Abstract

Three multielement methods: (1) inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), (2) inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), and (3) spark source mass spectrometry (SSMS) were used for the determination of additives in the samples of germanium and germanium oxide. The detection limits of direct SSMS and ICP-AES/ICP-MS were compared using the autoclave predissolution of germanium and germanium dioxide samples. It was shown that in the latter case, the detection limits could be significantly improved by the separation of germanium from analytes by distillation. In this case, the detection limits of such limiting elements like Th and U can reach the level n 10−10 wt %.
