Theresearch on it showed that there are many trace elements in maifanite. In this paper, 36 traceelements in maifanite were determined by outer cover electrode atomic emission spectrometry, and thedetermination conditions were studied systematically. The results show that the concentrations ofelements, which are beneficial to human health, are higher, and the elements harmful to peoplehealth such as As, Cd, Hg, Cr, and Pb are tiny in maifanite. The precision and the accuracy werealso discussed.展开更多

However, its capability of determining nonmetals has not been developed well. The major reasons are the resonance lines of most nonmetals lie in the vacuum ultraviolet spectral region and the ionic lines of these elements are difficult to be used because the ionization potentials of the elements are very high. And furthermore only He plasma can efficiently excit those ionic resonance lines. The practical application of HeICP-AES to determining the nonmetals is also difficult because its operating and perchace costs are very high. In contrast to HeICPAES, the costs of He microwave induced plasma (MIP)-AES are relatively low, HeMIP has a high excitation capability which can excite ionic lines of various nonmetals and the nonmetals can be determined by HeMIP-AES with a high sensitivity.展开更多

Totally 19 elements in safflower included heavy metals, i.e. As, Cd, Cu, Hg and Pb, and wholesome elements, i.e. Al, Ca, Co, Cr, Fe, Mg, Mn, Mo, Ni, P, Se, Sr, V and Zn. The results showed that the concentrations of heavy metals in safflower samples were both low, all of which met the national hygiene standards except for Pb in Xinjiang sample. Meanwhile, the distribution tendency of elements in the two samples was similar, which indicated that the plant might absorb given elements in a proportional way. The method can be used for the quality control of elements in safflower, and it provides a way for the determination of the contents of safflower from Xinjiang and Henan.展开更多
