Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water-phase Hg(II) isotope determination, and particularly provides an in-situ enrichment method and an analysis method for water-phase Hg(II) isotope. BACKGROUND

[0002] Mercury is a global pollutant that has received much attention due to its accumulation and persistence. It can be transported globally through the atmosphere and subsequently deposited in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Once deposited in terrestrial and aquatic systems, mercury is converted to more toxic methylmercury (MeHg) by certain anaerobic microorganisms and subsequently accumulates in the food chain, posing a threat to human and environmental health. Free water-phase Hg 2+ and its unstable state Hg(II) (collectively referred to as Hg(II)) are the main species of methylation, which play a crucial role in aquatic ecosystems due to their high activity and bioavailability. Mercury isotope is a powerful tracing tool that helps better understand the biogeochemical cycling processes that occur between mercury species in aquatic ecosystems.

[0003] There are still great challenges in using mercury isotope technology to accurately trace the sources and migration processes of mercury in aquatic ecosystems. The main challenges are: the traditional sampling method is complex and tedious, and the sampling and storage requirements are harsh. In addition, during the collection, storage and transportation of samples, the samples may be contaminated, and the physical and chemical properties of the samples (such as pH value, redox conditions) are prone to change, which also causes great uncertainty in the determination of the concentration and isotope composition of the samples, resulting in a large error in the detection results.

[0049] In the present application, the second enrichment method preferably comprises: eluting the NSBA adsorption membranes of the plurality of DGT devices adsorbed with Hg(II), and combining the eluted solutions to obtain Hg(II) eluent meeting the requirements of on-machine.

[0050] The present application also provides a method for analyzing Hg(II) isotope in water phase, comprising the following steps:

[0051] The in-situ enrichment method according to the above technical solution is used to enrich the water body to be measured in-situ to obtain Hg(II) eluent;

[0052] The Hg(II) eluent is detected by MC-ICP-MS to obtain the measured values of δ 202 Hg, Δ 199 Hg and Δ 201 Hg;

[0053] The measured value of δ 202 Hg is corrected to obtain the actual value of δ 202 Hg of the water body to be measured;

[0054] The correction value of the correction is-0.18 ‰.

[0055] The in-situ enrichment method according to the above technical solution is used to enrich the water body to be measured in-situ to obtain Hg(II) eluent. In the present application, the parameters of in-situ enrichment are preferably consistent with the above technical solution, which will not be described here.

[0056] After obtaining the Hg(II) eluent, the Hg(II) eluent is detected by MC-ICP-MS to obtain the measured values of δ 202 Hg, Δ 199 Hg and Δ 201 Hg.

[0057] In the present application, the MC-ICP-MS preferably uses GBW07405, BCR-482 solid standard substance, NIST SRM3133 mercury isotope standard solution and NIST SRM 8610 mercury isotope standard solution as external standard, and NIST 997 Tl standard solution as internal standard to perform quality control on the sample.

[0058] The present application does not make specific limitation to the detection parameters of the MC-ICP-MS, and the detection parameters well known to those skilled in the art can be adopted.

[0059] After obtaining the measured value of δ 202 The present application corrects the measured value of δ 202 Hg to obtain the actual value of δ 202 Hg of the water body to be measured.

[0060] In the present application, the correction value of the correction is preferably -0.18‰.

[0061] In the present application, the correction value is preferably obtained by the following steps:

[0062] (a) Put the DGT device (the adsorption film is NSBA adsorption film) into 100 mL of NIST SRM 3133 isotope mercury standard solution containing 0.01 mol / L NaCl and ~ 60 ng / mL at different temperatures (15 ℃, 25 ℃ and 35 ℃), and the oscillation speed of the constant temperature oscillator is 120 rpm. At different time points from 0 to 24 h, take out the DGT device from the solution, take out the adsorption film of the DGT device, elute the adsorption film with 5 mL of reverse aqua regia for 8-12 h to obtain the eluate at different time points. In addition, add 1% BrCl to the residual liquid (the remaining solution after the DGT device is taken out at different time points) to convert other forms of mercury into Hg(II), and then store it in a 4 ℃ refrigerator for cold preservation, so as to facilitate subsequent Hg(II) concentration and isotope analysis.

[0063] If the mercury concentration in the eluate at different time points does not meet the standard for on-machine isotope determination (≥0.5 ng / mL), the mercury enrichment system of CVAFS can be used for counter-enrichment of the eluate at different time points; specifically: 10-12 mL of eluate to be enriched is loaded into a bubble bottle, 5 mL of SnCl2 aqueous solution with a concentration of 0.2 g / mL is added to the bubble bottle to reduce Hg(II), so that Hg(II) in the eluate to be enriched is converted into Hg(0), and then nitrogen gas with a flow rate of 100-200 mL / min is introduced into the bubble bottle, and the blowing is continued for 2 h, so that the reduced Hg(0) is counter-enriched in 5 mL of dilute reverse aqua regia with a volume percentage of 40%.

[0064] (b) Prepare the GBW07405 and BCR-482 solid standard solution, accurately configure 0.5 ng / mL of NIST SRM 3133 mercury isotope standard solution and NIST SRM 8610 mercury isotope standard solution, 20 ng / mL Tl (NIST 997) standard solution to control the sample quality standard.

[0065] (c) The eluent at different time points is detected by an online mercury generation system and a multi-receiving inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (MC-ICP-MS), and the δ 202 Hg, Δ 199 Hg and Δ 201 Hg values of the sample can be obtained.

[0066] The proportion of mercury adsorbed by the DGT device at different temperatures and the isotope values thereof are shown in Table 1.

[0067] Table 1 Proportion of mercury adsorbed by DGT at different temperatures and isotope values thereof

[0068]

[0069] As can be seen from Table 1, under the conditions of 15, 25 and 35℃, compared with the δ 202 Hg and Δ 199 Hg reference value (~0‰), the Hg-MDF produced by the DGT in the process of adsorbing mercury molecules has a deviation of about 0.1-0.2‰, and the deviation values at the three temperatures have no significant difference (p>0.05), so the average value of δ 202 Hg at the three different temperatures (-0.18‰) is taken as the correction value; in addition, no obvious isotope non-mass fractionation (Hg-MIF ~0‰) is detected in the whole experiment. Therefore, the Hg-MDF deviation value (-0.18‰) can be used to correct the field samples, and the MIF does not need to be corrected.

[0070] The in-situ enrichment method and analysis method of Hg(II) isotope in an aqueous phase provided by the present application will be described in detail below in combination with examples, but they should not be understood as limiting the protection scope of the present application.

[0071] Example 1

[0072] Selection of eluent

[0073] (I) The NSBA adsorption membrane (area 3.14 cm 2(The NSBA adsorption membrane was prepared according to the method described in the specific implementation section) The membrane was immersed in 30 mL of the test solution containing 0.01 mol / L NaCl and 1 ng / mL Hg(II) for 24 h to adsorb Hg(II) and obtain the NSBA adsorption membrane adsorbed with Hg(II).

[0074] (II) Rinse the surface impurities of the NSBA adsorption membrane that has adsorbed Hg(II) obtained in step (I) with ultrapure water. Use lens paper to dry the water on the surface of the NSBA adsorption membrane that has adsorbed Hg(II). Then, place the rinsed NSBA adsorption membrane that has adsorbed Hg(II) into Teflon bottles containing 5 mL of aqua regia and 5 mL of anti-aqua regia and continuously shake and elute. There are two elution methods for aqua regia: water bath heating for 3 h and room temperature for 8 h. Anti-aqua regia is eluted at room temperature for 8-12 h. Three eluents are obtained.

[0075] (III) Add 5 mL of ultrapure water to each of the three eluents obtained in step (II) to dilute them and obtain three Hg(II) eluents.

[0076] (IV) The concentrations of the three Hg(II) eluents obtained in step (III) and the concentrations of the test solutions before and after adsorption by the NSBA adsorption membrane were determined using CVAFS (Tekran 2500).

[0077] (V) The adsorption efficiency of the NSBA adsorption membrane for Hg(II) and the elution efficiency of aqua regia and its anti-aqua regia for Hg(II) were calculated from the data in step (IV). The results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown.

[0078] from Figure 1 It can be seen that the elution efficiency of 5 mL of reverse aqua regia for Hg(II) is 100.75±8.91%, while the elution efficiency of 5 mL of aqua regia (both water bath and room temperature methods) for Hg(II) is 76.36-79.87%. Therefore, reverse aqua regia was finally determined to be the elution reagent for NSBA adsorption membrane.

[0079] Example 2

[0080] Indoor experimental verification

[0081] (1) Put the DGT device (the adsorption membrane is NSBA adsorption membrane; the filter membrane is polyether sulfone membrane (PES) with a pore size of 0.45 μm and a thickness of 0.14 mm; the diffusion layer is agarose gel membrane with a thickness of 0.8 mm) into 100 mL of a solution containing 0.01 mol / L NaCl and ~ 60 ng / mL of NIST SRM 3133 isotope mercury standard solution at different temperatures (15°C, 25°C and 35°C), and the oscillation speed of the constant temperature oscillator is 120 rpm. At different time points from 0 to 24 h, the DGT device is taken out of the solution, the adsorption membrane of the DGT device is taken out, and the adsorption membrane is eluted with 5 mL of reverse aqua regia for 12 h to obtain the eluate at different time points. In addition, 1% BrCl is added to the residual liquid (the remaining solution after the DGT device is taken out at different time points) to convert other forms of mercury into Hg(II), and then it is stored in a 4°C refrigerator. The steps (III) and (IV) of Example 1 are repeated.

[0082] If the mercury concentration in the eluate at different time points does not meet the standard for isotope determination on the instrument (≥ 0.5 ng / mL), the eluate at different time points can be counter-enriched using the mercury enrichment system of CVAFS; specifically: 10 mL of the eluate to be enriched is placed in a bubble bottle, 5 mL of SnCl2 aqueous solution with a concentration of 0.2 g / mL is added to the bubble bottle to reduce Hg(II) in the eluate to be enriched, and then nitrogen gas with a flow rate of 100-200 mL / min is introduced into the bubble bottle to blow for 2 h, so that the reduced Hg(0) is counter-enriched in 5 mL of dilute reverse aqua regia with a volume percentage of 40%.

[0083] (2) Prepare the GBW07405 and BCR-482 solid standard substance to be tested, accurately configure 0.5 ng / mL of NIST SRM 3133 mercury isotope standard solution and NIST SRM 8610 mercury isotope standard solution, and 20 ng / mL Tl (NIST 997) standard solution to control the sample quality standard.

[0084] (3) The eluate at different time points is detected by the online mercury generation system and the multi-receiving inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (MC-ICP-MS), and the δ 202 Hg, Δ 199 Hg and Δ 201 Hg values in the sample can be obtained.

[0085] Firstly, the stability of the MC-ICP-MS instrument is determined by NIST SRM 3133 and three standard substances (internal and external standards), and the specific results are shown in Table 2.

[0086] Table 2 Experimental data of the stability of the MC-ICP-MS instrument

[0087]

[0088]

[0089] From Table 2, it can be seen that the determination results are consistent with the reference values, indicating that the MC-ICP-MS instrument is relatively stable during the determination of all samples.

[0090] The proportion of mercury adsorbed by the DGT device at different temperatures and the isotope values thereof are shown in Table 1. From Table 1, it can be seen that the Hg-MDF produced by the DGT in the process of adsorbing mercury molecules is 0.18‰, based on which, for subsequent field research, the field DGT samples can be corrected by using this value as a correction value; and no obvious isotope mass fractionation (Hg-MIF ~ 0‰) is detected in the entire experimental process, indicating that the MIF value detected by the DGT in the subsequent detection can reflect the true MIF signal of the natural sample, further confirming the reliability of the method.

[0091] Example 3

[0092] Field application

[0093] The NSBA-DGT device was placed in the paddy soil solution, taken out after 14 days, and the impurities on the surface were washed clean with ultrapure water, and then taken back to the laboratory for elution and detection. The elution and detection were the same as in Examples 1 and 2, and the results are shown in Table 3.

[0094] Table 3 Isotopic composition of DGT in environmental samples (corrected values)

[0095]

[0096] As can be seen from Table 3, the combination of DGT and MC-ICP-MS can be used to capture the mercury isotope composition of Hg(II) in the water phase of the paddy soil solution. As shown in Table 3, the measured δ 202 Hg values are -2.10 to -1.99‰, and a small non-mass fractionation (MIF) is monitored, with a Δ 199 Hg value of 0.11 to 0.22‰.

[0097] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, a number of improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
