Description

High-electron-utilization-rate low-energy ionization device, mass spectrum system and method
Technical Field
The embodiment of the invention relates to the technical field of mass spectrometry, in particular to a high-electron-utilization-rate low-energy ionization device, a mass spectrometry system and a mass spectrometry method.
Background
Mass spectrometry is one of the most basic instruments for researching the basic composition, structural characteristics, physical and chemical properties of substances, is a necessary instrument in the fields of life science, material science, food safety, environmental protection and the like, and is the core of modern analytical instruments. Along with the development of industries such as petrochemical industry, electric power industry, metallurgy industry, coal chemical industry and the like, the requirements of the process industry on-line gas monitoring and control technology are higher and higher, and the key for implementing efficient control on the process technology is to acquire data of process gas components in real time, quickly and accurately. Due to the limitation of application technology, the analysis of gas components in the traditional process industry generally adopts a chromatographic analysis system. Although the chromatographic analysis system can meet part of requirements of process control, the chromatographic analysis system has obvious defects, such as low analysis speed, no real-time online performance, poor universality and the like. In addition, some real-time monitoring techniques, such as spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, are also used in process industrial gas analysis. Compared with a spectrum analyzer, the online process gas mass analyzer has the characteristics of high sensitivity, broad-spectrum non-specificity, capability of simultaneously performing multi-channel detection and the like, and has greater potential and wider development space in online gas analysis in the process industry.
On-line process gas mass spectrometers mostly use hard ionization sources, i.e. electron bombardment ionization sources of 70 eV. The ionization of the gas molecules is realized by bombarding the gas molecules to be measured by the electron beams with 70eV, and because the ionization energy is far higher than the first ionization energy of the gas components to be measured, the excessive energy can cause the breakage of multiple bonds of the molecules or the rearrangement of the molecules, and a great amount of fragment ions can be generated while generating molecular ions. When multi-component gas to be detected is directly injected without separation, a large number of fragment ions of various components are overlapped on a spectrogram, as shown in fig. 8, and the overlapped spectral peaks increase the difficulty of quantitative detection. Soft ionization techniques can reduce or avoid the problem of fragment overlapping peaks, however, conventional soft ionization techniques such as chemical ionization sources require the use of an ionization buffer gas, such as methane, which is typically the gas to be measured in the process industry, and thus, chemical ionization sources are not suitable for use in online process gas mass spectrometry. In addition, another soft ionization source, the ultraviolet ionization source, has a constant electron energy, such as 10.6eV, which is commonly used, and cannot ionize substances with ionization energy higher than this value, and therefore, has certain defects. In addition, most electron bombardment ionization sources used in the process of mass spectrometry adopt a mode of opening a slit on an ionization chamber for electrons to enter the ionization chamber, but by adopting the mode, a large number of electrons directly strike the outer wall of the ionization chamber and cannot enter the inside of the ionization chamber for ionization of gas molecules, so that the electron utilization rate is low.
In summary, it is a problem to be solved in the art how to reduce fragment ions as much as possible during the over-formation of the gas component analysis, so as to achieve the chromatographic separation effect during the detection process and improve the electron utilization rate during the ionization process.

Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a flow chart of an implementation of a mass spectrometry method in an embodiment of the present invention, including:

for each gas in the gas to be analyzed, selecting the maximum ionization energy of a fragment ion peak disappearance critical point as the analysis ionization energy of each gas;
and selecting the lowest analytical ionization energy in the analytical ionization energies of each gas as the final analytical ionization energy of the gas to be analyzed.

carbon dioxide fragment ion peak 701, ionization energy at critical point 702, mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) axis, ionization energy (ev) axis, and CO2Signal relative intensity (%) axis. As can be seen from the figure, at the ionization energy 702(24eV) of the critical point, the carbon dioxide fragment ion peak 701 almost disappears, so 24eV is taken as the analytical ionization energy of carbon dioxide.
The invention adopts the electric field with lower energy, and has the advantage of less fragment ions after ionization compared with the traditional high-energy electric field. In the mixed gas, the situation that excessive gas fragment ions overlap each other on a spectrogram occurs, so that the difficulty of quantitative detection of the components of the mixed gas is increased. Referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a mass spectrum of the analyte molecule after ionization under the high-energy electric field in the prior art, which includes:
example mass columns 801, carbon dioxide, neon, water, nitrogen, argon, carbon monoxide, oxygen, hydrogen, mass (m) axis, and relative intensity (%) axis. As can be seen from the figure, three gases of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and carbon monoxide are superimposed on the exemplary mass column 801, and other mass columns in a similar manner exist. Thus, the prior art is unable to detect the composition of a gas without the addition of chromatographic techniques.
Referring to fig. 9, fig. 9 is a mass spectrum generated under a low-energy electric field in an embodiment of the present invention, which includes:
a mass spectrum 901 at a final analytical ionization energy of 70eV, a mass spectrum 902 at a final analytical ionization energy of 22eV, a mass (m) axis, and a relative intensity (%) axis. Comparing the mass spectrum 901 at the final analysis ionization energy of 70eV with the mass spectrum 902 at the final analysis ionization energy of 22eV, it can be known that more gas molecules form fragment ions during electron bombardment at the analysis ionization energy of 70 eV. For example, in the mass spectrum 902 at a final analytical ionization energy of 22eV, the relative intensity of the gas with mass 44 is significantly higher than that in the mass spectrum 901 at a final analytical ionization energy of 70 eV. This is because a portion of the gas molecules of mass 44 under the high energy electric field undergo intramolecular bond breakage upon electron bombardment, forming fragment ions of masses 28 and 16. From this, it is found that the mass spectrum under a low-energy electric field has a small number of fragment ions, and the mixture gas components are analyzed without introducing a chromatographic analysis.
Finally, it should be noted that: the above examples are only intended to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, but not to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments may still be modified, or some technical features may be equivalently replaced; and such modifications or substitutions do not depart from the spirit and scope of the corresponding technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
