Application of Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectrometry for the Analysis of Ceramics and Glasses

  • Chapter
Advances in Materials Characterization II

Part of the book series: Materials Science Research ((MSR,volume 19))

Abstract

The analysis of ceramics, glasses, and other refractory materials by atomic spectroscopic techniques is a well — established analytical chemistry approach. During the past decade development of new spectrochemical plasma sources, in particular the inductively coupled plasma (ICP), direct current plasma jet (DCP), and microwave induced plasma (MIP), has revelutionized spectrochemical measurements of major, minor, and trace elements in diverse industrial materials. Owing to the very high temperature, stability, and low chemical interferences of the ICP discharge, ICP spectrometry is especially suited for the analysis of ceramics, glasses, and refractories. The objective of this article is to review the features and capabilities of ICP spectrometry for the analysis of ceramics, glasses, and refractory materials. The prospects for development are substantial, and maturity in the application of ICP spectrometry to these materials is expected to occur by the end of the decade.
