Description

A kind of detection method measuring polymer ultra trace radioactive background
Technical field
The invention belongs to analytical chemistry fields, are related to a kind of detection side measuring ultra trace radioactive background in polymer Method.
Background technology
(1) research background that radioactive background measures
Particle physics are as one of most important subject in front line science research, by the extensive concern of researcher. Wherein, neutrino research is play an important role in the research of international particle physics, is uniquely to have surpassing for experimental evidence so far The more new physics of particle physics master pattern, the origin to understand microscopic species structure and macrocosm provide abundant card with differentiation According to.So neutrino research becomes the object of modern scientific research worker research.The Chinese Daya Gulf neutrino experiment hair after 2012 After a kind of existing new neutrino concussion, second neutrino experiment plan will start to construct and implement in the end of the year 2014, the experiment work Make station the best site selection and be located at Jiangmen, is dedicated to making the neutrino detection of full accuracy, minimum background, maximum-norm in the world Device, thoroughly to open the mystery of neutrino mass sequence.
Currently, neutrino experiment station in Jiangmen is planned in the 700 meters of construction in underground, one large-scale experimental provision, including an appearance Receive 20kt liquid scintillators organic glass central detector and a small amount of corollary equipment.Organic glass spherical surface by 500 with On stainless steel support node, outer layer has nearly 20000 photomultipliers observation neutrinos and liquid scintillator medium mutual Act on the faint optical signal generated.It is prevalent in due to natural radioactive element in the surroundings of our lives, atom Core shakiness is permanent to be radiated with form of energy such as alpha ray, β rays and gamma-rays, meanwhile, there is also a large amount of in environment Cosmic ray, for the optical signal that the two generates considerably beyond neutrino signal, the detection of the micro- subsignal of centering causes serious background Interference.Therefore, it is necessary to the surrounding enviroment to neutrino detector to propose high request:1) it is built in very deep underground, passes through rock Layer stops a large amount of cosmic ray;2) intermediate using ultra-pure water as shielded layer, naturally radioactive in environment is stopped by water The decay ray of element.
In addition to this, in nuclear physics, particle physics, these fields of astroparticle physics, abundant experimental results show right For almost all of experiment, detector is the most serious by the interference of device materials radioactive background, such as U-238, Th-232, K-40, Co-60 etc..Alpha and beta decays can occur within the quite a long time for these radioactive isotopes, with production The optical signals such as raw gamma rays, such radioactive decay will become background example, it is sensitive to restrict neutrino detector naturally Degree and working efficiency, influence to test expected physical result.Obviously, complicated detector assembly is by organic glass, stainless steel The materials such as connector, photomultiplier and cable are built.And radioactive isotope U-238 in these materials, Th-232, K-40 and Co-60 have due to being prevalent in environment in links such as material production, processing, transport, detector assembly It may be introduced into.Currently, effective control about material for detector background also faces huge challenge, meanwhile, measure detection The radioactive background of device a variety of materials, and it will be a key subjects to filter out qualified material.
Under based on this research background, it is necessary to subterranean laboratory infrastructure and neutrino experiment detector system for we Material therefor carries out the measurement and assessment of radioactive background, provides advisory opinion for the selection of neutrino detector, searches out most Suitable material is as neutrino detection device.
(2) current situation of radioactive element measurement method
Since the nineties in 19th century finds radioactivity, radioactive element has important research valence in numerous subjects Value, such as:Life science, environmental science, geochronology and core application etc..Currently, about radioactive element measurement method Have very much, mainstream there are two big technologies:1) traditional radiometric analysis technology;2) on-radiation measures analytical technology:With Based on mass spectral analysis.
Traditional radiometric analysis technology is frequently used all the time, includes mainly following three aspects:α is counted Number, β are counted, γ is counted.For the measurement about ultra trace radioactive background in material of this subject study, the above method is all deposited In common drawback:1) instrumental sensitivity and detection limit limit the measurement of ultra trace radioactive background;2) analytical cycle is longer; 3) background noise is big;4) amount of samples is big;5) counting rate is low.Therefore, it fast and accurately measures and pays no attention in ultratrace element Think.
Method based on mass spectral analysis has very much, includes mainly:Spark source mass spectrometry (SSMS), laser ionization mass spectrography (LIMS), glow discharge spectrometry (GDMS), accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS), secondary ion Mass spectrography (SIMS), resonance ionization mass spectrometry (RIMS) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) etc..Wherein, ICP-MS has the characteristics that shirtsleeve operation mode and sampling system and rapid multi-element analysis, deep in actual analysis work Liked by analysis tester.ICP-MS is as the part in Inorganic Mass Spectrometry technology, because it has point of Ion Counting Analysis ability, to expand radioactive element analysis method.In general, radioactivity survey method obtain be sample radioactivity live Degree, that reflects the atomicities that radionuclide decays in the unit interval, are denoted as A, and unit is Becquerel (Bq).In fact, What radioactivity survey method measured is the product during nuclear rearrangement, rather than radionuclide itself.This method and mass spectrum The radionuclide concentration of measurement is completely different, however, due to nuclear rearrangement be by it is a kind of it is predictable in a manner of occur, so two kinds It can be established and be connected each other by following formula (1-1 or 1-2) between method.
In formula:M-element quality, g or gL-1
A-radioactive activity (rate of disintegration) Bq or BqL-1
M-molal weight, gmol-1
NA- Avgadro constant
λ-decay coefficient, s-1
t1/2- half-life period, s
ICP-MS, that is, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry), find that ICP is superior light source from early 1970s, to the ICP eighties with the powerful excellent of ion source The gesture advantage few with mass spectrograph high sensitivity, interference is combined, and it is inorganic to become a kind of trace ultra trace being acknowledged as most advantage Element analysis technology.It can be seen that ICP-MS technologies have been obtained for adequately agreeing from the academic article quantity emerged in multitude out It is fixed, while the development of the technology also reaches its maturity.From initially the research application of geology department be rapidly spread to environment, metallurgy, Numerous ambits such as oil, biology, medicine, semiconductor, nuclear material.Although ICP-MS technologies comparative maturity, related The research of Instrumental Analysis performance never stopped, and still had prodigious application prospects and development space.
ICP-MS analyzes the basic principle of radioactive activity:Sample introduces as a solution, is brought by carrier gas (argon gas) Atomization system is atomized, and the axial passage of center quarter bend is entered with aerosol form, the quilt under high temperature and atmosphere of inert gases Fully evaporation, dissociation, atomization and ionization, ion extract through lens system, enter mass analyzer, mass analyzer after focusing It is detached according to the different mass-to-charge ratio of ion.Ion signal is received by electron multiplier, amplified to be detected.According to ion Characteristic mass can the qualitative detection element presence or absence, and the ion intensity of flow of element is directly proportional to the concentration of the element, It can determine the quality of the element in sample.The quality (m) of target isotope is calculated by natural isotopic abundance, known The decay coefficient (λ) or half-life period (t of each radionuclide1/2) in the case of, it is converted by formula (1-1) or (1-2) required Radioactive activity (A).
ICP-MS analyzes advantage:Why ICP-MS is widely used in the measurement of radioactive element, with the distinctive analysis of instrument Performance is undivided:
1) high sensitivity, background are low, detection limit is low.As Modern Instrument Analytical Technique is studied and is improved, instrument is created Superior analytical performance.Such as:In terms of hot plasma high sensitivity pattern, ion lens focusing system and electron multiplier Improvement, not only substantially increase the sensitivity of instrument, but also background noise is also effectively reduced.Just because of sensitivity It is greatly reduced with the detection limit of the improvement of background, instrument.Therefore, this method is analyzed particularly suitable for trace and ultra trace elements.
2) ability of Simultaneous multi element analysis.Quadrupole rod mass analyzer, which provides, jumps peak scanning and multichannel scan mode, Multiple elements in same sample can be scanned and data acquire, substantially increased analysis efficiency, shorten analytical cycle.
3) relatively simple sample pre-treatments.ICP-MS uses the input mode of solution form, needs to carry out letter to sample The processing such as single acid is molten, clears up or melts.
4) sample feeding volume is few.The quick analysis etc. of the promotion of peristaltic pump, high nebulization efficiency and detector makes It is few to complete sample size needed for a sample analysis, about several milliliters.
5) linear dynamic range is wide.Modern instrument uses the discontinuous dynode electron multiplier of double mode, with pulse and mould Quasi- aspect measures same sample low concentration and the constituent content of high concentration simultaneously.The dynamic linear response range accurately detected is reachable The 8-9 order of magnitude brings great convenience to actual analysis test.
6) interference is few.The mass spectrogram of ICP-MS is fairly simple, and each element only generates single electricity of one or several isotopes Charge ions peak.But still have a small amount of double-charge ion and simple Polyatomic ion.Modern instrument is in addition in software Increase outside the measures such as interference correction formula and quality monitoring in design, advanced design is also taken in instrument hardware, for example adopt With technologies such as cold plasma, shielding torch, collision/reaction tanks.
Compared with radioactivity survey method, analytical technique of mass spectrum has its superiority.Table 1 composes mass spectrum and α to radioactivity Nucleic226Ra and239,240The measurement of Pu compares.Data can clearly be seen that from table:Analytical technique of mass spectrum is detecting There is significant advantage in the performances such as limit, sample analysis duration, amount of samples.

It should be noted that for containing HNO3Contain HNO with the volume of the aqueous solution of HCl3It is needed with the volume of the aqueous solution of HCl It strictly to control, which cannot be below ICP-MS test sampling volume 1mL, and the too big corresponding sample concentration of volume can reduce, The detection limit of instrument, which is not achieved, causes measurement result unreliable, so control is between 1-2mL.
The quality of polymer is set according to expected method detection limit, according to formulaWherein, SD- The standard deviation of 11 blank solution measured values;M-sampling amount
SD (U)=0.633pg, SD (Th)=1.39pg;It is expected that method detection limit 1pg/g, therefore sampling amount m is not less than 4.18g, to realize that 1pg/g accurate quantitative analysis, method quantitative limit LOQ=3.3LOD, therefore sampling amount m are not less than 13.9g, this Outside, a greater amount of sampling amounts not only increases the time needed for pre-treatment, but also can consume sample, therefore, considers, preferably takes Sample amount is 20g.Therefore, it is highly preferred that sampling amount is 20g.
It is also to be noted that the HNO as a preferred embodiment, in step (3)3Preceding elder generation is being used with HCl Purification is carried out respectively, to remove metal ion and solia particle in acid, to reduce reagent blank.Because through of the invention real Verification is real, and the acid reagent used in experimentation can bring larger blank if do not purified.The method of purification can be real Common regent purification method in room is tested, HNO is such as purified using sub-boiling distillation method respectively3And HCl;Embodiment party more preferably Formula, HNO3Carry out 3 sub-boiling distillation method purifications respectively with HCl.
In step (3), when acid solution is added, sidewall of crucible is uniformly soaked along sidewall of crucible, analysans is made to be dissolved into acid solution In.
In step (4), the crucible after addition acid solution is placed on electric hot plate, slightly boiling is heated to, further makes to wait for Analyte is fully dissolved into acid solution, and further, the temperature of heating is 100~200 DEG C;Preferably, heating temperature 150 ℃.ICP-MS instrument is may wait for after the completion of heating to be measured.
In step (5), the parameter of ICP-MS is preferably by following matched with inventive substrate and pre-treating method Scheme, in of the invention, as a preferred embodiment, ICP-MS instrument parameters are used by measuring U, Th;RF power: 1400~1700W;Flow rate of carrier gas:0.8~1.0L/min;Secondary air speed:0.7~0.9L/min;Cooling air flow velocity:13.0~ 15.0L/min;CCT flow velocitys:4.0-6.0mL/min;Measurement pattern is one kind in KED or STD.In a preferred embodiment In, select KED patterns.
It is highly preferred that the parameter of ICP-MS is RF power:1548.6W;Flow rate of carrier gas:0.930L/min;Secondary air speed: 0.795L/min;Cooling air flow velocity:13.88L/min;CCT flow velocitys:4.809mL/min.
For the analysis of the radioactive background of trace, blank value can also be increased by testing residing environment, through of the invention real Verification is real, and the environment blank of ten thousand grades of toilets is slightly more excellent than the environment blank value of common lab, the difference for the analysis of Th It is some larger.As a preferred embodiment, the entire detection method of the present invention carries out in ten thousand grades of clean rooms.
In addition, vessel pollution is very important factor, especially in terms of the measurement of super low loading, vessel material is often Certain influence, such as adsorption loss or capsule contamination etc. can be generated to element to be measured.In experiment, the detection of metal is come It says, in order to reduce this pollution, can generally use acid bubble, then clean again.In the present invention, and in this way, sample to be tested if any The container of machine glass, the possible basic sample to be tested such as silica crucible carries out sour bubble, then ultrapure washing before experiment.
Arnquist I J etc. have had measures the U and Th in some polymer using dry ashing method and ICP-MS, so And in its method, need dry ashing processing of the electroforming copper foil using ultralow background as container progress sample[2].However, Thus the resin column that also needed to brought removes copper removal, could carry out ICP-MS analyses.And copper foil itself has certain blank value, Through comparative example 1 of the present invention confirm that resin crosses column and also generate larger blank value, therefore, step is more to bring full procedure blank The problems such as high, detection limit for height, material damage to be detected etc., for the larger substance to be analyzed of content, this influence can be with It ignores, but this is totally unfavorable for extremely micro radioactive background analysis.In addition, the side of Arnquist I J In method,238U、232The detection line of Th can only achieve 1pg/g or more, and cannot reach in neutrino detector material 1pg/g with This lower measurement request.And in the present invention, the method detection limit of U, Th are below not only 1pg/g, even lower than 0.3pg/g. Wherein, the detection limit of U is lower compared to Th, down to 0.1pg/g (being shown in Table 3), shows that the method for the present invention has more the detection of U Advantage some, actual sample analysis in, the relative standard deviation of U is also below Th (table 4).
The present invention uses more easy processing method breakthroughly, obtains lower detection limit instead, this benefit Ingehious design between each step of the present invention and to the cleverly tradeoff in terms of a variety of materials selection, dosage.
For example, the present invention carries out coking processing as vessel using high-purity silica pot to sample, and multiple times are pure When the acid solution of change is redissolved, directly with the HNO of specific dosage3It is added in crucible and reheats with the aqueous solution of HCl, this A little schemes are all especially to study simultaneously ingehious design and selected, so that the present invention obtains detection sensitivity very outstanding And ease-to-operate.
The advantageous effect of the method for the present invention:
There is following advantage in sample pre-treatments:
1) advantage of the invention is that by polymer, the detection limit of nonvolatile metal is reduced up to 0.X pg/g levels, This is one for the detection of radioactive background and greatly breaks through because the detection method of the prior art be difficult to meet 1pg/g with Under measurement request radioactive background is required to be for harsh instrument, is urgent and for such as neutrino detector It is essential and wants a kind of extremely sensitive detection method.And the method for the present invention, the detection limit of radioactive background is reduced to 0.X Pg/g is horizontal, by carrying out the measurement to material radioactive background, filters out the detector research and development material for meeting desired physical considerations, can It is micro- in realization to achieve the purpose that improve neutrino detector signal-to-noise ratio to significantly decrease background example in detector experiment Effective detection of son makes major contribution for the mankind in the microcosmic particle physics rule of understanding, also will be to cosmology, celestial body object Reason or even geophysics make major contribution;

The two of 1 pre-treating method of comparative example:Micro-wave digestion-solid phase extraction
Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) grew a lot in recent years as a kind of enrichment method, was increasingly valued by people, Status in sample pre-treatments also becomes increasingly conspicuous.For two kinds of radioactive elements U, the Th studied in the present invention, have to it The resin of selective absorption has become commercialization product, and has lot of documents report about abstraction technique in radio chemistry Application.The technology can handle bulk sample, and can efficiently separation and concentration object.This experiment is carried out using ICP-MS Detection, in order to meet the Sample introduction mode of solution form, needs to carry out resolution processing to SOLID ORGANIC glass sample.Due to having Machine glass is a kind of organic polymer polymeric material, and general dissolution method and wet digestion are difficult to achieve the purpose that clear up completely. Therefore, make every effort to probe into a kind of suitable, effective, complete digestion procedure.With becoming increasingly popular for ICP-MS technologies, micro-wave digestion is close It is used widely in sample pre-treatments over year, keeps sample quick under higher temperature and pressure condition using microwave heating Dissolving.
Trial is handled it with micro-wave digestion inventor in an experiment, currently, laboratory possesses CEM MARS6 high Flux microwave dissolver can run 40 counteracting tanks simultaneously, and since each counteracting tank carrying sample size is limited, high throughput can batch Sample is handled, then the solution after resolution is mixed, to realize the purpose for increasing quantity of sample handling.Later, it selects solid Mutually the solution cleared up is carried out selective enrichment by the method for extraction (SPE), to improve the concentration of object element (U, Th), to Realize accurate detection.
This method has probed into the content in terms of following four:
Optimum condition in extraction process, the extraction process can be divided into four steps:Cleaning, absorption, purification, elution, In, it is the emphasis of this Solid Phase Extraction research to select suitable absorption and elution requirement.
Experimental procedure:The UTEVA resins that there is selective absorption to U, Th are selected, SPE columns are fabricated to, by extraction procedure figure Shown in 2, with 3M HNO3U, Th standard specimen for preparing 1 μ g/L known concentrations determine best extraction conditions by rate of recovery experiment.
Results and discussion
1) adsorption conditions
This experimental selection 3M HNO3As solution medium, 1 μ g/L mixed standard solutions solution after SPE column extractings is measured Concentration CInspection, calculate the adsorption percentage of U, Th in 1 μ g/L mixed standard solutions of UTEVA resins pair.Known to its result such as table 8: UTEVA resins to the absorption of U, Th close to 100%, therefore, with 3M HNO3As this experiment adsorption conditions, it can be achieved that U, Effective absorption of Th.
U, Th concentration in solution after UTEVA resins of table 8
2) elution requirement
Priority 0.02M HCl and 0.03M H are investigated2C2O4The effect of elution.The results are shown in Figure 3, for U, It can only be eluted completely with 0.02M HCl, the rate of recovery is up to 98%.And HCl at this time only has the elution of Th 81%, remaining 13% needs oxalic acid to continue to elute.Therefore, it draws the following conclusions:For the Th, the HCl of low concentration of 1 μ g/L levels Elution effect be not highly desirable, it is also necessary to oxalic acid further elutes.In this experiment, it is remaining why oxalic acid can elute Th is eluted because of complex compound is formed between oxalic acid and Th.However, the introducing of oxalic acid makes U, Th blank value (be shown in Table 9) it obviously increases, this is because caused by oxalic acid reagent purity factor, this experiment is measured and generates larger background interference.Synthesis is examined Consider:Although oxalic acid can improve the rate of recovery of Th, reagent blank is introduced simultaneously, runs counter to the measurement of this experiment low concentration. Therefore, select 0.02M HCl as the eluent of U and Th.
Table 9 priority HCl and H2C2O4Elute the blank value introduced
The sample size and corresponding micro-wave digestion program of each counteracting tank, by temperature, time, power in resolution program Optimization realize organic glass thoroughly clear up.
Experimental procedure:
1) sample pretreatment
Organic glass sample (15cm × 2cm × 3mm) is in strip, is cleared up completely to meet sample, it is desirable to obtain volume Small sample increases the contact area of reaction, and sample knock is granular.Again with 30% nitric acid dousing about 10min, clean table The mechanical admixture in face, finally uses ultrapure water three times, dries.
2) Specimen eliminating
The sample size of counteracting tank is related with sample type, the requirement of instrument usage criteria:Organic sample should be limited in 1g/ appearances Device.Organic glass is the polymer of methyl methacrylate monomer, it is more difficult to clear up, be cleared up using Microwave Digestion.It is grasped Make as follows:1. weighing the organic glass of 0.1g or so in polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) counteracting tank, 10mL concentrated nitric acids are added, places and disappears in advance Solution;2. tighten lid without significant reaction in pre- digestion process and be put into microwave dissolver, be arranged different micro-wave digestion programs into Row resolution;3. taking out counteracting tank after having cleared up, can opening, solution shows that Specimen eliminating is complete in clear;Acid is caught up with 4. being put into Acid is caught up in (180 DEG C) heating of instrument.
Results and discussion
Microwave dissolver is worked with temp-controled mode, since organic glass is mainly organic principle, it is contemplated that resolution Vigorous reaction may occur for process, and therefore, instrument Classic modes, manual setting Gradient program, it then follows such as are taken in this experiment Lower using priciple:Temperature ramping rates are no more than 10 DEG C/min, and power is determined according to the number of jar, pressure pan highest work temperature Degree is 210 DEG C (tolerable temperature is 260 DEG C).Establish three groups of gradient increased temperature programs, in order to slow down the violent of resolution reaction Degree.As shown in Fig. 4 programs A, B, C, after the completion of resolution, the case where digestion solution, is as shown in Figure 5.
It is analyzed in conjunction with Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, clear (a) is all presented in three groups of temperature programs A, B, C solution after having cleared up, but Add and found in water transfer process, white opacity (b) occurs in program A, B digestion solution, and clear (c) is presented in program C digestion solutions, very Obviously under the conditions of program A, B, organic glass fails thoroughly to clear up, the reason is that temperature and retention time are arranged in program A, B also It is insufficient to allow sample to clear up completely.For program C by increasing temperature and extending the time, clear (c) is presented in digestion solution, therefore selects Select resolution programs of the program C (table 10) as this experiment.

The analysis method for establishing micro-wave digestion-Solid Phase Extraction, from blank value, method detection limit and quantitative limit, assessment The validity that this method measures this experiment.
Experimental procedure
Weigh 6 parts, the organic glass sample (being accurate to 0.0001g) of every part of about 0.1g, respectively in 6 counteracting tanks, often 10mL concentrated nitric acids are added in part, and the resolution program probed by the second part clears up sample, and acid is caught up with after having cleared up, and evaporate 5mL 3M HNO are used after to close do3Multiple rinse counteracting tank, and the solution after 6 parts of rinses is merged and is collected, then through SPE columns (UTEVA resins) extracts, and is extracted with reference to the extraction conditions for the SPE columns that first part probes into.Finally, by eluent catch up with acid, Constant volume obtains a sample solution, waits for examination with computer to 1mL.Similarly, parallel sample solution is made as stated above and process is empty White solution, and analyzed.
Results and discussion
Linear relationship and method detection limit, the quantitative limit (micro-wave digestion-solid phase extraction) of table 11U, Th
Note:It is that be 1mL calculate 0.6000g constant volumes that method detection limit and quantitative limit, which are by sampling amount, in this experiment.
By data analysis in table 11, micro-wave digestion-solid phase extraction is in the concentration range of design, the linear correlation of U, Th Coefficient r is both greater than 0.999, shows in the concentration range, and instrument is all fine to the linear response of U, Th.U, Th in this method Instrument detection limit can reach 0.1ng/L, show that instrument is to can be achieved on ng/L horizontal measurements in theory, but method detection limit It is up to tens or hundreds of pg/g with quantitative limit, cannot be satisfied to U, Th content in organic glass in the accurate quantitative analysis of 1pg/g or so.
It investigates and optimizes three factors (vessel, environment and reagent) for influencing blank value.
Above-mentioned sample-pretreating method is further investigated, the original for causing experimental result to be unable to reach target is analyzed Cause.It is analyzed for this experiment ultratrace element, blank value is the key factor for influencing measurement result, is heavily dependent on The process and method of sample pre-treatments.The above-mentioned extraction probed into and Specimen eliminating process belong to sample pre-treatments, due to ICP- MS high sensitivities, so environment, the blank of vessel and reagent and pollution problem seem especially prominent in sample preparation procedure. On the basis of the resolution and extraction of foundation, the blank value introduced to sample pretreatment process measures.According to measurement result, specifically Analyze cause blank value higher factor, mainly from the aspect of environment, vessel and reagent three, and take appropriate mode into Row improves.Therefore, this trifle investigates the influence of reagent, environment and vessel to blank value respectively.
1) reagent
HNO3The maximum reagent of dosage in being both digestion solution and adsorbing medium or experimentation.Using sub-boiling distillation Method can remove metal ion and solia particle in nitric acid liquid, and to reduce reagent blank, this method is normal in laboratory Regent purification method.Similarly, hydrochloric acid can also further be purified using sub-boiling distillation method, but due to hydrochloric acid dosage seldom and Hydrochloric acid used has been OPTIMA ranks, therefore the influence to blank value can be ignored.This trifle high spot reviews are nitric acid Through repeatedly after purification to the influence of blank value.The results are shown in Figure 6.As seen from the figure, it is purified by 3 times, U, Th blank value have bright Aobvious downward trend, shows that sub-boiling distillation method can reduce reagent blank to a certain extent, non-to the measurement of super low loading element It is often significant.
2) environment
The natural radioactive element that this experiment measures has the characteristic of generally existing, is often distributed in the experiments such as air, dust In environment.Since sample pretreatment process is not completely enclosed, laboratory environment is certain to also will produce for blank value It influences.The blank value that two different experiments rooms are handled is compared by this trifle, as a result as shown in table 12, in ten thousand grades of clean rooms Obtained blank value is slightly better than common lab, therefore, it may be considered that (such as hundred grades of the higher laboratory of purity requirements Clean room) inner room completion sample treatment, so that experimental measurements is effectively improved.
The comparison of blank value under 12 different experiments environment of table
3) vessel
Vessel pollution is very important factor, and especially in terms of the measurement of super low loading, vessel material is often right Element to be measured generates certain influence, such as adsorption loss or capsule contamination etc..Therefore, it is necessary to also be carried out to vessel for this experiment It investigates.Table 13 compares the concentration of U, Th in solution before and after resolution, as can be seen from the table, the U in solution after resolution Concentration increase a magnitude, the concentration of Th also has to be increased by a small margin.It is obvious that the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) used in this experiment disappears The pollution that solution tank introduces in digestion process, makes measurement result generate larger systematic error, ultimately causes entire measure and is attributed to mistake It loses.Take 30%HNO3The cleaning methods such as soaked overnight, slack tank resolution attempt to improve the pollution problem that counteracting tank introduces, but all Have no significant results.Its reason may be that polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) high molecular material is porous structure, has wrapped up some impurity and has caused height It is constantly precipitated when warm reaction under high pressure.
Table 13 clears up the variation of U, Th blank value in front and back solution
This method brief summary:
The pre-treating method for establishing micro-wave digestion-Solid Phase Extraction realizes that ICP-MS measures U, Th:Utilize Solid Phase Extraction skill Art can improve the concentration of element, so as to improve method detection limit.The fiber material for selecting UTEVA resins to be enriched with as U, Th, Absorption and elution requirement are optimised, and are identified as 3M HNO3With 0.02M HCl.It is organic to design the progress of micro-wave digestion program Glass is cleared up, and finally found that 10mL concentrated nitric acids are added with 0.1g samples keeps 1h that can reach what sample was cleared up completely at 210 DEG C Purpose.In the method, the detection limit of U, Th are respectively 109pg/g, 13.4pg/g, and therefore, U, Th are not detected in organic glass. Investigate the influences of the factors to blank value such as environment, vessel, reagent, wherein the pollution that counteracting tank material (polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)) introduces It is the key factor for limiting this experiment measurement.
The three of 2 pre-treating method of comparative example:Super microwave method
Super microwave (UltraCLAVE) is the important technical innovation obtained in terms of micro-wave digestion in recent years, from Since the super microwave of First enters China within 2008, favored by many users.This is known as microwave best in the world Resolution instrument has broken the various limitations of conventional microwave resolution, is had the advantage that in terms of sample pre-treatments:1) sample handled Amount greatly increases:By single counteracting tank maximum sample amount up to 25g, or (77) realizations of large batch of sample are cleared up simultaneously; 2) sample of other digestion procedure difficulty resolutions can be cleared up under the conditions of high temperature, high pressure (260 DEG C, 200bar);3) with a batch resolution Different types of sample can be handled;4) with acid amount, there is no limit small with acid amount;5) digestion tube does not need pressure resistance, common examination Pipe, colorimetric cylinder can also be used;6) reaction is in high pressure N2It is carried out in atmosphere, avoids liquid boiling and element loss, contamination The generation of phenomenon.
Why this experiment selects super microwave to carry out sample pre-treatments, compares comparative example 1, super microwave list tank sampling amount Big sampling amount may be implemented in high an order of magnitude, not only increases analyte concentration, and the counteracting tank quantity needed is few, Reduce the blank value of container introducing.It is also reduced with acid amount simultaneously, reduces reagent blank.Super microwave method has superior point Performance is analysed, the blank value for solving the problems, such as to encounter in the practical measurement of comparative example 1 is expected to, finally realizes the accurate detection of U, Th.Table 14 list the analytical performance of conventional microwave and super microwave.
The comparison of 14 conventional microwave of table and super microwave analysis performance
For the organic glass sample of this experimental study, resolution processing is carried out using super microwave, it is also necessary to further visit Study carefully its maximum sampling amount, measured with acid, resolution program (temperature, pressure and time).Since super microwave is (heatproof, resistance to digestion tube Pressure energy power, mechanical strength) less-restrictive, it is contemplated that the blank interference that the counteracting tank of front polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) material introduces compared with Greatly, this section is in addition to choosing polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) material counteracting tank, and the counteracting tank for also having chosen high purity quartz material carries out analysis and examines It examines.Meanwhile U, Th measurement in organic glass are applicable in from blank value, method detection limit and quantitative limit to evaluate super microwave method Property.
This method has probed into the content of following three aspects:
For the organic glass sample of this experimental study, resolution processing is carried out using super microwave, further probes into it most Big sampling amount is measured, resolution program (temperature, pressure and time) with acid.
It is cleared up using super microwave.Its operating procedure is as follows:
1) sample of about 5.0000g is weighed in polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) counteracting tank, and 35mL concentrated nitric acids and 20mL ultra-pure waters is added, Place pre- resolution;
2) close the lid and be put into reaction under high pressure chamber without significant reaction in pre- digestion process, to cavity in be filled with N2Make just Beginning pressure is shown as 40bar, and resolution program is cleared up in setting table 15.
3) counteracting tank is taken out after having cleared up, is uncapped, drives oxides of nitrogen gas away, solution shows that sample disappears in clear Solution is complete.Temperature, pressure, changed power curve are as shown in Figure 7 in reaction process.
4) solution cleared up is put into and (180 DEG C) heating of sour instrument is caught up with to use 2%HNO when being evaporated to close dry3+ 0.5%HCl Constant volume is to be measured to 1mL.
The resolution program of 15 super microwave of table
The analysis method for establishing super microwave evaluates super microwave method from blank value, method detection limit and quantitative limit The applicability that U, Th in organic glass are measured.
Experimental procedure
2 parts are weighed, the organic glass sample (precise is accurate to 0.0001g) of every part of about 5g is cleared up at 2 respectively In tank, every part is added 35mL concentrated nitric acids and 20mL ultra-pure waters, is cleared up to sample by " 3.4.2 Specimen eliminatings ", and 2 parts are cleared up Solution afterwards mixes, and catches up with acid, and 2%HNO is used after being evaporated to close do3+ 0.5%HCl constant volumes are to be measured to 1mL.Similarly, it presses Parallel sample solution and process white solution is made in the above method, and is analyzed.
Results and discussion
When with super microwave treatment, the working curve of U, Th are as shown in table 16, and linearly dependent coefficient r is all higher than 0.999, Coincidence measurement requirement.The instrument detection limit that U, Th are obtained using this method is respectively 0.154ng/L, 0.370ng/L, method detection Limit is respectively 4.97pg/g, 8.88pg/g, and method quantitative limit is respectively 16.5pg/g, 29.6pg/g.Compared to micro-wave digestion-solid phase Extraction, the detection limit and quantitative limit of super microwave method have the tendency that being substantially reduced, and main cause is that sample size increases from 0.6g It is added to 10g, improves a most magnitude, therefore downward trend is apparent.But this method still fails to meet this experiment measurement and wants It asks.
Linear relationship and method detection limit, the quantitative limit (super microwave method) of table 16U, Th
Note:It is that be 1mL calculate 10g constant volumes that method detection limit and quantitative limit, which are by sampling amount, in this experiment.
Since super microwave is to the less-restrictive of digestion tube (heatproof, voltage endurance capability, mechanical strength), it is contemplated that front poly- four The blank interference that the counteracting tank of vinyl fluoride material introduces is larger, and this method is also selected in addition to choosing polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) material counteracting tank The counteracting tank of high purity quartz material has been taken to carry out analysis and investigation.
Using super microwave method measure the results show that polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) counteracting tank introduce pollution problem, be to cause sky The increased principal element of white value, to make method detection limit be deteriorated.Since super microwave requires less the material of counteracting tank, because This, considers to use the counteracting tank of high purity quartz material instead and be investigated to its blank value, as a result as shown in table 17, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Therefore tank uses quartzy tank instead with quartzy ullage white value no significant difference, blank value also fails to be effectively improved.
Influence of the 17 counteracting tank material of table to blank value
This method brief summary:
The pre-treating method for establishing super microwave realizes that ICP-MS measures U, Th:Super microwave overcomes traditional microwave pair Sour dosage and analysis time have been saved in the limitation of sample size and temperature.After optimizing resolution condition, 35mLHNO is added in 5g samples3With 20mLH2O, temperature, can be complete by Specimen eliminating less than 1h up to 255 DEG C.In the method, the detection limit of U, Th are respectively 4.97pg/g, 8.88pg/g, although detection limit is substantially reduced, not up to target.Investigate the blank value of this method, hair Existing counteracting tank (polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)) is still the limited resource of this method.The investigation that quartz digestion tank carries out blank value is chosen, It is not affected significantly.
It summarizes:
As people go deep into tera incognita exploration, the electronic device that R & D design comes out constantly is broken through in performance And innovation, it is measured including material radioactive background.Material radioactive background is often that constraint device sensitivity and work are imitated The key factor of rate, the measurement accordingly, with respect to radioactive background are operated in research from now on and can become increasingly conspicuous.Due to traditional Radioactivity survey sensitivity is relatively low, background bothers that big, the sample treatment period is long, the big equal difference of amount of samples analytical performance, It can not be obtained in actual measurement satisfied as a result, can be made up to the measurement of material radioactive background using ICP-MS methods above-mentioned Deficiency realizes simple, quick, accurate analysis.
Inventor during the experiment, to multiple experiment parameters of three kinds of pre-treating methods and each pre-treating method and Experiment condition has all carried out a large amount of analysis work, as a result, in three kinds of methods, only dry ashing method is by maximum sampling amount and most Low blank value meets the measurement request of ultra trace radioactive background.In the course of the research, inventor has found, in micro-wave digestion- In solid phase extraction and super microwave method, the counteracting tank of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) can bring larger blank value, even if using high-purity stone English counteracting tank, in super microwave method, blank value also fails to be effectively improved, and in dry ashing method, silica crucible to blank The influence of value is little.The reason of this is likely to be is that super microwave is carried out in the state of high temperature and pressure, at this time under concentrated acid Solution is fully acted on container, is increased the precipitation of container background, is increased blank.In addition, compared to micro-wave digestion-solid phase extraction and Super microwave method, dry ashing method have the superior analytical performances such as easy to operate, time saving and accuracy, precision be good, especially It is suitble to the measurement of ultratrace element in this experiment organic glass, substantive reference meaning is provided for ultralow sample-out count work See.Table 18 shows the comparison of three kinds of pre-treating methods, wherein the pre-treating method sensitivity of dry ashing method down to 1pg/g with Under, have for the radioactive background detection in material radioactive background especially neutrino detector material extremely important prominent Broken property progress, and analysis duration is most short in three kinds of pre-treating methods, only 2h.
Measurement for ultratrace element, especially sensitivity are down to 1pg/g analysis methods below, not only analysis method Selection, such as the selection of pre-treatment, the selection of analytical instrument;In addition, every single stepping in analysis method is likely to dividing The result of analysis causes strong influence, as sample size number, eluting solvent selection, the selection of container and residing analysis Environment etc. can all have an impact.Therefore, it is one of key that reasonably selection pre-treatment and analytical instrument, which are analysis methods, it Afterwards, especially reasonable design and linking are required to for each processing step, to realize accurate ultra trace analysis, these details The step of property, equally successfully plays a decisive role to ultra trace analysis.
