Introduction
This document is part of a modular approach and concerns the analytical measurement step. “Modular”
means that a test standard concerns a specific step in assessing a property and not the whole chain of
measurements. Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) is nowadays widely
used and a well-established method in many laboratories.
1 Scope
This document specifies a method for the determination of boron (B), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), iron (Fe),
manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo) and zinc (Zn) in organic fertilizers and organo-mineral fertilizers
extracts using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES).
NOTE Alternatively, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) can be used for the measurement
if the user proves that the method gives the same results.
This method is applicable to water extracts prepared according to CEN/TS 17766. The method can be
used for the determination of other elements, provided the user has verified the applicability.

4 Principle
The method is based on the ICP-AES measurement of the concentration of boron (B), cobalt (Co), copper
(Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo) and zinc (Zn) in fertilizer extracts prepared
according to CEN/TS 17766. The elements are determined after appropriate dilution of the extract. The
solution is dispersed by a nebulizer of the ICP-AES instrument and the resulting aerosol is transported
into the plasma. Element specific emission spectra are produced by a radio-frequency inductively coupled
argon plasma where atoms or ions are excited at high temperature. The emission spectra are dispersed
by a spectrometer, and the intensities of the emission lines are monitored by photosensitive devices.
Multi-element determinations using sequential or simultaneous optical systems and axial or radial
viewing of the plasma may be used.
The method may be used for the determination of other elements, provided the user has verified the
applicability.
5 Interferences
5.1 General
Interferences and matrix effects shall be recognized and appropriate measures to minimize them shall be
made. There are several types of interferences – see 5.2 to 5.6.
5.2 Spectral interferences
Spectral interferences are due to incomplete isolation of the radiation emitted by the analyte from other
detected radiation sources. Spectral interferences are caused by background emission from continuous
or recombination phenomena, by stray light which causes background increase or overlap of a spectral
line from another element, or unresolved overlap of molecular band spectra. Background emission and
stray light can usually be compensated for by subtracting the background emission measured adjacent to
the analyte wavelength peak. To correct a sloping background shift two background correction points on
each side of the peak are used. Increase of background is more intensive with axial-view instruments.
Background correction is not required in cases of line broadening where a background correction
measurement would actually degrade the analytical result. A spectral line overlap usually leads to the
choice of an alternative line. If this is not possible, mathematical correction procedures (e.g. inter-element
correction technique, multi-component spectral fitting) can be used to compensate for the interference.
These correction procedures are usually a part of the instrument software.
5.3 Transport interferences
Transport interferences are caused by differences in the properties between the sample solutions and
the calibration solutions (viscosity, surface tension, density, dissolved solid content, type and
concentration of acids). As a consequence, the supply of solution to the nebuliser, the efficiency of
nebulisation and the droplet size distribution of the aerosol is altered, resulting in a change of sensitivity.
Errors due to these interferences can be overcome by dilution of the solutions, by matrix matching, by
standard addition or by internal standard.
5.4 Excitation interferences
Excitation interferences are attributed to a change in the excitation conditions in the plasma, especially
by the presence of easily ionisable elements. The interference depends on the operating conditions of the
plasma (e.g. power, sample introduction, gas flowrate or observation height) and differ from element to
element. Improvement of the plasma conditions can therefore reduce excitation interferences. Other
possibilities are dilution of the solutions, matrix matching or the standard addition technique.
5.5 Chemical interferences
Chemical interferences are not significant with the ICP-AES technique, but if observed, they can be
minimized by a careful selection of operating conditions (e.g. radio frequency power, observation
position, gas flow rate and so forth).
5.6 Memory interferences
Memory interferences result when analytes in a previous sample contribute to the signals measured in a
new sample. This type of interference can be caused by sample deposits or the accumulation in pump
tubing, nebulizer, spray chamber or plasma torch. The possibility of memory interferences should be
recognized within an analytical run and suitable rinse steps and rinse times should be used.
