Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of geological sample pretreatment technology, and in particular to a highly efficient purification device for ammonium bifluoride and ammonium fluoride. Background Technology

[0002] Geological sample pretreatment technology is the cornerstone for obtaining high-precision geochemical data (elemental content, isotope ratios, and geochronological information). The classic strong acid-base digestion method has been used for nearly a century, but with significant advancements in detection techniques and the rapid development of analytical instruments, current traditional geological sample pretreatment methods lag far behind the rapid advancements in modern analytical detection technologies. They have consistently failed to escape the traditional model of low efficiency, heavy pollution, high risk, large land area requirements, significant waste, and difficult processing, seriously contradicting the modern concept of green development.

[0003] In recent years, the development of ammonium bifluoride and ammonium fluoride digestion technologies has eliminated the constraints of geological sample pretreatment. This technology creates a green, efficient, and safe geological sample digestion process that does not rely on highly toxic reagents such as hydrofluoric acid. It reduces the use of chemical reagents such as acids and alkalis by more than 80%, effectively solving the problems of high pollution associated with traditional geological sample pretreatment techniques. It also avoids safety risks during experimental operations and aligns with modern green development concepts. However, the purity of commercially available ammonium bifluoride and ammonium fluoride reagents currently falls far short of the requirements for geological sample analysis and testing, necessitating the purification of these commercially available chemical reagents.

[0004] Many acid purification devices have been developed both domestically and internationally to address traditional acid digestion methods, such as the Savvillex DST-4000 acid purifier from the United States and the Binhai Zhenghong CH-500ml acid distillation apparatus from China. These purification devices are very expensive, have high maintenance costs, and limited functionality, only suitable for purifying liquid acids, with cumbersome post-treatment cleaning processes. Furthermore, the large-scale distillation and transfer of acid during operation poses certain safety risks.

[0005] In view of this, based on existing research on commonly used inorganic reagent purification technologies and equipment in laboratories, a highly efficient purification device was developed that can not only purify ammonium bifluoride and ammonium fluoride, but also simultaneously purify commonly used laboratory nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, and hydrofluoric acid. This aims to fill the current market gap in the lack of ultrapure ammonium bifluoride and ammonium fluoride purification equipment suitable for scientific research and laboratory use, and to promote the practical application of this novel "green geological sample digestion reagent" in geological experimental testing. Currently, no dedicated equipment for the purification of ammonium bifluoride and ammonium fluoride has been found domestically or internationally. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a highly efficient purification device for ammonium bifluoride and ammonium fluoride, so as to solve the problems existing in the prior art. The device has a small footprint and no harsh requirements on the working environment. It features uniform and stable heating, good safety performance, high efficiency and intelligence, convenient operation, long service life, and low maintenance cost. It can meet the needs of scientific research, teaching and mass production of pure ammonium bifluoride and ammonium fluoride.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following solution: The present invention provides a highly efficient purification device for ammonium bifluoride and ammonium fluoride, comprising a base and a cover; a top heating hole is provided on the top surface of the base; and a side heating hole is also provided on one side wall of the base with an inwardly inclined arrangement.

[0008] Each of the top heating holes and side heating holes is fitted with a PFA reagent bottle; the cap is placed on the top surface of the base and completely covers the top heating hole; several heating rods are also inserted through the base; the heating rods are electrically connected to the controller.

[0009] Furthermore, to better address the issue of easy condensation and crystallization clogging the channel at the bend, the device of this invention employs a graded three-channel system and a heating method with the bend wrapped around it. A corrosion-resistant Teflon coating is sprayed onto the surface of the graphite heating element. When ammonium bifluoride or ammonium fluoride reagent to be purified is placed in the middle reagent bottle and heated through the top heating hole, the vapor of the reagent rises and flows through the wrapped and heated PFA tee bend to the PFA reagent bottles on both sides. It condenses and crystallizes at the lower temperature at the mouth of the PFA reagent bottle and is collected at the bottom, improving purification efficiency. When the reagent to be purified is placed in the outer reagent bottle and heated through the side heating hole, the vapor of the reagent rises and flows through the wrapped and heated PFA tee bend. Most of it first condenses and crystallizes in the middle PFA reagent bottle and is collected at the bottom.

[0010] Because the middle PFA reagent bottle is located next to the graphite heating element, it is heated simultaneously with the bent tube, creating secondary heating. The vapor rises again and flows back to the bent tube, passing through the cooler outer PFA reagent bottle. After condensation and crystallization at the bottle mouth, it is collected at the bottom. After purification and cooling, the middle PFA collection bottle yields the first-stage high-purity ammonium bifluoride and ammonium fluoride reagents in powder form; the outer PFA collection bottle yields the second-stage ultrapure reagent after secondary purification, in slender needle-like form, which can be used for digesting special samples with low content and high blank requirements.

[0011] The PFA reagent bottle and the PFA tee elbow; each of the PFA tee elbows is equipped with three of the PFA reagent bottles, and one of the PFA reagent bottles contains ammonium bifluoride reagent or ammonium fluoride reagent.

[0012] Furthermore, high-purity ammonium bifluoride and ammonium fluoride, due to their superior digestion capabilities, extremely short digestion time, extremely low background, non-precipitation of fluoride compounds, and superior operational safety compared to hydrofluoric acid, have become a novel "green geological sample digestion reagent." This technology significantly improves the efficiency and data quality of geological sample analysis, representing a significant innovation in the field of green geological experimental testing technology. However, ultrapure ammonium bifluoride and ammonium fluoride, the main digestion reagents in this technology, are currently difficult to obtain commercially. Currently, the purity of domestically produced industrial-grade ammonium bifluoride is 98%, and the purity of analytical-grade ammonium bifluoride is 99.8%. This purity is too low to meet the requirements for trace element analysis. The highest purity domestic brand available on the market is Aladdin, whose ammonium bifluoride purity is 99.9975%. While the background values ​​for some elements meet the needs of trace element analysis, the content of impurities such as metal ions Li, Be, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Zr, Nb, Ba, As, and Pb is still relatively high compared to trace sample analysis. The Cr background value reaches 23 ng g⁻¹, 100 times higher than the background value of the conventional HF+HNO₃ method, and the Ni background value reaches 7.8 ng g⁻¹, 1977 times higher, far exceeding the conventional dissolution method. This cannot meet the requirements for high-precision trace element and isotope analysis of geological samples, necessitating the purification of both ammonium bifluoride and ammonium fluoride. Taking the purification of ammonium bifluoride as an example, let's first understand the physicochemical properties of ammonium bifluoride. Ammonium fluoride, also known as acidic ammonium fluoride, diammonium fluoride, or ammonium fluoride, has the molecular formula NH4HF2. It is a white or colorless transparent orthorhombic crystal, occurring in flaky form, with a slightly acidic odor. Its relative density is 1.52, melting point is 125.6℃, and boiling point is 240℃. It is hygroscopic in air, slightly soluble in alcohol, and readily soluble in cold water. It can be used as a sample digestion reagent and as a surface treatment agent, etching agent, disinfectant, and preservative in the high-precision electronics and pharmaceutical industries.

[0013] The cumbersome pretreatment process has long been a bottleneck to the rapid development of geological sample analysis. Digestion methods (open-system acid digestion, closed-system high-pressure digestion, alkali fusion) and the selection of digestion reagents (HF+HNO3, HF+HNO3+HCl, HF+HNO3+HClO4, HF+aqua regia+HClO4, and HF+HClO4) have remained largely unchanged for nearly 20 years. For samples rich in sparingly soluble accessory minerals (zircon), complete digestion requires more than 24 hours of closed digestion time.

[0014] In the field of Earth science research, with the specialization, deepening, and refinement of scientific questions, the detection limits for trace and ultra-trace element determination in geological samples have reached the ppt level, with linear dynamic ranges accurate to 10¹². However, it is worth noting that the laboratory environment and reagent selection have a significant impact on the final test results. In inorganic analysis, water and reagent purification preparation is crucial. The lower the content of the analyte, the higher the method sensitivity, and the higher the purity requirement for the reagents; the higher the accuracy requirement for the determination results, the higher the purity requirement for the reagents. In the blank values ​​of commercially available unpurified ammonium bifluoride, some elements show high background values ​​(Table 1), especially Cr and Ni, with Cr background values ​​reaching 23.23 ngg⁻¹ and Ni background values ​​reaching 7.8 ngg⁻¹, which cannot meet the requirements for trace element analysis of rock samples. Due to the physicochemical properties of ammonium bifluoride and ammonium fluoride, conventional laboratory quartz subboiling distillers and Savvillex DTS self-condensing purifiers cannot purify them.

[0015] In existing technology, the Savvillex flask subboiling distillation apparatus consists of two PFA flasks connected by a right-angle bend in the PFA tube. The ammonium bifluoride and ammonium fluoride reagents to be purified are poured into one of the PFA flasks. By adjusting the distance and angle of the infrared lamp, the temperature of the PFA flask containing the ammonium bifluoride and ammonium fluoride is maintained at 170°C. At this temperature, the ammonium bifluoride and ammonium fluoride melt into liquids (ammonium bifluoride melting point 125.6°C), slowly evaporate, and then condense and crystallize in the other PFA flask.

[0016] Because infrared lamp heating requires adjusting the distance and angle between the infrared lamp and the paired bottles and the bend, and the uncontrollable surrounding environment and human operation can affect the final purification effect, the process is challenging. During heating, due to the diameter, material, and thickness of the bend, there will be temperature loss in the internal channels. The temperature at the bend must be sufficiently high and uniform (170℃-200℃). Otherwise, if the temperature is too low, the condensed ammonium bifluoride and ammonium fluoride will easily crystallize and solidify at the bend, clogging the channels and eventually accumulating at the bend opening, making purification impossible. It is necessary to repeatedly turn off the infrared lamp, wait for the PFA bottle to cool, unscrew the bend, collect the condensed crystals, and gently tap and vibrate the bend to loosen and clean it before further purification can proceed. Using this paired-bottle sub-boiling distillation apparatus, the purification efficiency of ammonium bifluoride and ammonium fluoride is very low, and the operation is complex and subject to chance. Purifying approximately 50 grams of ammonium bifluoride and ammonium fluoride to meet sample pretreatment requirements takes about 2-3 days, and the low yield is insufficient to support large-scale sample analysis reagent consumption. In addition, ammonium bifluoride and ammonium fluoride are very hygroscopic and decompose into toxic fluorides. Purification using this device requires operators to frequently open the bottles, which poses certain safety hazards. Moreover, the workload of cleaning the equipment and treating the waste liquid when purifying ammonium bifluoride and ammonium fluoride using this method is also very large.

[0017] Experiments showed that adding 150g of ammonium bifluoride reagent to be purified to a reagent bottle in a Savvillex flask sub-boiling distillation apparatus and heating at 170°C for 12 hours yielded 5-10g of high-purity ammonium bifluoride reagent. The apparatus of this invention, by adding 300g of ammonium bifluoride reagent to one reagent bottle and heating at 230°C for 4 hours, yielded 50g of high-purity ammonium bifluoride reagent. If reagent is added to five reagent bottles simultaneously for purification, the purification efficiency of the apparatus of this invention is increased by 75 times compared to the Savvillex flask sub-boiling distillation apparatus.

[0018] Both the base and the cover are made of graphite.

[0019] The PFA tee elbow has a PFA reagent bottle installed at each of its two ends and in the middle.

[0020] A PFA reagent bottle is installed inside the top heating hole, and the PFA reagent bottle contains ammonium bifluoride reagent or ammonium fluoride reagent; the PFA reagent bottle is installed in the central connecting channel of the PFA tee elbow, and two empty PFA reagent bottles are respectively installed in the connecting channels on both sides of the PFA tee elbow.

[0021] The bottom surface of the cover is provided with an elbow heating hole; the elbow heating hole is used to heat the PFA tee elbow installed above the top heating hole.

[0022] The top heating holes and side heating holes are arranged alternately; a PFA reagent bottle is inserted into the side heating hole, and the PFA reagent bottle contains ammonium bifluoride reagent or ammonium fluoride reagent; the PFA reagent bottle is installed in the connecting channel on either side of the PFA tee elbow, and empty PFA reagent bottles are installed in the connecting channel on the other side and the central channel of the PFA tee elbow.

[0023] Each of the side heating holes is also equipped with an elbow heating plate; one side of the cover extends outward from the bottom to form an elbow heating block adapted to the elbow heating plate; the elbow heating plate is used to heat the PFA tee elbow installed on the protruding part of the side heating hole to prevent the condensing reagent from crystallizing and blocking the connecting channel.

[0024] The side heating hole is tilted at an angle of 44-46 degrees to the ground.

[0025] The heating rod is arranged around the top heating hole and the side heating hole.

[0026] The base surface is coated with a Teflon coating.

[0027] The present invention discloses the following technical effects: the purification device of the present invention has high purification efficiency, small footprint and no harsh requirements on the working environment, uniform and stable heating, good safety performance, high efficiency and intelligence, convenient operation, long service life and low maintenance cost, and can meet the needs of pure ammonium bifluoride and ammonium fluoride for scientific research and teaching.

[0037] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0038] The present invention provides a highly efficient purification device for ammonium bifluoride and ammonium fluoride, including a base 1 and a cover 2; a top heating hole 11 is provided on the top surface of the base 1; a side heating hole 9 is also provided inwardly on one side wall of the base 1.

[0041] Both the base 1 and the cover 2 are made of graphite.

[0042] A PFA reagent bottle 5 is installed at each end and in the middle of the PFA tee elbow 4;

[0044] The bottom surface of the cover 2 is provided with an elbow heating hole 7; the elbow heating hole 7 is used to heat the PFA tee elbow 4 installed above the top heating hole 11.

[0046] Each side heating hole 9 is also equipped with an elbow heating plate 10; one side bottom of the cover 2 extends outward to form an elbow heating block 8 that is adapted to the elbow heating plate 10; the elbow heating plate 10 is used to heat the PFA tee elbow 4 installed in the protruding part of the side heating hole 9 to prevent the condensed reagent crystallization from blocking the connecting channel.

[0047] The side heating hole 9 is tilted at an angle of 44-46 degrees to the ground.

[0048] Heating rod 3 is arranged around the top heating hole 11 and the side heating hole 9.

[0049] The surface of base 1 is coated with Teflon.

Its top has two vertical top heating holes 11, and its front has three side heating holes 9 at a 45° angle, with a bent heating plate 10 at each station. This prevents condensation at the top of the PFA tee bend 4 from causing channel blockage during heating and purification.
