Abstract A study of the effect of alkane gases on the atomic fluorescence signals of some refractory elements has been made, with a low power inductively coupled plasma (ICP) as the atomiser, and a high power ICP as the source. Detection limits are, for some elements, inferior to those obtainable by ICP-Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES). However, an improvement by a factor of two has been obtained for tungsten by using ethanolic solutions instead of adding traces of hydrocarbon gases.
