Abstract:
Spectral interferences in the simultaneous determination of multi-elements in sediments and soil by ICP-AES were investigated and the multicomponent spectral fitting (MSF) method was used for the correction. Several factors affecting the MSF method such as the signal integration time and the spectra shift were studied. The comparison between MSF and off-peak background correction were made by analyzing national standard reference material: sediment GBW07306. The detection limit and the precision could be improved by a factor of 1.3-9.0 and 1.1-4.9 respectively and the results agreed better with those of the certified values when using MSF correction.
