A novel atmospheric pressure glow discharge generated in contact with a flowing liquid anode (FLA-APGD) was developed as the efficient excitation source for optical emission spectrometry (OES) detection. Differences appearance and electrical characteristic of FLA-APGD conventional system operated cathode (FLC-APGD) were studied detail discussed. Under optimal operating conditions FLA-APGD, from analytes (Ag, Cd, Hg, Pb, Tl, Zn) 20 to 120 times higher compared FLC-APGD. Limits detections...
Miniaturized atmospheric pressure glow discharges (APGDs) were generated in contact with small sized flowing liquid cathode systems. As anodes a solid pin electrode or miniature flow Ar microjet applied. Both discharge systems operated the open to air atmosphere. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as well ammonium (NH4 +), nitrate (NO3 −), and nitrite (NO2 −) ions quantified solutions treated by studied Additionally, an increase acidification of these was noted each case. Emission spectra near zone...
A novel liquid drop anode (LDA) direct current atmospheric pressure glow discharge (dc-APGD) system was applied for determination of Cd in microsamples (50 μL) by optical emission spectrometry (OES). The microdischarge generated open-to-air atmosphere between a solid pin type tungsten cathode and placed on graphite disk anode. arrangement the PTFE chip platform as well simple robust. limit detection (LOD) developed LDA-APGD-OES method 0.20-0.40 μg L-1, while precision (as relative standard...
This study presented a straightforward method for detecting the adulteration of natural bee honey with consumable artificial and syrups. The approach, based on measuring alkali alkaline earth metal content, revealed that adulterated samples had lower K, Rb, Mg, Ca levels elevated Na content. A novel cost-effective method, solution cathode glow discharge optical emission spectrometry (SCGD OES), was developed elemental analysis. method's trueness confirmed through ICP OES MS measurements....

A technique of vapor generation assisted by a microplasma was used for sample introduction into inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES). Replacing pneumatic nebulizer with novel device improved the sensitivities analytical signals Ag, Bi, Cd, Pb, Tl, and Zn (by 2–13 times), as well concomitant reduction in their detection limits (DLs). Moreover, an outstanding improvement (30-fold) achieved Hg. The factors contributing to boosted signal intensities were higher...
Low power direct current atmospheric glow microdischarges were sustained between miniature Ar or He flow nozzle microjets and a small-sized flowing liquid cathode as new excitation microsources for optical emission spectrometry.
