Trace Metals in Organics by ICP-MS

UOP 1005 – Trace Metals in Organics by ICP-MS

This method is for determining the concentrations of aluminum (Al), arsenic (As), calcium (Ca), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), gallium (Ga), lead (Pb), lithium (Li), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni), palladium (Pd), phosphorus (P), platinum (Pt), potassium (K), sodium (Na), strontium (Sr), tin (Sn), titanium (Ti), vanadium (V), zinc (Zn), and zirconium (Zr), in organic matrices such as crude petroleum, asphalts, vacuum tower bottoms, vacuum gas oils, atmospheric gas oils, diesel and jet fuels and their blending components, pyrolysis oils, and fatty acid derivatives by Inductively Coupled Plasma – Mass Spectrometry (ICPMS). The lower limits of quantitation for the above elements, are listed in Table 1. Determination of additional elements is possible if they are compatible with other analytes during digestion.

Alternatively, many of the elements listed above can be determined using UOP Method 389, “Trace
