Abstract

The relationship between sample temperature and the plasma spectrum is of great significance to the water quality monitoring using the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). In this work, we study the effect of temperature variation on the plasma spectrum in CaCl2 solution for on-line analysis using the LIBS. The effects of sample solution temperature from 25 to 80 °C on the emission spectral intensity, the signal-to-background ratio (SBR) and quantitative analysis of the laser-induced plasma are studied. When the temperature rises from 25 to 70 °C, the emission spectral intensity and the SBR of the laser plasma increase or get enhanced with the increase of temperature. However, when the temperature further increases from 70 to 80 °C, the spectral intensity and the SBR begin to decrease. The enhancement rate reaches the maximum at 70 °C. In quantitative analysis, the fitting curve and the root mean square errors (RMSE) increase with the increase of the sample temperature. The relevant parameters peak at 70 °C. At this optimal temperature, the correlation coefficients of Ca II 393.366 and Ca II 396.847 nm are found to be 0.9988 and 0.9953, respectively, with the RMSE decreased to 0.16 and 0.27%, respectively, and the lowest detection limits are 27.99 and 28.10 μg ml−1, respectively. This study demonstrates that the preheating to the samples can effectively improve the LIBS ability for on-line analysis and detection of water quality.
