Abstract

Single-charge background argid ions ArH+, ArN+, ArO+ and Ar2+ create very strong spectral interference in elemental and isotope analysis by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The behavior of these basic background argid ions under ICP-MS conditions is experimentally investigated depending on the high-frequency plasma power and the velocity of the argon transporting stream. Theoretically, the behavior of these argid ions has been studied by thermodynamic modeling with varying plasma temperature and velocity of the transporting argon stream. The general patterns of changes in the intensity of the main background argid ions and the efficiency of their formation with varying operational parameters of inductively coupled plasma are noted. A good coincidence of the experimental and theoretical dependences obtained has been achieved.
