Technical field
The invention belongs to nanometer detection technical field, be specifically related to the method for a kind of silver nano-grain as colorimetric and fluorescence probe detection mercury ion.
Background technology
Along with economic fast development, a large amount of undressed waste water, waste residue are discharged in rivers and lake, cause water body to be polluted.Mainly heavy metal ion through checking its pollutant, for heavy metal ion (mercury Hg
2+; Plumbous Pb
2+; Cadmium Cd
2+; Copper Cu
2+), particularly mercury, cadmium, lead, copper etc. have significant bio-toxicity.They can not be degraded by microorganisms in water body, various chemical forms can only occur and mutually transform and move.After entered environment or the ecosystem, will retain, accumulate and move, work the mischief.Wherein, mercury is ubiquitous high toxicity in environment, human health is had to an objectionable impurities of very big impact.From physiology, the steam of mercury metal and organomercurial derivant (as methyl mercury) all can produce injurious effects to a lot of aspects of the mankind's the brain physical function relevant with other.Inorganic mercury can be changed into methyl mercury by the bacterium in environment, and the mercury pollution of this form can pass to or be gathered in more higher leveled organic-biological body by food chain.And the organs such as the heart of inorganic mercury energy loss victimization class, kidney, stomach, intestines.Water miscible dimercurion (Hg
2+) be the most general and the most stable one in various forms of mercury pollution materials, it is the major way of water environment and soil pollution.Therefore, the water miscible Hg in environment
2+detection and monitoring be necessary.Traditional method for example Inductively coupled plasma method for detection of mercury ion, normally high flow rate, can not be portable, need complicated instrumental analysis.Therefore, realize real-time detection and the original position fast detecting of the mercury ion in environmental area or biosome, and reach higher sensitivity and be of great significance and considerable application prospect.
In recent years, researchist is to develop simple and effective Hg
2+detection means is target, and a collection of device with highly sensitive high selectivity is respectively based on gold, silver nano particle, fluorophor, DNA or DNA enzyme, polymeric material and protein etc.In these devices, the detection elements of many devices is thymine mispairing structures of existing in the nucleotide chain being based upon based on comprising thymine (T), utilize mispairing thymine can with Hg
2+form stable structure and detect Hg
