Description

Trace detection method of rare earth ions, terahertz metamaterial chemical sensor and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of trace detection of rare earth ions, in particular to a trace detection method of rare earth ions with high sensitivity and accurate detection, a terahertz metamaterial chemical sensor and application thereof.
Background
Rare earth elements refer to 15 elements (lanthanoids) of atomic numbers from 57 (La) to 71 (Lu) in the third subgroup of the periodic table of elements, and scandium (Sc) and yttrium (Y) which are similar in their electronic structure and chemical properties. Rare earth elements have characteristics such as large atomic magnetic moment and strong spin-orbit coupling due to their unique 4f electron structure, and are the subject of extensive attention and exploration in the scientific and industrial fields at present. With the massive development of rare earth resources, rare earth elements inevitably enter the ecological environment through various approaches. The rare earth concentration in biological samples (such as animals and plants) is generally in the ppm-ppb (1×10 -6–1×10-9) level; the rare earth concentration in environmental samples (e.g., atmosphere, water, soil, etc.) is on the order of ppm-ppt (1X 10 -6–1×10-12). The difficulty of rare earth detection is that the chemical properties are similar, so that the qualitative identification is difficult; and, as various disciplines develop, the lower limit of detection of rare earth impurities is required to be lower and lower, so that the accuracy and sensitivity of rare earth detection become critical.
The existing common rare earth ion detection methods mainly comprise an atomic absorption spectrometry, an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and a neutron activation analysis. The atomic absorption spectrometry is to irradiate an atomic vapor layer of a sample solution, which is atomized and atomized, with characteristic radiation emitted by the same kind of atoms, measure the transmitted light intensity or absorbance of the characteristic radiation, calculate the content of a measured element in the sample according to the relation of absorbance to concentration, and has the advantages of simple operation and quick analysis, but is easy to be interfered during the analysis of the mixture and is not suitable for the detection of mixed rare earth ions. The inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry is to take an inductively coupled plasma source as a high-temperature ion source to dissociate and atomize a sample, and to scan ions with specific element mass numbers by a mass spectrometer so as to determine the rare earth ion type and content, and has the advantages of high sensitivity and simultaneous detection of multiple elements, but the instrument has high price, and complex and time-consuming sample pretreatment and enrichment process. The neutron activation analysis method utilizes neutrons to bombard isotopes of rare earth elements in a sample to carry out nuclear reaction, and carries out qualitative and quantitative analysis of the rare earth elements through transient gamma generated by measurement, so that the method has the advantages of high sensitivity and high accuracy, but the detection accuracy is easily interfered by uranium elements, and the sample preparation process is tedious and time-consuming. In summary, the existing rare earth ion detection technology has the problems of long time consumption, expensive instrument, complex sample processing and the like, so that a quick, efficient and accurate technology is necessary to be explored for detecting rare earth ions.

S2: dropping a rare earth ion sample to be detected on the surface of the terahertz metamaterial chemical sensor, then washing the sample by deionized water to remove other interferents in the sample, and drying the sample in vacuum to remove free water molecules contained in the sample;
s3: fixing a terahertz metamaterial chemical sensor with rare earth ions loaded on the surface on a sample rack according to the polarization direction requirement, measuring the absorption spectrum of the terahertz metamaterial chemical sensor by using a terahertz detection module, and recording the absorption spectrum by using a data processing and display module;
