The effect of solution temperature (20, 40 and 60 degrees C) on the emission intensity of ICP has been studied. The results show that the spectrum intensity of the elements Ba, Cu and Zn increases obviously with increasing the solution temperature. In addition, at different solution temperatures, the rule of the variation of the intensity with both observation height and nebulizer gas pressure has been obtained, which indicates that the best observation location is lowered when increasing the temperature, but the best nebulizer gas pressure is augmented.
