Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of standard substance preparation, and particularly relates to a sphalerite standard substance and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Sulfide refers to a natural compound formed by combination of a metal element or a non-metal element with sulfur. Sulfide is the main source of many important metals, can often form large deposits with high reserves and easy mining, and has important economic significance. Sphalerite is one of the main ore minerals in magmatic hydrothermal deposits and MVT type deposits, and is also an important carrier of Ge, Ga, Cd, In and other dispersed metals.

[0003] Sulfur isotope is an important indicator for tracing the source of ore-forming material, the transport of ore-forming fluid, the mechanism of mineralization and the genesis of sulfide deposits. Microscale sulfur isotope information is more helpful for reconstructing the mineral formation process, revealing the characteristics of mineral growth and recrystallization, and deeply discussing the source of ore-forming material and the mechanism of mineralization.

[0004] Trace element geochemistry research is an important content of modern ore deposit research, and plays an important role in guiding the genesis of deposits, metallogenic regularity and metallogenic prediction. Microscale trace element analysis can directly help to distinguish ore-forming stages and indicate the source of ore-forming material according to the change of ore-forming elements.

[0005] At present, the sphalerite standard substance for sulfur isotope analysis and testing mainly includes NBS123 (American NIST standard, model number is SRM 8556), PSPT-3, SPH-1, PAS-GBW07270. Among them, NBS123 and SPH-1 are natural sphalerite, PSPT-3 is a powder pressed sheet, and PAS-GBW07270 is sintered by using a discharge plasma on the national standard GBW07270 powder. These materials do not elaborate the characteristics of trace elements in detail, and are not suitable for being used as standard substances for analyzing trace elements in sphalerite.

[0006] At present, the standard substances for trace elements include MASS-1 (American Geological Survey standard substance, full name is USGS MASS-1), MUL-ZnS-1, STDGL2b2 and STDGL3. Among them, MASS-1 is an international standard substance, which is a powder pressed sheet mixed by several sulfides. MUL-ZnS-1 has a matrix of a mixture of zinc sulfide, iron sulfide, cadmium sulfide and silver selenide, and is sintered into a solid after adding a trace element standard solution. The matrices of STDGL2b2 and STDGL3 are borate fusion cake, which are greatly different from the matrix of sulfide, and a correction factor needs to be introduced when correcting data. Table 1 shows the sulfur isotope composition and matrix composition of the above standard substances:

[0007] Table 1 Sulfur isotope composition and matrix components of the above-mentioned standard materials

[0008]

[0009]

[0010] Among the above sphalerite standard materials, there is no data on whether the trace elements are uniform for the standard materials tested for sulfur isotope analysis. And in the standard materials for trace element analysis, there is no complete consistency with the sphalerite matrix.

[0011] Nano-FeS2 is synthesized by using sulfur, ferrous chloride tetrahydrate and ethylene glycol as reaction reagents to synthesize pyrite nanoparticles by hydrothermal method, and then pressed into a cake-shaped solid standard material (Y. Feng, W. Zhang, Z. Hu, Y. Liu, K. Chen, J. Fu, J. Xie and Q. Shi, Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry, 2018, 33, 2172-2183.); but the obtained solid is still a powder-shaped pressed cake, and the physical and chemical properties are quite different from those of natural sphalerite.

[0061] In order to further illustrate the present application, the sphalerite standard substance and the preparation method thereof provided by the present application are described in detail below in combination with the drawings and examples, but they cannot be understood as limiting the protection scope of the present application.

[0062] Example 1

[0063] 1, Hydrothermal reaction process:

[0064] 1) Select zinc acetate as zinc source, ammonium sulfide as sulfur source.

[0065] 2) Dissolve 21.95 g (0.1 mol) of zinc acetate in 100 mL of deionized water (solvent).

[0066] 3) Add 2 mL of multi-element standard solution (As, Ba, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ga, Ge, In, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, Sc, Se, Te, V, Zn, Zr, each at a concentration of 100 ppm), 2 mL of Ga single standard solution (at a concentration of 100 ppm), and 2 mL of Ag single standard solution (at a concentration of 100 ppm).

[0067] 4) While stirring with a magnetic stirrer, add 30 mL of ammonium sulfide solution (at a concentration of 20 wt%, containing 0.1 mol of ammonium sulfide).

[0068] 5) Adjust the pH value to 12 with NaOH.

[0069] 6) Heat to 240℃ in a Teflon-lined autoclave for 24 hours.

[0070] 7) Naturally cool to room temperature, centrifuge, and then repeatedly wash with deionized water and ethanol.

[0071] 8) Transfer to a vacuum oven and bake at 150℃ for 2 hours.

[0072] 9) Grind the solid in an agate mortar for 5 minutes to obtain ZnS-based nanoparticles.

[0073] 2. Hot-pressing sintering process:

[0074] 1) Place 0.75 g of powder in a hydraulic press and press at a pressure of 1.5 t for 1 minute to form a round cake (8 mm in diameter, 9.2 mm high).

[0075] 2) Place the round cake in a platinum tube and seal.

[0076] 3) Place the platinum tube in a vertical press and heat at 350℃ and 0.6 GPa for 4 hours for high-pressure sintering to obtain a ZnS-based solid material (standard material of sphalerite).

[0077] Figure 1 The preparation flowchart of the sphalerite standard material of Example 1 of the present application is divided into a hydrothermal synthesis process and a hot-pressing sintering process.

[0078] Comparative Example 1

[0079] The difference from Example 1 is that the sulfur source is replaced by thioacetamide (0.1 mol) and the solvent is replaced by anhydrous ethanol, and the rest of the conditions are the same as in Example 1.

[0080] Comparative Example 2

[0081] The difference from Example 1 is that the sulfur source is replaced by thiourea (0.1 mol), and the rest of the conditions are the same as in Example 1.

[0082] The theoretical density of natural sphalerite is 4.111 g / cm 3 The measured density of the material synthesized in Example 1 of the present application is 4.106 g / cm 3 , which is consistent with that of natural sphalerite.

[0083] The sulfur isotope ratio is δ 34 S, which is 34 S and 32 S, can be used to trace the source of the material. The consistency of the sulfur isotope composition indicates that there is no isotopic fractionation in the synthesis process. The sulfur isotope ratio δ 34 S of the material synthesized in Example 1 of the present application is +17.22 ± 0.20 ‰ (2s), the sulfur isotope ratio of the standard material synthesized in Comparative Example 1 is 46.26 ‰, and the sulfur isotope ratio of the standard material synthesized in Comparative Example 2 is 36.04 ‰. The isotope ratio is too heavy (the sulfur isotope ratio needs to be as close to 0 as possible), which is not suitable for correcting the sulfur isotope ratio of natural minerals.

[0084] Table 2 is the determination results of the sphalerite standard material prepared in Example 1. The content of Zn in the sphalerite standard material is 66.68-66.73 wt%, and the content of S is 32.70-32.73 wt% (the range value of 240 points tested by LA-ICP-MS). The occurrence states of different trace elements are different, some of which enter the ZnS lattice, and some of which adhere to the crystal in the form of colloids. The content of trace elements in the sphalerite standard material is in the range of several ppm to several tens of ppm.

[0085] Table 2 is the determination results of the sphalerite standard material prepared in Example 1.

[0086]

[0087]

[0088] The block sintered in Example 1 of the present application can be polished and is not afraid of oxidation, and can be reused. The laser ablation characteristic map is as shown in Figures 2 to 13 , wherein Figures 2 to 4 is the material synthesized in Example 1 of the present application, Figures 5 to 7 is NBS123, Figures 8 to 10 is MASS-1, Figures 11 to 13The powder of the nanoparticles was pressed into a tablet (the material of Example 1 was directly pressed into a tablet after hydrothermal synthesis). It can be seen that the morphology of the etch pits of the ZnS material of Example 1 is perfect, and the etched aerosol is mostly small particles, which is close to the etch pits of natural sphalerite NBS123. The LA-ICP-MS was used to etch the synthesized material, and the collected element spectrum is smooth without small abnormal peaks. MASS-1 is a powder tablet, and the aerosol particles around the etch pits are large and loose in texture, and the spectrum collected by LA-ICP-MS has many small peaks.

[0089] Figure 14 Figures a and b are XRD patterns of the synthesized sphalerite nanoparticles and the ZnS bulk after sintering, respectively, which show that no wurtzite conversion occurs in the synthesis process; figure c shows that the wurtzite conversion is easy to occur when other reagents (ZnS powder synthesized by zinc acetate and thiourea, Comparative Example 2) are used for synthesis, and the wurtzite conversion will occur no matter how the synthesis temperature is set.

[0090] The bulk material of Example 1 was ground into powder for TEM and HRTEM tests, Figure 15 Figures are TEM and HRTEM data of the ZnS material of Example 1, which show that the synthesized material is sphalerite single crystal, the particle size is 100-800 nm, and the crystal structure is regular cubic single crystal.

[0091] The same synthesis method as that of Example 1 was used to synthesize once a month (a total of 5 times), and then the isotopic ratio was measured. The final sulfur isotopic ratio of each solid material is consistent, which is +16.86±0.36‰ (2s, n=19), +16.90±0.32‰ (2s, n=50), +16.93±0.21‰ (2s, n=30), +16.93±0.30‰ (2s, n=21), +16.97±0.26‰ (2s, n=20), which shows that the synthesis method can ensure the stability and uniformity of the sulfur isotopic ratio. Then, the ZnS material of Example 1 was used to correct NBS123 and PAS-GBW07270, and the results are shown in Figure 16 Figures, and the obtained sulfur isotopic ratio is consistent with the recommended value, which shows that the synthesized material of Example 1 is completely feasible as a sulfur isotopic correction material.

[0092] The ZnS solid synthesized in Example 1 was cut into 8 parts of the same size, and 70 points of each part were measured by LA-MC-ICP-MS, all of which were calibrated by NBS123, and the obtained sulfur isotope ratios were consistent, being +17.07±0.20‰(2s, n=70), +17.10±0.16‰(2s, n=70), +17.13±0.18‰(2s, n=70), +17.18±0.20‰(2s, n=70), +17.09±0.20‰(2s, n=70), +17.13±0.24‰(2s, n=70), +17.09±0.20‰(2s, n=70) and +17.11±0.20‰(2s, n=70) respectively, proving the uniformity of the synthesized material.

[0093] First, the ZnS synthesized in Example 1 was detected by ICP-MS to obtain the content of each element. Then, the same piece of ZnS material was detected by LA-ICP-MS in three laboratories respectively, and 20 points were measured in each laboratory. The content of each element obtained in each laboratory was compared with the ICP-MS test result to calculate the relative deviation (Relative deviation) as the Y axis, and the X axis was each element to obtain the corresponding scatter plot as shown in Figure 17 The conclusion obtained in each laboratory was consistent and consistent with the ICP-MS test result. It is proved that the results of multi-laboratory comparison and multi-method comparison are consistent, and the element distribution is uniform.

[0094] The sphalerite standard material prepared by the present application has consistent physical and chemical properties with natural sphalerite, and can be used as a standard material for LA-MC-ICP-MS determination of sphalerite sulfur isotope and can be used in LA-ICP-MS determination of sphalerite trace elements. The sphalerite standard material has uniform element distribution and consistent sulfur isotope composition, and has consistent matrix and sphalerite crystal structure and consistent major components (Zn and S).

[0095] Although the above examples have made a detailed description of the present application, it is only a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments, and other embodiments can be obtained according to the embodiments of the present application without creative labor, which belong to the protection scope of the present application.
