ABSTRACT
A method was studied for the analysis of Cr, As, Cd, Hg and Pb in acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer by using ICP-MS. The instrument parameters were optimized and the introduction system was developed systematically. The sample is decomposed by microwave digestion. The digestion condition was optimized concerning digestion system, proportion of acids and digestion procedure, which affords reference for the preparation of the same kinds of polymer samples. The detection limits of the method for all sample elements were 0.7-6.5 ng x g(-1), the recoveries were 89.8%-110.8%, and the RSDs were 2.8%-11.3%. The analytical method presented was characterized with good precision and accuracy, simplicity, rapidness, low limits of detection and no matrix matching requirements.
