Project: Quantitative determination of trace elements in photographic materials using ICPMS.

01-JAN-98 – 31-DEC-99

Abstract
The aim of this project is to assess the possibilities of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) for fast and accurate trace analysis of photographic materials. Also (i) the use of isotope dilution for the determination of traces of noble metals after selective removal of Ag and (ii) the application of electrothermal vaporization (ETV) for sample introduction, enabling lower limits of detection and direct analysis of solid material will be evaluated. Finally, also speciation of Pb and Se in AgNO3 sollutions will be carried out.
