Description

Ultraviolet laser probe sulfide sulfur isotope micro-region in-situ analysis system and method
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of sulfur isotope analysis, and particularly relates to an ultraviolet laser probe sulfide sulfur isotope micro-region in-situ analysis system and method.
Background
The traditional laser probe sulfide sulfur isotope micro-region in-situ analysis method adopts the combination of laser and gas isotope ratio mass spectrometry, and the principle is mainly that O is adopted 2 /F 2 /BrF 5 In the atmosphere, the infrared laser beam is focused on a micro area on the surface of the sulfide sample, and the sample is rapidly heated by the laser beam, SO that the sulfide micro area is heated, melted, gasified and reacted with oxygen or a fluorinating agent to form SO 2 (2FeS 2 +5O 2 =2FeO+4SO 2 ) Or SF (sulfur hexafluoride) 6 (2FeS 2 +15F 2 =2FeF 3 +4SF 6 ) Gas, SO 2 /SF 6 After the gas is purified and separated by gas chromatography, the gas is led into a gas isotope mass spectrometer sampling system to measure the sulfur isotope composition.
The traditional laser probe micro-region in-situ sulfur isotope analysis technology at present encounters the following technical barriers that are difficult to surmount: (1) laser performance: the effect of laser in the traditional laser probe is micro-zone heating, so that most of adopted laser is infrared laser, the thermal effect of the infrared laser is obvious, obvious fractionation can be generated in the process of micro-zone in-situ heating decomposition and corrosion of a sample, the accuracy of an analysis result is seriously affected, and the accuracy correction is difficult. (2) incomplete reaction: in the process of heating/melting the sample by laser, the reaction of the heated/melted substances is incomplete due to temperature gradient, boundary effect and the like, obvious fractionation occurs, and accurate correction is difficult. (3) reacting the reagent with the matrix component: during laser heating/ablation, the oxidant (O 2 ) Fluorinating agent (F) 2 /BrF 5 ) Not only with the heated/eroded material, but also with unetched components outside the heated zoneThe background is raised, the accuracy of analysis results is obviously affected, and although the former adopts a plurality of measures such as prefluorination, the background is still difficult to thoroughly eliminate. The factors restrict the further improvement of the precision and accuracy of the traditional laser probe stable isotope micro-area in-situ analysis technology, and the requirement of the modern stable isotope micro-area in-situ measurement is difficult to meet, so that the analysis method has been created in 1986 and has not been widely popularized so far.
In addition, two other stable isotope micro-area in-situ analysis technologies are currently applied at home and abroad: (1) Secondary ion probe mass spectrometry (SIMS) micro-area in situ analysis techniques and (2) laser ablation multi-receive inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-MC-ICPMS) micro-area in situ analysis techniques. SIMS is expensive and limited in number; the matrix effect is obvious, the analysis sample is required to be strictly matched with the standard, and the isotope standard substance for in-situ analysis of the micro-region is very rare, so that the development difficulty is high. The factors in the two aspects restrict the large-area popularization and application of the ion probe micro-area in-situ isotope analysis technology. The laser ablation multi-receiving inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-MC-ICPMS) micro-region in-situ isotope analysis technology has obvious mass discrimination effect and more interference ions, and also faces the problems of rare isotope standard substances and easy pollution during measuring the micro-region in-situ sulfur isotopes.

ablating sulfide aerosol particles from the sulfide-containing sample using 193nm excimer laser 101;
carrying the degraded sulfide aerosol particles into trace SO by using He airflow 2 In the gas preparation device 200, SO-containing gas is obtained after high-temperature oxidation reaction 2 A gas mixture;
SO 2 The gas collection and purification device 300 is used for supplying SO-containing gas 2 The gas mixture is enriched and purified twice to obtain the target SO 2 A gas;
target SO 2 The gas enters the gas isotope ratio mass spectrometer 500 through the micro-split interface 400 under the carrying of the back-blowing helium gas flow, and the test result is obtained.
The detailed test steps of the ultraviolet laser probe sulfide sulfur isotope micro-area in-situ analysis method are as follows:
(1) Starting the testing instrument, firstly adjusting the first six-way valve 301 to a load mode, adjusting the second six-way valve 303 to an object mode, immersing the first cold trap 302 into a first liquid nitrogen barrel, and at the moment, obtaining the purity in the laboratory steel bottle>99.999% SO 2 The gas enters an ion source through a mass spectrometer double-way sample injection system 600 to be used as reference gas for sulfur isotope test, and meanwhile, the condition parameters of the beam spot diameter of 80 mu m and the denudation time of 30s are selected for single-point denudation.
(2) Sulfide aerosol particles are stripped from sulfide-containing samples in a single sample cell 102 by using a 193nm excimer laser 101, the sulfide aerosol particles stripped by the laser are carried into a reaction tube by He air flow with the flow speed of 150ml/min through a Teflon tube, and SO is generated by high-temperature combustion of the sulfide aerosol particles in an oxygen-injected atmosphere 3 And SO 2 The reaction temperature in the reaction tube is 1020 ℃, the oxygen injection time is 40s, and the flow rate is 20mL/min; SO (SO) 3 Complete reduction to SO by copper particles 2 After the gas, the target SO is contained 2 The mixed gas of the gases enters a first cold trap 302 to be collected under the purging of He gas, the collection time in the first cold trap 302 is 300s, and the target SO is completed 2 And (5) primary enrichment and purification of gas.
(3) Then the first six-way valve 301 is switched to the object mode, the second six-way valve 303 is switched to the load mode, the first cold trap 302 is lifted, the second cold trap 304 is lowered and immersed in the second liquid nitrogen barrel, or the second cold trap 304 is immersed in the second liquid nitrogen barrel before that; the first heating device is activated and the enriched SO is frozen in the first cold trap 302 2 The heated sublimated SO gas is sublimated into gas, and the first path of back-blowing helium gas flow 307 passes through the first six-way valve 301 to sublimate the SO gas in the first cold trap 302 2 The gas is carried and frozen and enriched in the second cold trap 304 to complete the target SO 2 And (3) enriching and purifying the gas for the second time.
(4) Completing the target SO in the second cold trap 304 2 After the second enrichment and purification of the gas, the second six-way valve 303 is switched to an object mode, the second heating device is started after the second cold trap 304 is lifted, the secondFreezing enriched SO in cold trap 304 2 Sublimating into gas by heating SO 2 The gas is carried by the second flow of back-flushing helium 308 through the low flow channel (LF) of the micro-split interface 400 and finally enters the gas isotope ratio mass spectrometer 500 for detection, resulting in a test result.

However, during the actual test, if the flow rate of the second back-blowing helium flow is too low, it is found that the second back-blowing helium flow is unfavorable for raising SO 2 The utilization rate and sensitivity are also reduced, which is due to: the shunt interface is open and is communicated with the atmosphere, and the background is raised due to the too low flow rate, SO that the SO is caused 2 Dispersing, which is unfavorable for the promotion of SO 2 The utilization of (c) may lead to a decrease in the analysis accuracy. Through a large amount of experimental data, it is verified that the flow rate of the second back-blowing helium flow 308 is 2.2-2.8mL/min, preferably 2.5mL/min, as the optimal parameter, under which SO is generated 2 The utilization rate and the test precision of the test result are both optimal.
Because the laser ablation system, the element analyzer and the mass spectrometer are all signal emitting devices at present and can not receive signals to finish instructions, full-automatic sample measurement is challenged. Based on the above, the embodiment completes the coordination of laser ablation, micro shunt interface start and sample sulfur isotope mass spectrometry according to the time difference, realizes automatic online analysis, namely the laser ablation system sets 870s waiting time after each ablation task is completed, and simultaneously prolongs 300s to effectively reduce SO 2 Memory effect of gas, overall mass spectrometry process about 900s, refer to fig. 8.
