Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of gas transmission systems of atomic spectrum analysis instruments, in particular to a device and system for detecting liquid and foam in gas transmission pipelines. Background technique [0002] As a trace and ultra-trace heavy metal total and speciation analysis instrument for elements such as arsenic and mercury, atomic fluorescence spectrometer has been widely used in food safety, environmental monitoring, tap water, geological prospecting, metallurgy and scientific research. During the analysis process of the atomic fluorescence spectrometer, potassium borohydride reacts with the acid in the sample to generate the gaseous substances of the analyte elements, hydrogen and other substances; the gaseous substances of the analyte elements and hydrogen generated are carried by the carrier gas in After gas-liquid separation in the gas-liquid separator to remove water vapor, it enters the atomizer. Hydrogen gas is igni...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, it should be pointed out that the following issues have not been resolved:

[0004] (1) After the atomic fluorescence has been running for a long time, a large amount of water vapor will condense into water droplets in the silicone rubber tube connecting the gas-liquid separator and the atomizer, hindering the transmission of gas, and even completely blocking the pipeline in severe cases. Affect the reliability of the analysis results

[0005] (2) For sample solutions with relatively high organic matter content, a large amount of foam will be formed in the gas-liquid separator, and the gas-liquid separator without defoaming function design cannot restrict the foam from carrying a large amount of liquid into the atomizer through the connecting pipeline , will eventually lead to serious damage to the atomizer such as short circuit and pollution

[0006] (3) For a gas-liquid separator that requires a peristaltic pump to extract waste liquid, the aging of the peristaltic pump tube is an inevitable problem

The ion pair reagents mainly used in reverse ion pair chromatography, such as alkyl sulfate and quaternary ammonium salt, etc., will form a large amount of foam during the steam reaction process, which will block the connection between the gas-liquid separator and the atomizer in severe cases. The gas transmission pipeline between them will affect the accuracy of the analysis results
