Abstract:Inductive coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used to analyze the contents of 10 mineral elements in slag. After digested completely by HNO3-HF-HClO4, these samples were determined using the internal method. The recoveries for spiking samples were 78.8%-105.7%, and the relative standard deviations were 0.68%-8.29%. The range of the detection limits of elements was 0.002-6.68 μg·g-1. The proposed method is simple, rapid and accurate, and could be used to analyze mineral elements in the slag.
