Description
本発明は、溶液中における微量な金属等の分析を行う質量分析方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a mass spectrometry method for analyzing a trace amount of metal or the like in a solution.
各種の排水や河川水、海水等の溶液中における金属元素の含有量を測定することは、環境管理上、極めて重要である。このような溶液中における微量の金属元素等の分析を行うための分析方法として、ＩＣＰ（Ｉｎｄｕｃｔｉｖｅｌｙ Ｃｏｕｐｌｅｄ Ｐｌａｓｍａ：誘導結合プラズマ）質量分析法：ＩＣＰ−ＭＳが知られている。ＩＣＰ−ＭＳにおいては、誘導結合プラズマ化されたガス（例えばＡｒ）中に、直接の分析対象となる溶液がエアロゾル化されて噴射されることによって、溶液中の物質がイオン化される。このイオンの軌道が質量電荷比毎に分離されるような電磁場を印加し、イオンを特定の質量電荷比毎に分離して検出することができる。同様にＩＣＰ化された元素からの発光分析を行うことにより元素の分析を行うＩＣＰ−ＯＥＳ（ＩＣＰ発光分光分析）と比べて、ＩＣＰ−ＭＳにおいては、より微量の金属等を高い精度で分析することができる。 It is extremely important in terms of environmental management to measure the content of metal elements in various kinds of wastewater, river water, seawater, and other solutions. An ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) mass spectrometry: ICP-MS is known as an analytical method for analyzing a trace amount of metal elements in such a solution. In ICP-MS, a solution to be analyzed directly is aerosolized and injected into a gas (for example, Ar) that has been inductively coupled to plasma, so that the substance in the solution is ionized. By applying an electromagnetic field such that the trajectories of the ions are separated by the mass-to-charge ratio, the ions can be separated by the specific mass-to-charge ratio and detected. Similarly, as compared with ICP-OES (ICP emission spectroscopic analysis), which analyzes elements by performing emission analysis from ICP-converted elements, in ICP-MS, a trace amount of metal or the like is analyzed with high accuracy. be able to.
例えば、特許文献１には、蛍石（主成分ＣａＦ２）に対する不純物分析を行う際に、ＩＣＰ−ＭＳを適用することが記載されている。ここで、分析対象となる元素は、蛍石の光学特性に影響を与える元素であり、主に希土類元素である。この際、キレート樹脂を用いて被測定元素の濃度を濃縮してからＩＣＰ−ＭＳを適用することによって、数十ｐｐｂ以下の濃度の被測定元素を検出することができる。 For example, Patent Document 1 describes applying ICP-MS when performing impurity analysis on fluorite (main component CaF 2 ). Here, the element to be analyzed is an element that affects the optical characteristics of fluorite, and is mainly a rare earth element. At this time, by concentrating the concentration of the element to be measured using a chelate resin and then applying ICP-MS, the element to be measured having a concentration of several tens of ppb or less can be detected.
河川や海水中に排出される様々な排水（廃液）中における金属元素（亜鉛、銅等）の濃度の上限値は法的に定められているため、排水中におけるこうした金属元素の分析は極めて重要である。しかしながら、一般的に、こうした排水においては、酸（硫酸等）成分も含まれる場合がある。また、この排水が排出に至るまでの途中の工程においては、酸成分が含まれる場合が多く、この場合においても金属元素の分析が必要となる場合も多い。こうした場合においては、酸に起因して金属元素イオンの質量数と同一あるいは近い質量数をもつイオン（妨害イオン）が生成される場合があり、金属元素イオンと同時にこの妨害イオンも区別なく検出されるため、この金属元素を正確に認識することが困難であった。 Since the upper limit of the concentration of metal elements (zinc, copper, etc.) in various wastewater (waste liquid) discharged into rivers and seawater is legally determined, analysis of such metal elements in wastewater is extremely important. Is. However, in general, such waste water may also contain an acid (sulfuric acid, etc.) component. Further, in the process on the way to the discharge of the waste water, an acid component is often contained, and in this case also, it is often necessary to analyze the metal element. In such a case, an ion (interfering ion) having a mass number equal to or close to the mass number of the metal element ion may be generated due to the acid, and at the same time as the metal element ion, the interfering ion is detected without distinction. Therefore, it is difficult to accurately recognize this metal element.
すなわち、被測定元素（金属元素）と妨害物質（酸）とが共存する溶液中で、被測定元素の質量分析を高精度で行うことは困難であった。 That is, it was difficult to perform mass spectrometry of the element to be measured with high accuracy in a solution in which the element to be measured (metal element) and the interfering substance (acid) coexist.
本発明は、かかる問題点に鑑みてなされたものであり、上記問題点を解決する発明を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide an invention that solves the above problems.

The present invention has the following configurations in order to solve the above problems.
The mass spectrometric method of the present invention is a mass spectrometric method in which an element to be measured contained in a sample solution containing an acid other than nitric acid is analyzed by ICP mass spectrometry, and the element to be measured is at least one of zinc and copper . The chelate adsorption step of adsorbing the element to be measured to the chelate resin by passing the sample solution through the chelate resin that selectively adsorbs the element to be measured, and after the chelate adsorption step An eluate containing nitric acid is passed through the chelate resin, an elution step of eluting the element to be measured adsorbed by the chelate resin into the eluate, and the eluate after passing through Mass spectrometric step for performing ICP mass spectrometric analysis.

In the mass spectrometric method of the present invention, the sample solution is any one of river water, sea water, pulp waste liquid, pulping process liquid, tap water, and ion-exchanged water.
本発明は以上のように構成されているので、被測定元素と妨害物質とが共存する溶液中で、被測定元素の質量分析を高精度で行うことができる。 Since the present invention is configured as described above, mass spectrometry of an element to be measured can be performed with high accuracy in a solution in which the element to be measured and an interfering substance coexist.
以下、本発明の実施の形態に係る質量分析方法について説明する。この質量分析方法は、分析対象となる溶液（試料溶液）中の金属元素を被測定元素とし、最終的な被測定元素の検出は、ＩＣＰ−ＭＳ（ＩＣＰ質量分析）を用いて行われる。特に、ＩＣＰ−ＭＳにおいて直接分析される溶液の作成手順、あるいは溶液の前処理に特徴を有する。 Hereinafter, the mass spectrometric method according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. In this mass spectrometric method, the metal element in the solution (sample solution) to be analyzed is the element to be measured, and the final detection of the element to be measured is performed using ICP-MS (ICP mass spectrometry). In particular, it is characterized by a procedure for preparing a solution to be directly analyzed by ICP-MS or a pretreatment of the solution.
ここで、被測定元素となる金属元素は、亜鉛（Ｚｎ）、銅（Ｃｕ）、ニッケル（Ｎｉ）、コバルト（Ｃｏ）、鉄（Ｆｅ）、マンガン（Ｍｎ）、カドミウム（Ｃｄ）のいずれかであり、特にこれらが排水中に含まれる場合には、環境管理上、その濃度の上限が制限される。なお、これらの元素は最終的にはＩＣＰ−ＭＳによって検出（分析）されるが、この際に、これらのうちの複数が混在していても、各々をそれぞれ高精度で分析することができる。 Here, the metal element to be measured is any one of zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), and cadmium (Cd). Yes, especially when these are contained in the waste water, the upper limit of the concentration is limited in environmental management. Although these elements are finally detected (analyzed) by ICP-MS, at this time, even if a plurality of these elements are mixed, each can be analyzed with high accuracy.
ここで、ＩＣＰ−ＭＳでは、質量電荷比毎に検出がなされるが、ＩＣＰで生成されるイオンは主に１価の正イオンであるため、イオンの質量電荷比はほぼ質量数（イオンの質量）に対応する。このため、ここでは、イオンの種類が質量数毎に分離、測定されるが、上記の金属元素単体のイオンの質量数と、この金属元素とは異なる複数の原子が結びついた化合物や分子のイオンの質量数とが、同一もしくは近くなる場合がある。 Here, in the ICP-MS, detection is performed for each mass-to-charge ratio, but since the ions generated in the ICP are mainly monovalent positive ions, the mass-to-charge ratio of the ions is almost the mass number (the mass of the ions). ) Corresponds to. Therefore, here, the types of ions are separated and measured for each mass number, but the mass number of the ion of the above metal element simple substance, and the ion of a compound or molecule in which a plurality of atoms different from this metal element are bound May be the same as or close to the mass number of.
この際、Ｚｎの安定な同位体は、主に６４Ｚｎ、６６Ｚｎ、６７Ｚｎ、６８Ｚｎ、７０Ｚｎである。同様に、Ｃｕの安定な同位体は、主に６３Ｃｕ、６５Ｃｕである。ＩＣＰ−ＭＳにおいては、これらのうちで、存在比率が高く、かつ原子番号が近接する元素の同位体と重複のないものが好ましく用いられ、例えばＺｎの検出対象としては６６Ｚｎ、Ｃｕの検出対象としては６３Ｃｕが好ましく用いられる。 At this time, stable isotopes of Zn are mainly 64 Zn, 66 Zn, 67 Zn, 68 Zn, and 70 Zn. Similarly, the stable isotopes of Cu are mainly 63 Cu and 65 Cu. In ICP-MS, among these, those having a high abundance ratio and having no overlap with isotopes of elements having atomic numbers close to each other are preferably used. For example, Zn detection targets are 66 Zn and Cu detection targets. For this, 63 Cu is preferably used.
これらに近い質量をもち溶液中に存在する妨害イオンとなりうるのは、ＣｌＯ２ ＋（質量が６７程度）、ＳＯ２ ＋（質量が約６４程度）、Ｓ２ ＋（質量が６４程度）、ＰＯ２ ＋（質量が６３程度）等である。ＣｌＯ２ ＋は塩酸（ＨＣｌ）成分の存在により、ＳＯ２ ＋、Ｓ２ ＋は硫酸（Ｈ２ＳＯ４）成分の存在により、ＰＯ２ ＋はリン酸（Ｈ３ＰＯ４）成分の存在により、試料溶液中に存在しうる。このため、塩酸、硫酸、リン酸等が存在する溶液中においては、これらの妨害イオンがＺｎイオンやＣｕイオンと区別されずに検出され、ＺｎやＣｕの濃度が高めに算出される場合がある。すなわち、これらの酸の存在下ではＺｎやＣｕを高精度で検出することが難しくなる。 Interfering ions having a mass close to these and existing in a solution may be ClO 2 + (mass of about 67), SO 2 + (mass of about 64), S 2 + (mass of about 64), PO 2 + (about mass 63), and the like. ClO 2 + is due to the presence of a hydrochloric acid (HCl) component, SO 2 + is present , S 2 + is due to the presence of a sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ) component, and PO 2 + is due to the presence of a phosphoric acid (H 3 PO 4 ) component. It may be present in the sample solution. Therefore, in a solution containing hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, etc., these interfering ions may be detected without being distinguished from Zn ions and Cu ions, and the concentrations of Zn and Cu may be calculated higher. . That is, it becomes difficult to detect Zn or Cu with high accuracy in the presence of these acids.
この質量分析方法においては、まず初めに、分析対象となる試料溶液をキレート樹脂に対して通液し、検出対象となる金属元素（被測定元素）をキレート樹脂に対して吸着させる（キレート吸着工程）。この際、キレート樹脂をイミノジカルボン酸型、ポリアミン型とすることにより、上記の妨害イオン自身や妨害イオンを構成する分子を吸着させずに、被測定元素である金属元素を選択的に吸着させることができる。キレート樹脂における基材樹脂としては、親水性のものを用いることが、水溶液を扱う上では好ましい。この際、これらの金属元素を特に高効率でキレート樹脂に吸着させるためには、試料溶液のｐＨを４．５以上７．０未満の範囲としてこの工程を行うことが特に好ましい。 In this mass spectrometry method, first, a sample solution to be analyzed is passed through a chelate resin to adsorb a metal element (measurement element) to be detected to the chelate resin (chelate adsorption step). ). At this time, by making the chelating resin an iminodicarboxylic acid type or a polyamine type, it is possible to selectively adsorb the metal element which is the element to be measured without adsorbing the above-mentioned interfering ions themselves or molecules constituting the interfering ions. You can As the base resin in the chelate resin, it is preferable to use a hydrophilic resin in order to handle the aqueous solution. At this time, in order to adsorb these metal elements onto the chelate resin with particularly high efficiency, it is particularly preferable to carry out this step with the pH of the sample solution in the range of 4.5 or higher and lower than 7.0.
その後、このキレート樹脂に吸着された金属元素を前記の分析対象となる試料溶液とは別の、この金属元素や前記の酸を含まない溶液（溶出液）中に溶出させる（溶出工程）。具体的には、この工程は、金属元素を吸着後のキレート樹脂に対して酸を含む溶液を通液させることにより行うことができ、通液後のものが溶出液となる。この酸として、前記のような妨害イオンを生成するもの（Ｚｎ、Ｃｕの分析に対しては硫酸、塩酸、リン酸）を用いることができないが、妨害イオンを生成しないものを用いることができ、具体的には、硝酸を用いることができる。これにより、溶出液中に前記の金属元素を溶出させることができる。 Then, the metal element adsorbed on the chelate resin is eluted in a solution (eluate) containing neither the metal element nor the acid, which is different from the sample solution to be analyzed (elution step). Specifically, this step can be carried out by passing a solution containing an acid through the chelate resin after adsorbing the metal element, and the eluate after passing the solution. As the acid, it is not possible to use the above-mentioned substances that generate interfering ions (sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid for the analysis of Zn and Cu), but it is possible to use those that do not generate interfering ions. Specifically, nitric acid can be used. As a result, the metal element can be eluted in the eluate.
最後に、この溶出液に対してＩＣＰ−ＭＳを適用する（質量分析工程）。具体的には、ＩＣＰ化されたＡｒ中に、この溶出液をエアロゾル（霧）化して噴出して溶出液中の原子をイオン化し、このイオンに対する質量分析（例えば四重極質量分析）を行う。分析される溶出液中においては、前記の妨害イオンを構成する物質は除去されているため、金属元素の分析を高精度で行うことができる。ＩＣＰ−ＭＳの実際の測定結果（質量スペクトル）から実際の被測定元素の濃度を算出するためには、周知のように、予め被測定元素の濃度がわかっている標準試料を試料溶液に対して一定量添加し同様の質量分析方法を適用した際の測定結果と比較を行えばよい。 Finally, ICP-MS is applied to this eluate (mass spectrometry step). Specifically, this eluate is aerosolized (atomized) into Ar in the form of ICP and ejected to ionize the atoms in the eluate, and mass spectrometry (for example, quadrupole mass spectrometry) is performed on this ion. . In the eluate to be analyzed, the substances constituting the above-mentioned interfering ions have been removed, so that the metal element can be analyzed with high accuracy. In order to calculate the actual concentration of the element to be measured from the actual measurement result (mass spectrum) of ICP-MS, as is well known, a standard sample whose concentration of the element to be measured is known in advance is used for the sample solution. It suffices to compare it with the measurement result obtained by adding a fixed amount and applying the same mass spectrometry method.
以下に、上記の質量分析方法を実際に行った場合の詳細な手順、結果について説明する。ここでは、被測定元素は、Ｚｎ、Ｃｕとされた。 Hereinafter, detailed procedures and results when the above mass spectrometry method is actually performed will be described. Here, the elements to be measured were Zn and Cu.
被測定元素をＺｎとし、妨害物質として硫酸を用いた場合について、実施例１、実施例２を用いて調べた。実施例１となるグループ（試料１−１〜１−８）では、分析用試料中のＺｎ濃度は全て１０ｐｐｂ（１０μｇ／Ｌ）となるように設定され、これに、妨害物質となる硫酸が、それぞれ０、２５、５０、１００、２００、３００、４００、５００ｐｐｍ添加された。一方、実施例２となるグループ（試料２−１〜２−８）では、Ｚｎを全く添加せずに、硫酸濃度が試料１−１〜１−８とそれぞれ同様とされた。ここでは、これらの試料は、純水に対して硫酸を混合した溶液に、Ｚｎが所定の濃度だけ含まれる原子吸光用亜鉛標準溶液を所定の比率で混合して得られた。ここで用いられた純水としては、超純水製造装置（商品名Ｍｉｌｌｉ−Ｑ Ｉｎｔｅｇｒａｌ：メルクミリポア製）によって比抵抗が１８．２ＭΩ・ｃｍ以上にまで精製された超純水が用いられた。 The case where Zn was used as the element to be measured and sulfuric acid was used as the interfering substance was examined using Examples 1 and 2. In the group (Samples 1-1 to 1-8) that is Example 1, all the Zn concentrations in the analysis sample are set to 10 ppb (10 μg / L), and sulfuric acid, which is an interfering substance, is added thereto. 0, 25, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 ppm were added, respectively. On the other hand, in the group (Samples 2-1 to 2-8) of Example 2, the sulfuric acid concentration was set to be the same as that of Samples 1-1 to 1-8 without adding Zn at all. Here, these samples were obtained by mixing a solution of sulfuric acid mixed with pure water with a zinc standard solution for atomic absorption containing Zn at a predetermined concentration at a predetermined ratio. As the pure water used here, ultrapure water purified to a specific resistance of 18.2 MΩ · cm or more by an ultrapure water producing device (trade name Milli-Q Integral: manufactured by Merck Millipore) was used.
上記の分析用試料に対して、キレート吸着工程を適用した。ここで使用されたキレート樹脂としては、上記のようなイミノジカルボン酸型、ポリアミン型のものとして、具体的には、官能基としてエチレンジアミン三酢酸、イミノ二酢酸の２つが用いられた混合型の親水性のもの（商品名ＮＯＢＩＡＳ ＣＨＥＬＥＴＥ−ＰＡ１：日立ハイテクノロジーズ社製）が用いられた。このキレート樹脂が２４０ｍｇ充填された１５ｍｍφ、長さ７８ｍｍのシリンジ型のプラスチック製のカラムに対して通液を行うことにより、キレート吸着が行われた。ここでは、通液は、圧力を印加しない自然通液で行われ、この際の通液速度は４〜６ｍｌ／ｍｉｎ程度であった。 A chelate adsorption step was applied to the above analytical sample. The chelate resin used here is an iminodicarboxylic acid type or polyamine type as described above, and specifically, a mixed type hydrophilic resin using two of ethylenediaminetriacetic acid and iminodiacetic acid as functional groups. The thing (brand name NOBIAS CHLETE-PA1: Hitachi High-Technologies company make) of the sex was used. Chelate adsorption was carried out by passing the solution through a syringe type plastic column having a length of 15 mm and a length of 78 mm filled with 240 mg of the chelate resin. Here, the liquid flow was performed by natural liquid flow without applying pressure, and the liquid flow rate at this time was about 4 to 6 ml / min.
キレート吸着工程に際しては、まず、上記のカラムに対して洗浄、コンディショニングが行われた。洗浄としては、まず、１０ｍｌのアセトンを加えてキレート樹脂を膨潤させ、その後で３ｍｏｌ／Ｌの硝酸を１０ｍＬ通液させた後に上記の超純水を２０ｍＬ通液させてこれらの不純物成分を除去した。コンディショニングとして、０．１ｍｏｌ／Ｌの酢酸アンモニウム溶液を１０ｍＬ通液させた。 In the chelate adsorption step, first, the above column was washed and conditioned. As the washing, first, 10 ml of acetone was added to swell the chelate resin, and then 10 mL of 3 mol / L nitric acid was passed therethrough, and then 20 mL of the above ultrapure water was passed to remove these impurity components. . For conditioning, 10 mL of a 0.1 mol / L ammonium acetate solution was passed.
その後、前記の分析用試料を通液させ、上記のキレート樹脂に分析用試料中のＺｎを吸着させた。この際、分析用試料に混在している硫酸成分はキレート樹脂には吸着されない。また、分析用試料のｐＨを、酢酸アンモニウム、硝酸、アンモニアを用いて調整することができ、上記のキレート樹脂に対してはｐＨが４．５以上７．０未満の範囲で特に高い吸着効率が得られ、特にｐＨ＝５．６の場合に吸着率が最大となった。なお、この際、ＮａやＫ等のアルカリ金属もキレート樹脂に吸着されなかった。 After that, the above-mentioned analysis sample was passed through, and Zn in the analysis sample was adsorbed to the above chelate resin. At this time, the sulfuric acid component mixed in the analytical sample is not adsorbed by the chelate resin. Further, the pH of the sample for analysis can be adjusted using ammonium acetate, nitric acid, and ammonia, and particularly high adsorption efficiency can be obtained for the above chelate resin in the range of pH 4.5 or more and less than 7.0. It was obtained, and the adsorption rate became the maximum especially when pH = 5.6. At this time, the alkali metals such as Na and K were not adsorbed on the chelate resin.
その後、溶出工程として、３ｍｏｌ／Ｌ程度の濃度の硝酸を２〜５ｍＬ通液させることにより抽出された溶液（溶出液）中に、キレート樹脂に吸着したＺｎが溶出した。その後、この溶出液を５ｍＬに定容し、ＩＣＰ−ＭＳの直接の分析対象とし、この溶出液中のＺｎを質量分析によって検出した。ＩＣＰ−ＭＳによる分析は、Ｔｈｅｒｍｏ社製ｉＣＡＰ−ＱＣを用いて行われた。参考として、分析用試料、溶出液中における硫酸の濃度も、イオンクロマトグラフ（Ｔｈｅｒｍｏ社製ＩＣＳ−２１００使用）によって測定した。 Then, in the elution step, Zn adsorbed on the chelate resin was eluted in the solution (eluate) extracted by passing 2 to 5 mL of nitric acid having a concentration of about 3 mol / L. Then, the eluate was adjusted to a volume of 5 mL and directly analyzed by ICP-MS, and Zn in the eluate was detected by mass spectrometry. The analysis by ICP-MS was performed by using iCAP-QC manufactured by Thermo. As a reference, the concentration of sulfuric acid in the analysis sample and the eluate was also measured by an ion chromatograph (using ICS-2100 manufactured by Thermo).
実施例１、実施例２に対しては、上記のキレート吸着工程、溶出工程、質量分析工程が同様に行われた。これに対して、比較例１となるグループ（試料Ｃ１−１〜Ｃ１−８）における分析用試料は、実施例１（試料１−１〜１−８）と同様であるが、キレート吸着工程、溶出工程を経ずにこの分析用試料に対して直接質量分析工程（ＩＣＰ−ＭＳ）が行われた。ここで、比較例１（Ｃ１−１〜Ｃ１−８）として、実施例１（１−１〜１−８）とそれぞれ同様の試料溶液に対して、キレート吸着工程、溶出工程を行わず、試料溶液を直接ＩＣＰ−ＭＳによってＺｎの分析を行った。 The chelate adsorption step, the elution step, and the mass spectrometric step described above were performed in the same manner as in Examples 1 and 2. On the other hand, the analysis samples in the group (Samples C1-1 to C1-8) that is Comparative Example 1 are the same as those in Example 1 (Samples 1-1 to 1-8), but the chelate adsorption step, The mass spectrometric analysis (ICP-MS) was directly performed on the sample for analysis without passing through the elution step. Here, as Comparative Example 1 (C1-1 to C1-8), a chelate adsorption step and an elution step were not performed on the same sample solution as in Example 1 (1-1 to 1-8), The solution was analyzed for Zn directly by ICP-MS.
実施例１、実施例２、比較例１の各試料における硫酸、Ｚｎの設定組成、及びＩＣＰ−ＭＳによって測定されたＺｎ濃度、イオンクロマトグラフによって測定された硫酸濃度を表１に示す。ここで、Ｚｎは質量数６６としての濃度（ｐｐｂ）である。また、ＮＤはイオンクロマトグラフによる硫酸の検出限界濃度である０．０８ｐｐｍ以下であったことを示す。 Table 1 shows the set compositions of sulfuric acid and Zn, the Zn concentration measured by ICP-MS, and the sulfuric acid concentration measured by ion chromatography in each of the samples of Example 1, Example 2, and Comparative Example 1. Here, Zn is the concentration (ppb) as the mass number 66. Further, ND indicates that it was 0.08 ppm or less, which is the detection limit concentration of sulfuric acid by ion chromatography.
表１より、実施例１においてＩＣＰ−ＭＳによって検出されたＺｎ濃度は全て１０ｐｐｂであり、設定値と検出精度内で等しいことが確認された。また、同様に溶出工程後の溶出液に対してＩＣＰ−ＭＳを適用した実施例２の各試料においては、Ｚｎは検出限界以下であった。すなわち、実施例１、実施例２の各試料に対してはＺｎ濃度が正確に検出された。また、実施例１の各試料では、溶出液における硫酸濃度はいずれも検出限界以下であり、キレート吸着工程、溶出工程を経た溶出液では、妨害物質となる硫酸成分が充分除去されていることが確認された。 From Table 1, it was confirmed that the Zn concentrations detected by ICP-MS in Example 1 were all 10 ppb, which were equal to the set value and within the detection accuracy. Similarly, in each sample of Example 2 in which ICP-MS was applied to the eluate after the elution step, Zn was below the detection limit. That is, the Zn concentration was accurately detected for each of the samples of Example 1 and Example 2. In each of the samples of Example 1, the sulfuric acid concentration in the eluate was below the detection limit, and the eluate that had undergone the chelate adsorption step and the elution step had a sufficient removal of the sulfuric acid component as an interfering substance. confirmed.
一方、キレート吸着工程、溶出工程が行われなかった比較例１においては、試料Ｃ１−１（硫酸添加なし）ではＺｎ濃度は１０ｐｐｂであり設定値と合致したが、これ以外の試料では、Ｚｎ濃度が高めに検出された。特に、硫酸濃度が１００ｐｐｍ以上の場合には、検出されたＺｎ濃度は１２ｐｐｂと、誤差が大きくなることが確認された。一方、比較例１においては、イオンクロマトグラフによって±１ｐｐｍの範囲で設定値通りの濃度の硫酸が検出された。比較例１においてＺｎ濃度が高めに検出された原因は、６６Ｚｎの検出に対する硫酸起因の妨害イオンの影響であると考えられる。 On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1 in which the chelate adsorption step and the elution step were not performed, the Zn concentration was 10 ppb in sample C1-1 (without addition of sulfuric acid), which was in agreement with the set value, but in other samples, the Zn concentration was Was detected higher. In particular, it was confirmed that when the sulfuric acid concentration was 100 ppm or more, the detected Zn concentration was 12 ppb, which was a large error. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1, the sulfuric acid having the concentration as set in the range of ± 1 ppm was detected by ion chromatography. It is considered that the reason why the Zn concentration was detected higher in Comparative Example 1 is the influence of the interfering ions caused by sulfuric acid on the detection of 66 Zn.
以上により、実施例１、実施例２の各試料においては、妨害物質として硫酸が混在している場合であっても、キレート吸着工程、溶出工程を経ることによって、質量分析工程でＺｎ濃度を正確に算出できることが確認された。 As described above, in each of the samples of Example 1 and Example 2, even when sulfuric acid was mixed as an interfering substance, the Zn concentration was accurately determined in the mass spectrometry step by undergoing the chelate adsorption step and the elution step. It was confirmed that it can be calculated.
同様に、Ｃｕの検出について、実施例３、実施例４、比較例２を用いて調べた。ここで妨害物質として想定されるのはリン酸であり、リン酸が上記の硫酸の代わりに用いられた。このため、Ｃｕを上記と同様に１０ｐｐｂ、かつリン酸を上記の硫酸に代わり同様に添加した実施例３となるグループ（試料３−１〜３−８）、Ｃｕ添加を行わずリン酸添加のみを行った実施例４となるグループ（試料４−１〜４−８：上記の試料２−１〜２−８と同じ）に対して、上記の実施例１、２と被測定元素をＣｕとした以外は同様にＩＣＰ−ＭＳによる測定を行った。また、比較例２（試料Ｃ２−１〜Ｃ２−８）においては、実施例３（試料３−１〜３−８）と同様の試料に対して、キレート吸着工程、溶出工程を経ずに試料溶液に対して直接質量分析工程（ＩＣＰ−ＭＳ）が行われた。 Similarly, the detection of Cu was investigated using Example 3, Example 4, and Comparative Example 2. Phosphoric acid is assumed here as the interfering substance, and phosphoric acid was used instead of the sulfuric acid described above. Therefore, a group (Sample 3-1 to 3-8), which is Example 3 in which Cu is added in the same manner as above at 10 ppb and phosphoric acid is added in place of the above sulfuric acid in the same manner, only phosphoric acid is added without Cu addition. For the group (Samples 4-1 to 4-8: the same as the above Samples 2-1 to 2-8) which is Example 4 in which the above-described steps are performed, the above Examples 1 and 2 and the element to be measured are Cu Other than the above, the measurement by ICP-MS was performed in the same manner. Further, in Comparative Example 2 (Samples C2-1 to C2-8), a sample similar to that of Example 3 (Samples 3-1 to 3-8) was subjected to the chelate adsorption step and the elution step, A mass spectrometry step (ICP-MS) was performed directly on the solution.
実施例３、実施例４、比較例２の各試料におけるリン酸、Ｃｕの設定組成、及びＩＣＰ−ＭＳによって測定されたＣｕ濃度、イオンクロマトグラフによって測定されたリン酸濃度を表２に示す。ここで、Ｃｕは、６３Ｃｕ（質量数６３）として検出された。ここで、ＮＤはイオンクロマトグラフによるリン酸の検出限界濃度である０．３ｐｐｍ以下であることを示す。 Table 2 shows the phosphoric acid and the set composition of Cu, the Cu concentration measured by ICP-MS, and the phosphoric acid concentration measured by the ion chromatograph in each of the samples of Example 3, Example 4, and Comparative Example 2. Here, Cu was detected as 63 Cu (mass number 63). Here, ND indicates that it is 0.3 ppm or less, which is the detection limit concentration of phosphoric acid by ion chromatography.
表２より、実施例３においてＩＣＰ−ＭＳによって検出されたＣｕ濃度は全て１０ｐｐｂであり、設定値と検出精度内で等しいことが確認された。また、同様に溶出工程後の溶出液に対してＩＣＰ−ＭＳを適用した実施例４の各試料においては、Ｃｕは検出限界以下であった。すなわち、実施例３、実施例４の各試料に対してはＣｕ濃度が正確に検出された。一方、実施例３の各試料では、溶出液におけるリン酸濃度はいずれも検出限界以下であり、キレート吸着工程、溶出工程を経た溶出液では、妨害物質となるリン酸成分が充分除去されていることが確認された。 From Table 2, it was confirmed that the Cu concentrations detected by ICP-MS in Example 3 were all 10 ppb and were equal within the set value and the detection accuracy. Similarly, in each sample of Example 4 in which ICP-MS was applied to the eluate after the elution step, Cu was below the detection limit. That is, the Cu concentration was accurately detected for each of the samples of Example 3 and Example 4. On the other hand, in each of the samples of Example 3, the phosphoric acid concentration in the eluate was below the detection limit, and the phosphoric acid component as an interfering substance was sufficiently removed in the eluate after the chelate adsorption step and the elution step. It was confirmed.
一方、キレート吸着工程、溶出工程が行われなかった比較例２においては、試料Ｃ２−１（リン酸添加なし）ではＣｕ濃度は１０ｐｐｂであり設定値と合致したが、これ以外の試料では、Ｃｕ濃度が高めに検出された。特に、リン酸濃度が２００ｐｐｍ以上の場合には、検出されたＣｕ濃度は１３ｐｐｂと、誤差が大きくなることが確認された。一方、比較例２においては、イオンクロマトグラフによって±１ｐｐｍの範囲で設定値通りの濃度のリン酸が検出された。比較例２においてＣｕ濃度が高めに検出された原因は、６３Ｃｕの検出に対する上記の妨害イオンの影響であると考えられる。 On the other hand, in Comparative Example 2 in which the chelate adsorption step and the elution step were not performed, the Cu concentration of the sample C2-1 (without addition of phosphoric acid) was 10 ppb, which was in agreement with the set value. Higher concentration was detected. In particular, it was confirmed that when the phosphoric acid concentration was 200 ppm or more, the detected Cu concentration was 13 ppb, which was a large error. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 2, the concentration of phosphoric acid according to the set value was detected by ion chromatography in the range of ± 1 ppm. The reason why the Cu concentration was detected higher in Comparative Example 2 is considered to be the influence of the above-mentioned interfering ions on the detection of 63 Cu.
以上により、実施例３、実施例４の各試料においては、妨害物質としてリン酸が混在している場合であっても、キレート吸着工程、溶出工程を経ることによって、質量分析工程でＣｕ濃度を正確に算出できることが確認された。 As described above, in each of the samples of Example 3 and Example 4, even when phosphoric acid was mixed as the interfering substance, the Cu concentration was determined in the mass spectrometry step by the chelate adsorption step and the elution step. It was confirmed that it can be calculated accurately.
上記の例では、Ｚｎ、Ｃｕの分析について説明したが、同様のキレート樹脂に対して選択的に吸着させることが可能な金属元素としてＮｉ、Ｃｏ、Ｆｅ、Ｍｎ、Ｃｄについても、同様の質量分析方法を適用することができる。この際、分析用試料中の妨害物質となり得る酸としては、上記の硫酸やリン酸の他に、塩酸、硝酸がある。一方、溶出液において使用する酸としては、上記のＺｎ、Ｃｕの分析においては硝酸が利用されたが、他の金属元素に対しては、硫酸、塩酸、硝酸、リン酸の中で、各金属元素の妨害物質とならない（各金属元素イオンと質量の近いイオンが生成されない）ものを用いることができる。 In the above example, the analysis of Zn and Cu has been described, but the similar mass analysis is performed for Ni, Co, Fe, Mn, and Cd as metal elements that can be selectively adsorbed to the same chelate resin. The method can be applied. At this time, as the acid which can be an interfering substance in the sample for analysis, there are hydrochloric acid and nitric acid in addition to the above-mentioned sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid. On the other hand, as the acid used in the eluate, nitric acid was used in the analysis of Zn and Cu described above, but for other metal elements, among the sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and phosphoric acid, It is possible to use a substance that does not become an interfering substance of elements (an ion having a mass close to that of each metal element ion is not generated).
特に、海や川に流される排水や、海水や河川水においては、許容される金属元素濃度の上限値が厳格に規定されている。また、こうした排水は、金属元素と同時に、金属元素の質量分析を行う際の妨害物質も含有する場合も多い。こうした場合に金属元素の質量分析を行う場合において、上記の質量分析方法は、有効である。 In particular, the upper limit of the permissible metal element concentration is strictly defined for wastewater discharged to the sea or river, or seawater or river water. In addition, such wastewater often contains, in addition to the metal element, a substance that interferes with the mass spectrometry of the metal element. In such a case, the above-mentioned mass spectrometric method is effective in mass spectrometric analysis of a metal element.
また、例えば木材チップ等から紙の素材となるパルプ繊維を製造するためのクラフトパルプ製造工程においては、木材チップが蒸解された白液、パルプ以外の樹脂成分であるリグニン等をパルプ成分から溶出分離させた黒液等が扱われる。黒液はクラフトパルプ製造工程における廃液（パルプ廃液）として扱われ、濃縮された後に燃焼処理される。ただし、この燃焼後の無機成分を溶解させた液（緑液）は、アルカリ回収工程によって白液に転換されて再利用される。このため、クラフトパルプ製造工程においては、本来の廃棄対象であるパルプ廃液（黒液）や、これ以外のクラフトパルプ工程で扱われるパルプ化工程液（白液、緑液等）が希釈された状態で環境水中に排出される可能性がある。これらの液体に含まれる金属元素の濃度を調べることは重要であり、こうした場合に上記の質量分析方法は有効である。特に、これらの液体においては、被測定元素となる金属元素の検出における妨害物質が混在している場合も多いため、上記の質量分析方法は、特に有効である。 Further, for example, in the kraft pulp manufacturing process for manufacturing pulp fibers to be a raw material of paper from wood chips, etc., white liquor in which wood chips are cooked, lignin, which is a resin component other than pulp, are eluted and separated from pulp components. The black liquor etc. that has been made to be treated. The black liquor is treated as waste liquid (pulp waste liquid) in the kraft pulp manufacturing process, concentrated, and then burned. However, the liquid (green liquor) in which the inorganic components after combustion are dissolved is converted into white liquor by the alkali recovery step and reused. For this reason, in the kraft pulp manufacturing process, the pulp waste liquid (black liquor) that is originally to be discarded and the pulping process liquid (white liquor, green liquor, etc.) that is handled in other kraft pulp processes are diluted. May be discharged into environmental water. It is important to investigate the concentration of the metal element contained in these liquids, and in such a case, the above mass spectrometric method is effective. In particular, in these liquids, there are many cases where interfering substances in the detection of the metal element to be measured are mixed, and therefore the above-mentioned mass spectrometry method is particularly effective.
同様に、水道水や、イオン交換樹脂にこれを通過させた後のイオン交換水を試料溶液とすることもできる。また、ＫＰ（クラフトパルプ）苛性化工程で発生する様々なスラッジ（炭酸カルシウム、生石灰、脱カリウム処理が施された電気集塵機捕集灰（ＥＰ灰）や、脱水ケーキ等）の処理に伴う各種の水溶液を試料溶液とし、水溶液中の金属の分析を行う際にも、上記の質量分析方法は有効である。 Similarly, tap water or ion-exchanged water after passing it through the ion-exchange resin can be used as the sample solution. In addition, various types of sludge (calcium carbonate, quick lime, and electric dust collector ash (EP ash) that has undergone potassium removal treatment, dehydrated cake, etc.) generated in the KP (kraft pulp) causticizing process The above-mentioned mass spectrometric method is also effective when an aqueous solution is used as a sample solution and metals in the aqueous solution are analyzed.
更に、キレート樹脂に対して上記の金属元素を選択的に吸着させることができる一方で、キレート樹脂に対して吸着されない妨害物質に対して、例えばキレート樹脂の種類（官能基）を適宜選択することにより、上記の金属元素以外の被測定元素に対しても、上記の質量分析方法を適用することができる。この際、溶出液として上記の例では硝酸（酸）が用いられたが、溶出液の組成に対しても、妨害物質とならずかつ被測定元素を溶出できるものを適宜用いることができる。 Furthermore, while the above metal elements can be selectively adsorbed to the chelate resin, for example, the type (functional group) of the chelate resin is appropriately selected for the interfering substances that are not adsorbed to the chelate resin. Thus, the above-described mass spectrometric method can be applied to elements to be measured other than the above-mentioned metal elements. At this time, nitric acid (acid) was used as the eluent in the above example, but it is possible to appropriately use one that does not interfere with the composition of the eluate and can elute the element to be measured.
また、上記の例では質量分析工程においてＩＣＰ−ＭＳが用いられたが、同様に被測定元素（イオン）の質量に応じた分析を行う他の質量分析を質量分析工程で用いることもできる。この場合において、より質量分解能の高い質量分析を用いた場合でも、被測定元素（イオン）の質量数と妨害物質により生成され質量分析の際に溶液中に存在するイオンの質量数とが等しい場合には、妨害物質による影響を除去するのが困難であるところ、同様のキレート吸着工程、溶出工程によって、この影響を除去することができる。 Further, although ICP-MS was used in the mass spectrometry step in the above example, other mass spectrometry which similarly performs analysis according to the mass of the element (ion) to be measured can also be used in the mass spectrometry step. In this case, even if mass spectrometry with higher mass resolution is used, the mass number of the element to be measured (ion) is equal to the mass number of ions generated by the interfering substance and present in the solution during mass spectrometry. However, it is difficult to remove the influence of the interfering substance. However, this influence can be removed by the same chelate adsorption step and elution step.
