It can adjust the pH of alkaline water, organically combine with suspended solids in water, and accelerate precipitation. It is mainly used in water purification and industrial wastewater treatment, and also has bactericidal properties. Nickel sulfate, with the molecular formula NiSO4, is also an analytical reagent used in chemical analysis. It is mainly used in the electroplating industry, as it is the main nickel salt for electroplating nickel and electroless nickel plating, and also a source of metallic nickel ions. During electroplating, it can dissociate nickel ions and sulfate ions. In the production of hardened oils, it is a catalyst for the hydrogenation of oils and fats. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used as a catalyst in the oxidation reaction of vitamin C production. In the inorganic industry, it is used as a main raw material for the production of other nickel salts such as nickel ammonium sulfate, nickel oxide, and nickel carbonate. In the printing and dyeing industry, it is used to produce phthalocyanine brilliant blue complexing agents and as a dyeing agent for vat dyes. Additionally, it can be used in the production of nickel-cadmium batteries.
[0003] Currently, methods for detecting ferrous sulfate and nickel sulfate include liquid chromatography, spectrophotometry, and electrochemical methods. However, most of these methods require large equipment and are expensive, making them unsuitable for on-site testing. Therefore, finding a detection and analysis method that is effective, easy to operate, and rapid is essential. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention aims to provide Fe metal ions 2+ and Ni 2+ A novel and convenient method for distinguishing different metal ions is provided, namely, a qualitative detection method using a "urease-CO(NH2)2-H2SO4" pH clock system as the distinguishing solution. This method is based on the different sensitivity responses of this pH clock system to different metal ions. Specifically, the "urease-CO(NH2)2-H2SO4" pH clock reaction system is used as the distinguishing solution, and the pH change over time is recorded. When the pH clock reaction begins, equal volumes of samples containing the same concentration of Fe metal ions are added... 2+ or Ni 2+ The sample solution (FeSO4 or NiSO4) to be distinguished is added to two sets of pH clock systems. Based on the different induction times of the sample to be distinguished to the pH clock system, the qualitative distinction of the sample to be distinguished is achieved.
[0005] The difference between this qualitative differentiation method and existing technologies lies in the application of a "urease-CO(NH2)2-H2SO4" pH clock system as the differentiating solution. The differentiation of samples is achieved based on the different induction times of the pH clock system produced by the samples to be differentiated. If the induction time of the pH clock is slightly prolonged after adding the differentiating solution, then the added sample contains Fe metal ions. 2+ If the induction time of the pH clock is significantly prolonged after adding the solution to be distinguished, then the added sample contains Ni metal ions. 2+ sample;
[0006] When the sample solution to be distinguished is detected in the distinguishing solution (pH clock system), the temperature of the pH clock system is controlled at any specific temperature within the range of 20-30℃.
[0007] Metal ion Fe 2+ and Ni 2+ The distinguishable concentration range in the distinguishing solution (pH clock system) is 2.5 × 10⁻⁶. -5 -3.0×10 -5 mol / L.
[0008] The concentration range that the above-mentioned solutions can distinguish is the optimal concentration range determined experimentally. Within this concentration range, the metal ion Fe... 2+ and Ni 2+ The effects of the differentiating solution on the pH clock system are very significant, easy to observe and analyze, and easy to differentiate. Furthermore, the concentration ranges of each component in the differentiating solution (pH clock system) are shown in Table 1, and the optimal solution for the differentiating solution (pH clock system) obtained through multiple experiments is shown in Table 2.

[0013] The specific experimental steps are as follows:
[0014] 1. Prepare 40 mL of differentiating solution (pH clock system) according to the concentration range specified in Table 1, maintaining its temperature at a specific value between 20-30℃. Insert the prepared working electrode (pH composite electrode, Leici, E-331) into the solution. Connect the other end of the working electrode to a computer via a potential / temperature / pH integrated tester (Jiaxing Disheng Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., ZHFX-595). Open the chemical signal acquisition and analysis program on the computer, set the acquisition time and sampling speed, and quickly click the start button to monitor the pH of the solution. The computer records the collected pH change curve over time, i.e., the pH clock spectrum. When a substance needs to be detected, add the analyte immediately after the pH clock system reaction begins, and record the pH change over time in the same manner.

[0016] Induction time: The time required from the start of the reaction in the pH clock system to the pH jump.
[0017] pH jump range: from the pH at which the pH jump begins to the pH at which the pH jump ends. Attached Figure Description
