Abstract: The microwave plasma atomic spectrometry is an important branch of the plasma atomic spectrometry. Since the first use of microwave induced plasma(MIP) as an excitation source for spectral Chemical analysis by Broida and Chapmanin in 1958, especially the introduction of TM010 cavity by Beenakker in 1976 and of surfatron by Moisan in 1979 with which an atmospheric pressure helium MIPcould be obtained, MIPhas received considerable attention as a new excitation source for spectrometric analysis.

Key words: Microwave plasma torch, Atomic spectrometry, Mercury determination
