A direct, accurate and precise method is reported for major elements Ca, K, Mg and Na measurements in river and drinking water using a high resolution ICP-MS. Double isotope dilution calibration was used for the determination of Mg whereas the combined standard addition and internal standardization (Sc) was used for Ca, K and Na measurements. The method is validated by analysis fresh water SLRS-5, SLRS-6 and SRM1640a with satisfactory results characterized by high precisions of 0.055% to 0.66% RSD (or 0.29-1.8% relative combined uncertainty) for all four analytes, superior to those reported in earlier studies. As noted, use of internal standard Sc has significantly (3-33 times) improved measurement precisions for Ca, K and Na compared to standard addition calibration alone. The proposed method was applied for the determination of major elements Ca, K, Mg and Na in a candidate drinking water CRM AQUA-1. Values of 1.908 ± 0.007 µg g, 8.27 ± 0.14 µg g, 0.660 ± 0.010 µg g and 13.76 ± 0.05 µg g (u, k = 1) were obtained for Mg, Ca, K and Na in AQUA-1 drinking water, respectively.
本文报道了一种使用高分辨率 ICP-MS 直接、准确、精确测定河流水和饮用水中主要元素 Ca、K、Mg 和 Na 的方法。采用双同位素稀释法对 Mg 进行了测定,而 Ca、K 和 Na 的测定则采用了标准加入和内标(Sc)联合法。该方法通过对淡水 SLRS-5、SLRS-6 和 SRM1640a 的分析进行了验证,结果表明,所有四种分析物的精密度均较高,为 0.055%至 0.66%(或 0.29-1.8%相对综合不确定度),优于早期研究中的报道。如前所述,与单独使用标准加入校准相比,使用内标 Sc 可显著(3-33 倍)提高 Ca、K 和 Na 的测量精密度。该方法应用于候选饮用水 CRM AQUA-1 中主要元素 Ca、K、Mg 和 Na 的测定。在 AQUA-1 饮用水中,Mg、Ca、K 和 Na 的含量分别为 1.908±0.007μg/g、8.27±0.14μg/g、0.660±0.010μg/g 和 13.76±0.05μg/g(u,k=1)。
