| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was that the development of compact atomic emission detection (AED) devices capable of performing high-sensitive and high-selective detections for environmental pollutants because we paid attention to the easy generation of miniaturized and stable helium plasma by applying radio-wave (200-300kHz).
An AED device with high-sensitivity for some organic sulfur compounds was firstly developed. An avalanche photodiode (APD) module was used for the photometric system. Some typical atomic emissions (921-923nm)from sulfur were detected by the APD module after selecting by a suitable interference filter. The pg/sec sensitivity for sulfur was achieved as a GC detector by optimizing the inner diameter of electrodes and the distance between them, the applied power and frequency, and the flow rate of plasma gas etc.
Next, a smaller and power-saving AED device equipped with a coaxial double-tube type micro plasma torch was newly developed. The plasma was capable of being generated by using the AED device with below 1W of applied power and a few mL/min of plasma gas. When the AED device was equipped on a GC system, more highly sensitive detection of organic phosphorus and sulfur compounds was performed with a CCD spectrometer after the optimization of applied power and frequency, and the flow rate of plasma gas.
Furthermore, another AED device with a coaxial type micro plasma torch with face-to-face positioned electrode tubes was developed. 8pg/sec for sulfur and 12pg/sec for phosphorus as the detection limit were achieved, respectively.
