Description

Gas-phase pollutant all-species high-sensitivity online mass spectrometer and detection method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of mass spectrometry technology development, in particular to a high-sensitivity mass spectrometer with detection indexes covering all atmosphere organic and inorganic polluted gases and a detection method.
Background
Mass spectrometry is a method for analyzing chemical components of substances, and molecular structure information of the substances is determined through ion mass-to-charge ratio and ion abundance, and various substances can be ionized and detected by matching different ionization sources. Mass spectrometry techniques commonly used to detect gas phase materials mainly include electron ionization mass spectrometry, proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry, and single photon ionization mass spectrometry. Electron ionization usually uses electron beams with 70eV energy to bombard neutral molecules to ionize, and in theory, all organic and inorganic gases can be ionized, but the high vacuum environment suitable for the electron ionization technology leads to lower detection sensitivity of electron ionization mass spectrometry for directly detecting gas-phase species, and cannot meet the detection requirements of most low-concentration volatile organic matters in ambient air. Proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry with high detection sensitivity utilizes hydronium ions (H 3 O + ) The ionic type proton transfer reaction with the object to be detected can only protonate the substance with proton affinity greater than water, and can not detect some small molecular hydrocarbon and inorganic substances with proton affinity smaller than water. Single photon ionization is a threshold ionization in which a molecule is directly ionized by absorbing a single photon when the photon energy is equal to or higher than the ionization energy of the molecule. Single photon ionization mass spectrometry generally uses a vacuum ultraviolet lamp as a light source, and the principle of luminescence is: the rare gas is excited by using a direct current or radio frequency electric field to generate excited state atoms or excimer molecules, and the excited state atoms or excimer molecules radiate absorbed energy in the form of photons when spontaneously transiting to a ground state. The main luminescent medium gases are helium (58.4 nm), neon (74.4 nm), argon (106.7 nm), krypton (123.6 nm) and xenon (147.6 nm). In order to transmit vacuum ultraviolet light and maintain the pressure of rare gas in the discharge chamber, the vacuum ultraviolet lamp generally uses a magnesium fluoride window as a light outlet. Through many years of technical innovation, high-flux vacuum ultraviolet lamps and high-pressure ion sources and single light are developedThe detection sensitivity of the ionization mass spectrum is greatly improved, and the ionization mass spectrum is successfully used for on-line monitoring of volatile organic compounds in ambient air. However, since the crystal structure of the window can only transmit light above 110nm, the conventional single photon ionization source generally discharges with krypton, the photon energy generated is 10.0eV and 10.6eV, and the ionization and detection cannot be effectively performed on organic or inorganic matters with ionization energy exceeding 10.6 eV. Therefore, the existing mass spectrometry technology for directly detecting gas-phase substances cannot realize full-coverage high-sensitivity detection of organic and inorganic polluted gases in ambient air due to the limitation of ionization modes.
