Abstract
A comparative study of different torches in the Microwave Induced Plasma is reported. Three types of torches that have been used in this area are characterized and compared with each other. Especially, recently developed laminar flow torches have been optimized in design and analytical performances. The ratio of inner to outer tubes is found to be the most important parameter. As inner tube size increases, recirculating region also increases and consequently, sensitivity becomes better. An optimized laminar flow torch has been coupled to a gas chromatography and examined for halogen compounds. Detection limits are 25 pg s-1 for Cl and 12 pg s-1 for Br. These values are improved over the conventional laminar flow torch.
