Abstract:High resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HR-ICP-MS) is an element and isotope analysis technology using inductively coupled plasma as ion source and sector magnetic field mass spectrometry as detector. It has the advantages of high sensitivity, low limit of detection and simultaneous analysis of multiple elements. As the simplest and most effective technology to overcome the interference of mass spectrometry, HR-ICP-MS has been gradually applied in geology, environment, metallurgy, biology and other fields. The principle and technical characteristics of HR-ICP-MS are briefly introduced, and the pretreatment methods of geological samples commonly used in the laboratory are summarized. The advantages and disadvantages of these pretreatment methods are compared. The application progress of HR-ICP-MS is analysis of conventional elements, rare earth elements and rare and scattered elements in geological samples in recent 10 years was summarized. HR-ICP-MS could solve the mass spectrum interference of most isoelements, polyatoms and oxides. Internal standard method, matrix matching method, isotope dilution method and matrix separation technology could solve the matrix effect in HR-ICP-MS analysis. The combination of HR-ICP-MS with laser ablation and morphological separation was also worthy of attention in the future.
