Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of gas stable isotope determination, and in particular to 15 A system and method for pre-treating gas products of N-tracing nitrification-denitrification. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, commonly used 15 The loss of fertilizer nitrogen in rice fields was studied by using a field micro-plot test method using N tracing. The results showed that the loss of ammonium nitrogen fertilizer and urea could be as high as 60-80% of the applied nitrogen. The loss of fertilizer nitrogen in rice fields mainly occurs when a large amount of exchangeable ammonia is present. This is because ammonium is both a source of ammonia volatilization and a source of nitrification-denitrification loss; therefore, the determination of nitrification-denitrification loss has attracted the attention of many researchers. The nitrification gas products (N2+NO x ), denitrification gas products (N2+NO x ), nitrification-denitrification gas products (N2+NO x ) or directly measure the N2 in the above gas products to study the circulation and transformation of nitrogen in the plant-soil-environment.
[0003] The N2 produced by nitrification or denitrification is "non-randomly distributed". 14 N and 15 The N atoms are non-randomly distributed, and 15 The N abundance is neither very high (when it is above about 5%, the ion peak of mass number 30 can be measured with high accuracy); nor very low (when it is less than the natural abundance, it is difficult to measure the ion peak of mass number 30). To use the direct measurement method, it is necessary to determine the I 30 , and calculated as follows:
[0004]
[0005] The nitrification gas products, denitrification gas products and nitrification-denitrification gas products collected in the experiment are usually 30 N2 / 28 N2 or 30 N2 / ( 28 N2+ 29 N2) is very small (mainly due to the dilution effect of N2 in the air), which requires the mass spectrometer to have very high precision, even to the point where it is suitable for detecting test objects such as air, soil, and plants. 15 At the same time, the impurities such as O2, CO2 and H2O contained in the gas products have a certain influence on the 30 N2 / 28The determination of N2 ratio will produce great interference, among which O2 has the greatest impact. This is mainly due to interference with the determination of m / e30 peak, because O + +N2→NO + +N, which makes the measurement of peak 30 too high, and thus the gas produced by nitrification-denitrification cannot be accurately measured, limiting the in-depth study of the nitrification-denitrification process and mechanism. Therefore, before the gas products enter the mass spectrometer, the interference needs to be effectively removed to make the measurement results accurate and effective. This step is all 15 The most difficult and critical part of N analysis.
[0006] At present, the direct determination of nitrification-denitrification gas products is 15 The sample pretreatment of N tracer-mass spectrometry usually includes arc method (randomization) and non-randomized stable isotope mass spectrometer method (referred to as non-randomized direct method). The arc method uses a high-voltage arc to react N2 with O2 in the gas sample to generate NOx, making the gas sample to be tested random; then KMnO4-H2SO4 solution is used to absorb NOx and convert it into NH4 + , then quantified by conventional semi-micro distillation, and finally determined by a double-receiver mass spectrometer 15 N abundance, calculated 15 N loss. This method not only requires a special arc generating device, but also the entire measurement process is very cumbersome, the error is large, and it is difficult to control, so the potential for widespread application is not great.
[0007] When the existing gas stable isotope mass spectrometer is used to measure the gas products of nitrification-denitrification using the non-randomized stable isotope mass spectrometer method, the impurity gases such as NOx, CO2 and H2O in the gas products are not completely removed, especially O2 cannot be removed, so the measurement results of the nitrogen 30 isotope of N2 produced during the denitrification process are not accurate.

[0073] Example
[0074] use Figure 1 The pre-treatment system shown is used to pre-treat the gas products of nitrification-denitrification to be detected:

[0076] System Accuracy Verification:
[0077] Verification 1: Select N2 in the natural abundance state of outdoor air as the gas sample. Use a closed gas injection needle valve to inject the collected air sample, desorb gas impurities other than oxygen through the chemical trap and the first cold trap, remove O2 in the sample through a high-temperature reduction furnace, and then separate and remove the remaining trace impurity gases through the separation column and the second cold trap. The gas entering the mass spectrometer is actually high-purity N2. The mass spectrometer measures the gas output relative to the reference gas. 15 N isotope ratio. The isotope ratio of the prepared air samples (6) was measured 6 times (with different injection volumes) to complete the detection of air samples. The results are shown in Tables 1 to 2 and Figure 2 shown.
[0078] Table 1 Air samples 15 Error in determination of natural abundance of N
[0079]
[0080] Table 2 Raw data of air sample measurement
[0081]
[0082] From Tables 1 to 2 and Figure 2 It can be seen that the mass spectrometer detects the same air sample 15 The coefficient of variation (CV%) of natural abundance of N was 0.007% to 0.01%, and the precision was <0.007% to 0.03%. 15 The coefficient of variation (CV%) of natural abundance of N was 0.004%, and the precision was <0.008%. 15 The average value of natural abundance of N is 0.3668% (theoretical value is 0.3665%), and the average value of absolute error is 0.0008%, which meets the accuracy requirement of mass spectrometer.
[0083] Verification 2: Use a sealed gas injection needle valve to extract randomly selected different 15 N abundance in gas samples, through reference gas and gas sample 29 N2 / 28 N2 ratio and 30 N2 / 28 The N2 ratio is processed through the same chemical trap as the air sample → the first cold trap → the reduction copper furnace → the high-efficiency separation column → the second cold trap, and finally detected by the mass spectrometer to obtain the gas sample. 29 N2 / 28 N2 ratio and 30 N2 / 28 N2 ratio, and the gas sample 15 N abundance, and perform error analysis. At the same time, calculate the corresponding 15 The coefficient of variation of the percentage of N atoms is listed in Table 3.
[0084] Table 3 Gas 15 Determination results and error analysis of N abundance
[0085]
[0086] From Table 3 we can see that: 15 For N abundance, the coefficient of variation and 15 The trend of increasing with increasing nitrogen abundance is relatively small (coefficient of variation 0.03-0.7%), while the coefficient of variation of atomic percentage excess varies with the gas sample. 15The N% abundance decreases and increases, with a relatively large amplitude (coefficient of variation 0.50-3.22%). Especially when the gas abundance is lower than 0.380%, the coefficient of variation becomes larger, indicating that the measurement error increases significantly. 15 The nitrogen loss is calculated on an atomic percent basis, so when collecting or preparing gas samples, try to minimize the nitrogen loss. 15 The N abundance should not be less than 0.380% to reduce the error.
[0087] Verification 3: Preparation of high-abundance markers 15 In order to verify the removal of impurity gases in high-abundance samples and the accuracy of sample measurement, the previously purchased 15 Ammonium sulfate with a nitrogen abundance of 99.14atom% and homogeneous 15 Ammonium sulfate with a natural abundance of 0.366atom% N is prepared according to the mass balance formula 15 The labeled ammonium nitrogen samples with N atom% of 10.30, 20.24, 30.18, 40.11, and 50.05 were then oxidized with sodium hypobromite in a sealed vacuum sample bottle to produce labeled 15 N2, N, and finally sampled and removed interference through the pre-treatment system and then measured using a stable isotope mass spectrometer 15 The results are shown in Table 4.
[0088] Table 4 Different markers 15 N2 sample measurement results
[0089]
[0090] It can be seen from Table 4 that the results of three repeated determinations under the same abundance conditions were very stable, with coefficients of variation less than 3%, which was consistent with the prepared standard values. 15 Compared with N abundance, the relative error is less than 1%, indicating that the expected function of the pretreatment system to remove impurities is obvious.
[0091] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
