Problems solved by technology

However, for sample amounts of 200pg or less, due to TaF 5 The emitter cannot further improve the ionization efficiency of Sr, and the sensitivity cannot meet the test requirements, so it is difficult to produce satisfactory data
The lack of Sr isotope testing technology for ultra-trace samples has greatly restricted the development of earth science and environmental science, especially for some precious samples (extraterrestrial materials, mantle xenoliths, biological shell microfossils) or samples with low strontium concentrations ( Water samples, animal and plant samples), due to the inability to provide sufficient samples, the test accuracy is poor and cannot meet the needs of scientific research
[0006] In summary, so far, no emitter suitable for strontium isotopes in ultra-trace (30pg-200pg) samples has been developed.

Embodiment 1

[0037] 1. Preparation of propellants

[0038] 1) Weigh the sample size of silicotungstic acid powder to be 110±1mg, and the volume of deionized water added is 5mL;

[0039] 2) After the silicotungstic acid is dissolved, the silicotungstic acid solution is purified through an AG50 cation exchange column filled with 1.5mL resin to reduce the sample bottom.

[0040] 3) preparing phosphoric acid with a concentration of 0.8M;

[0041] 2. Sample loading detection

[0042] 1) Take 1 μL of 0.8M phosphoric acid emitter and apply it on the surface of the high-purity Re filament. After the phosphoric acid is evaporated to dryness, apply 1 μL of silicotungstic acid emitter. Spot the NIST 987 sample on the surface of the filament, evaporate the sample to dryness at low temperature, increase the filament current until the filament turns dark red and keep for 3-5 seconds, then return the current to zero.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of analytical chemistry, and in particular relates to a method for analyzing strontium isotopes of ultra-trace samples using silicotungstic acid as a propellant. Background technique [0002] Strontium has four natural isotopes 88 Sr, 87 Sr, 86 Sr and 84 Sr, the isotopic abundances are 82.58%, 7.00%, 9.86% and 0.56%, respectively. Sr is widely distributed in various rocks, minerals, soils, water bodies and organisms in nature. The strontium isotope ratio varies greatly in different reservoirs in nature, which can be used not only for Rb-Sr isotopic dating of common minerals in geological bodies (mica, feldspar, metal sulfides), but also for a wider range of research objects (extraterrestrial matter , rock minerals, dust, water, food, animals and plants, archaeological samples, etc.) Sr isotope tracer. Currently, 87 Sr / 86 As an isotope tracer, the Sr ratio has been widely used in environmental scienc...
