Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of material analysis, and in particular to a standard sample preparation and calibration device for laser induced breakdown spectroscopy analysis. Background Art
[0002] Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) analysis technology is a new elemental analysis technology. Its principle is to use high-power pulsed laser to focus and bombard the surface of the sample to be tested to generate plasma. During the plasma excitation process, characteristic spectral lines of the corresponding elements are generated. Through the spectrometer and ICCD, the time is precisely controlled and the characteristic spectral line analysis is performed, so that the elements in the sample to be tested can be qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed. This analysis method has the characteristics of short time response, remote control, non-destructive or minimally destructive measurement, and real-time, in-situ and micro-area analysis.
[0003] At present, for the detection of element types in the sample to be tested, the element spectral lines in the LIBS spectrum can be directly read out for identification by comparing the element spectral line wavelength information in the standard data; however, in practical applications, it is also necessary to quantitatively measure the element content. The accurate content cannot be directly obtained by only using the intensity of different element spectral lines in a single set of LIBS spectra. The LIBS analysis must be calibrated with standard samples before it can be applied to the analysis and testing of samples with unknown content.
[0004] The existing technology uses the internal calibration method, also called the relative intensity method, which uses a set of standard samples to calibrate the LIBS analysis, and then compares it with the measured spectral data to obtain accurate quantitative analysis results of the element content. This method can reduce the impact of spectral intensity instability caused by external conditions on quantitative analysis, but it requires a set of reliable standard samples, which puts high demands on the preparation and calibration process of the standard samples.
[0005] One of the existing methods of standard sample preparation and LIBS calibration is to prepare a quantitative powder standard sample in a preparation device, then take out the sample for tableting, and then put it on the calibration device for LIBS calibration test. Generally, the standard sample preparation device and the LIBS calibration device are two separate devices. In the above process, there is a problem that the prepared standard sample is easily contaminated by the environment, resulting in inaccurate LIBS calibration. Summary of the invention

[0067] In addition to solid mixing, the embodiment can also achieve liquid metal mixing. For example, the device can be used to prepare mixed liquid metal (Pb 50 Bi 50 ) standard samples and perform in-situ LIBS calibration, the following steps can be roughly included:
[0068] STEP 1. Use a precision analytical balance (accuracy 0.1 mg) to weigh lead powder (maximum particle size 150 μm, purity 99.5%) and bismuth powder (maximum particle size 150 μm, purity 99.999%) in a mass percentage of 1:1, mix and put into the in-situ calibrator 10, close the flip cover 12, fix the in-situ calibrator 10 and the ultrasonic vibrator 80, turn on the power to make the ultrasonic vibrator 80 vibrate at a frequency of 30 Hz for 10 minutes to mix the powder samples evenly, turn off the power, then loosen the in-situ calibrator 10 and the ultrasonic vibrator 80, fix the in-situ calibrator 10 and the three-dimensional adjustment table 20, and then connect all the pipelines of the standard sample preparation device for in-situ calibration of laser induced breakdown spectroscopy, then open all needle valves and control valves, turn on the mechanical pump 62, and after the vacuum gauge 64 reading reaches below 1 Pa, turn on the molecular pump 61 to reduce the vacuum degree to 10 -6 Pa or better;
[0069] STEP2, high temperature degassing of lead-bismuth metal powder mixed sample, close control valve 621, wait for the pressure gauge 63 and vacuum gauge 64 to drop to 10 -6Pa, open the heating furnace 30, heat the lead-bismuth metal powder mixed sample in the in-situ calibrator 10, discharge the residual gas impurities adsorbed on its surface and inside, and raise the temperature to about 280°C at a heating rate of 10°C / min. At this time, the metal bismuth first reaches the melting point and becomes liquid metal. Continue to heat it to about 330°C, at which time the metal lead reaches the melting point and becomes liquid metal. Continue to raise the temperature to the degassing temperature of 600°C, observe the change in the reading of the vacuum gauge 64, and wait until the pressure stabilizes and is less than 10 -6 Pa, and then continue to maintain 600℃ for more than 10 minutes, then control the heating furnace 30 to cool down to 550℃ and maintain it stably, then liquid metal Pb 50 Bi 50 Standard samples;
[0070] STEP3, control the position of the in-situ calibrator 10 through the three-dimensional adjustment platform 20, and determine whether the laser beam spot can bombard the liquid metal Pb by combining with the auxiliary light source. 50 Bi 50 The standard sample is placed at a designated position, and then the laser 41 and the spectrometer are turned on to perform data acquisition and in-situ calibration testing of the laser induced breakdown spectroscopy.
[0071] The third embodiment of the present invention is Figure 5 As shown, it is basically the same as the first embodiment, the difference is that the sample preparation mechanism 70 also includes an ultrasonic vibrator 80, and the ultrasonic vibrator 80 is detachably mounted on the bottom of the in-situ calibrator 10, that is, this embodiment is a combination of the first embodiment and the second embodiment, and can realize various operations such as solid-gas mixing, solid-state mixing, solid-liquid mixing, and liquid-liquid mixing, so as to meet the usage requirements in different situations.
[0072] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
