gas - (cm3/s)
•Adjust annulus to increase V, but maintain Qg
•Adjust capillary to decrease Ql

High Efficiency Nebulizer
•The HEN normally aspirates 30 – 300 L/min
•Design gas flow is 1 L/min of argon
•Normal operating pressure is 170 psi, 150 and 90 psi versions are available.

High Efficiency Nebulizer
•Under normal operating conditions, a HEN exhibits a D3,2 of 1.2 – 1.5 m
•“Starved” TR-30-A3 exhibits D3,2 of 3.2 – 4.2 m
•Normal operating conditions for a TR-30-A3 yield a mean droplet size of about 15 m

High Efficiency Nebulizer
Applications:•Chromatography detection
•Capillary electrophoresis•Liquid chromatography
•Limited sample volume
•Minimize speciation interferences•Very high analyte transport•Much less discrimination between volatile
species and dissolved species

Direct Injection HEN
•DIHEN is designed to be inserted directly into a demountable torch
•DIHEN is dimensionally similar to HEN (see table, slide 47)
•DIHEN is operationally similar to HEN, except•Normal carrier flow is 0.2 – 0.4 L/min
•Minimize speciation interferences• Easily introduce highly volatile solvents• Essentially 100% transport• Large-Bore version less prone to clogging, but noisy

DIHEN
•Typical demountable torch with DIHEN in place
•Detection limits better than conventional pneumatic nebulizer
•Detection limits not as good as HEN
