An ICP-AES method for determination of calcium content and dissolution characteristics of oyster shell (Ostrea gigas) has been developed and validated. Total calcium content in oyster shell was determined using ICPAES. The dissolution characteristics, which would reflect the composition of $CaCO_3$ polymorphs and calcium salts in oyster shell, were also evaluated by dissolution test. The total calcium contents ranged from 31.8 to 39.9% and the dissolution ratios varied from 62.7 to 83.6% (n=15). The determination of calcium content and dissolution characteristics by ICP-AES would provide useful information for the quality control of oyster shell.

Acid effects on the ICP-AES signals are studied as the concentrations of nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and 1:1 mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid are changed. Almost all analyte signals are depressed. The extent of the depression due to the pressence of the acids became to be pecular when the acid concentration was over 1%. Among the acids used, the suppression due to sulfuric acid is most severe and unexpectable. The ratios of the analyte signal to Ar signal and the Mg II signal to Mg I signal are measured as the concentration of the acids changed. In this study, it is proved that the main reason of the signal reduction is the change in the nebulization efficiency, for example, droplet size distribution, viscosity and surface tension variation, not the alteration of plasma excitation characteristics. There was no relationship found between ionization potential and analyte signal reduction in ICP-MS.

Simultaneous determination of mercury and arsenic has been studied by reductive vapor generation-ICP-AES. Samples were digested with a microwave digestion system and extracted with acids. Reductive vapor generation was carried out with 6N HCI and 2% $NaBH_4$. Detection limit of Hg and As are found to be 0.06 ppb and 0.08 ppb, respectively. Measured values of Hg and As in inorganic samples agree well with reference value of SRMs, but the recovery of As from organic samples is obtained approximately 80% of the reference values.

A new double-pulse laser system that combines Raman and laser induced plasma spectroscopy (LIPS) in a single unit is proposed. The study attempts to enhance the laser induced plasma signals while simultaneously extracting the desired molecular signals from Raman spectroscopy. In low pressure conditions such as the lunar atmosphere, the measuring of plasma emission is hard because of the low electron density and short persistence time causing a rapid plasma expansion. Furthermore, in the integration of the detecting system aimed at space exploration, the minimization of laser system is important in terms of the payload mass. Simultaneous molecular and atomic detection that gave highly resolved spectral data at pressure below 0.07 torr is demonstrated amongst eight rock samples test. The plasma stacking produced from the double-pulse laser enhanced the signal intensity of calcium and oxygen lines in calcite matrix by twofold, compared to a conventional LIPS.

Analytical characteristics of low power-low flow inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectometry(ICP-AES) has been studied. Although the net intensity of the low power ICP is lower than the moderate power ICP, the signal to background ratio becomes higher since the background intensity decreases with decreasing the RF power. The detection limit of the low power ICP is comparable with that of the moderate power ICP. The dynamic range of the calibration curve of the low power ICP is $10^4{\sim}10^5$. The ionization interferences by alkali metals increase with increasing the carrier gas flow rate, but the effects are not varied significantly with the RF power.

A method to determine the trace amount of Se and Bi in the scalp hair using the hydride generation inductively coupled plasma atomic emmission spectrometry was studied. The optimum operation conditions of ICP for hydride generation are 0.6~0.8L/min for the carrier gas flow rate, and 6mm above the induction coil for the observation height. Hydrochloric acid concentrations for the optimum hydride generation conditions were greater than 1.5M when 2.5% $NaBH_4$ and NaOH were used, and greater than 0.5M when 2.5% $NaBH_4$ and 0.1% NaOH were used. Severe interference effects are observed from transition metals such as Cu and Ni, and they could be circumvented by the coprecipitation with lanthanum hydroxide.

The separation of gallium and indium from the matrix elements such as zinc and other ions, especially form Fe(III) ion was studied for the determination of trace level of them in zinc ores and zinc blendes by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry(ICP-AES). Gallium and indium were extracted from the sample solution with a solvent of tributyl phosphate(TBP). The type and concentration of acid, interferences of other ions, the ratio of aqueous phase to organic phase, TBP concentration, sripping efficiency were optimized for the effective extraction. Gallium and indium were separated from other ions in the 5N hydrochloric acid solution of the samples by the extraction with 100% TBP. In this time, Fe(III) was reduced to Fe(II) with hydroxylamine hydrochloride to prevent its coextraction prior to the main extraxtion. After stripped from organic phase by the back-extraction with 0.02N HCl, they were determined in the aqueous phase by ICP-AES. This method was known to be quantitative from the overall extraction of more than 95%.

In a stream of aqueous sample, trace arsenic ions were quantitatively coprecipitated and detected in ICP-AES through hydride generation. In was used as a coprecipitating reagent. The precipitate was collected on a filter and dissolved by HCl. The eluted As was sent into the reaction coil to generate hydrides and analyzed by ICP. With optimal conditions, and with a sample of 0.3 mL, an enrichment of 70 was obtained with the sampling speed of 10/hr. When compared with coprecipitation and hydride generation technique, the sensitivity was increased by 7 and 10 times, respectively. The limit of detection limit$(3{\sigma})$ was 0.020 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ and the precision was 7-10%. Separation of $As^{3+}\;and\;As^{5+}$ were possible using citric acid in hydride generation.

투석을 이용한 투석법과 투석을 이용하지 않은 평형 실험을 통해 슈워트마나이트를 합성하였다. 이 합성실험 동안 일정시간 간격을 두고 합성 용액 시료와 합성괸 침전물 시료를 채취하였으며, 이러한 시료들에 대해 X-선 회절 분석(XRD), 시차열분석(DTA), 원자흡수분광분석(AA), 유도결합 플라즈마 원자방출분광분석(ICP-AES), 이온크로마토그래피(IC)분석 등을 실시하였다. 컴퓨터 프로그램 MINTEQA2를 이용하여 분석된 합성용액의 화학조성으로부터 침전물과 공존하는 용액 내 각 화학조성으로부터 침전물과 공존하는 용액 내 각 화학종의 분포와 활동도를 계산하였다. 연구 결과 투석법을 이용하여 합성을 하면 비평형 상태를 유지하게 되므로 순수한 슈워트마나이트의 용해도를 얻고자 할 때는 투석을 이용하지 않은 합성법을 수행하여야 하는 것이 밝혀졌다. 투석을 이용하지 않은 합성 실험 결과 슈워트마나이트 침전후 72시간이 경과한 후에 평형상태에 도달함이 확인되었다. 평형상태일 때 순수하게 합성된 슈워트마나이트의 용해도 상수 pKs는 $-6.11\pm$1.16의 값을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 순사한 슈원트마나이트의 분석된 화학조성으로 계산된 화학식은 $Fe_{8}$ /O sub 8/ (OH)$_{4.16}$ ($SO_4$)$_{1.92}$ .$6.74H_2$O, $Fe_{8}$ /O$_{8}$ (OH)$_{4.18}$ ($SO_4$)$_{ 1.91}$.$6.89H_2$O이다.

Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry was used for the determination of all 14 rare earth elements (REE) in geological materials. Samples were decomposed by using acid digestion followed by alkaline fusion. Group separation of the REE was achieved by solvent extraction with TOPO (trioctylphosphine oxide) and back extraction into HCl. The results for standard rock sample, AGV-1, showed a good agreement with those obtained by US Geological Survey as well as reported values in other articles.
