Enhancement effect of organic solvents on the line intensity of lower power argon ICP-AES：Part I On the nebulization procedure

The procedure of nebulization was studied with the introduction of ethanol into a lower power argon ICE It was found that as ethanol introduced, the physical properties of solutions changed, which results in an improvement on the nebulization efficiency. An empirical relationship between the concentration of the aerosol and the solution properties ( viscosity, density, and surface tension) is presented.
