Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of raw material analysis technology, specifically relating to a rapid and accurate method for determining the phosphorus content in dolomite and limestone. Background Technology

[0002] Dolomite and limestone have a wide range of applications in the chemical, metallurgical, building materials, and other industries. In the iron and steel metallurgical industry, they are mainly used as basic refractory materials in steelmaking converters, open-hearth furnaces, and electric furnace walls. They are also used in ladle refining equipment and thermal equipment such as cement kilns. Dolomite and limestone also play a role in desulfurization and dephosphorization during steelmaking, increasing furnace viscosity and purifying molten steel. The main hazard of phosphorus in dolomite and limestone during steelmaking is that it causes cold brittleness in steel during hot working; therefore, accurate determination of its phosphorus content is of great importance.

[0003] Patent document CN117554310A (hereinafter referred to as Document 1) discloses a method for accurately determining the phosphorus content in slaked lime. This method involves melting the slaked lime sample using sodium hydroxide and sodium peroxide during sample dissolution and then leaching the melt with nitric acid. This method can accurately determine the phosphorus content in slaked lime, with a recovery rate of 98-106% in spiking experiments, demonstrating high detection accuracy. However, possibly due to differences in chemical composition and properties between slaked lime and dolomite and limestone, the accuracy of spiking experiments is lower when the method disclosed in Document 1 is used to determine the phosphorus content in dolomite and limestone. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method for accurately detecting the phosphorus content in dolomite and limestone. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a rapid and accurate method for determining the phosphorus content in dolomite and limestone, comprising melting the sample with a mixed flux containing sodium carbonate and sodium peroxide, and detecting the phosphorus content using the sodium fluoride-stannous chloride-phosphomolybdic blue colorimetric method.

[0005] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of sodium carbonate to sodium peroxide in the mixed flux is 1:(1-3).

[0006] In some implementations, the method includes the following steps:

[0007] 1) Melt the sample with the mixed flux, then extract with nitric acid. Optionally, when manganese precipitate appears, add hydrogen peroxide dropwise. Boil the solution until no more bubbles appear, and cool it to room temperature with running water to obtain the extraction solution.

[0008] 2) Take a certain amount of the extraction solution obtained in step 1), add nitric acid, and after heating to boiling, add potassium permanganate solution dropwise. Then, add a mixture of potassium sodium tartrate and ammonium molybdate, a mixture of sodium fluoride and tin dichloride, and water in sequence to obtain the sample solution; and

[0009] 3) Determine the absorbance of the sample solution obtained in step 2), and obtain the phosphorus content in the sample through a standard curve.

[0010] In some embodiments, the temperature of melting the sample with the mixed flux in step 1) is 650-750°C and the time is 5-10 min.

[0011] In some embodiments, the acidity during extraction with nitric acid in step 1) is controlled to be 0.8-1.2 mol / L.

[0012] In some implementations, the method includes the following steps:

[0013] S1) Weigh 0.2000g of sample into a corundum crucible, add 0.5g of sodium carbonate and 1.0g of sodium peroxide, mix well, and melt in a muffle furnace at 650-750℃ until a bright red liquid appears. Remove and cool, then place in a beaker pre-filled with nitric acid for extraction. The acidity should be controlled at 0.8-1.2mol / L. When manganese precipitate appears, add hydrogen peroxide dropwise. Boil the solution until no bubbles appear, cool to room temperature under running water, and then transfer the solution to a 100mL volumetric flask. Dilute with water to the mark and shake well to obtain the extraction solution.

[0014] S2) Take 10 mL of the extraction solution obtained in step S1), add 5 mL of nitric acid (7+3), or when the phosphorus content in the sample is greater than 0.5%, take 5 mL of the extraction solution obtained in step S1), add 5 mL of nitric acid (3+17); heat to boiling, add three drops of potassium permanganate (40 g / L), boil for another 10 seconds, remove from heat, immediately add 10 mL of potassium sodium tartrate-ammonium molybdate mixture, shake for 10 seconds, add 50 mL of sodium fluoride-tin dichloride mixture, and water, stir well, and dilute to volume to obtain the sample solution; and

[0015] S3) Determine the absorbance of the sample solution obtained in step S2), and obtain the phosphorus content in the sample through a standard curve.

[0016] In some embodiments, the linear relationship of the standard curve with absorbance as the ordinate and phosphorus percentage concentration as the abscissa is: y = 1.5866x + 0.0052, R 2 =0.9997.

[0017] The method for accurately determining the phosphorus content in dolomite and limestone based on the above technical solution involves melting the sample with a mixed flux (containing sodium carbonate and sodium peroxide in a mass ratio of 1:(1-3)). Compared to the method disclosed in Document 1, which uses a mixed flux composed of sodium hydroxide and sodium peroxide to melt the sample, this method is more conducive to the complete melting of dolomite and / or limestone samples and the accurate detection of phosphorus content in the samples. The recovery rate of the spiked recovery experiment of the method provided by this invention is between 98% and 103%, with high accuracy and rapid detection, obtaining results within 30 minutes. This can provide accurate data for the application of dolomite and limestone. Attached Figure Description

Melt in a muffle furnace at 650-750℃ (5-10 min) until a bright red liquid is formed.

Heat for extraction. Clean the crucible thoroughly (this step ensures all sample is transferred to the beaker). If manganese precipitate appears, add hydrogen peroxide. Boil the solution until no bubbles appear, then cool to room temperature under running water. Transfer the solution to a 100 mL volumetric flask and dilute to the mark with water.

[0053] Experimental Group 2: Weigh 0.4000g of limestone sample and divide it into two equal parts. Add 0.005% phosphorus standard solution to one part and do not add phosphorus standard solution to the other part. Perform the spiked recovery experiment according to the method (step 1.1) of this invention. Repeat three times and calculate the average value. The results are shown in Table 3 below.

[0054] Experimental Group 3: Weigh 0.4000g of dolomite sample and divide it into two equal parts.

However, experimental groups 3 and 4, using the method described in Reference 1, melted the samples with a mixed flux containing sodium hydroxide and sodium peroxide, with average recoveries of 107.6% and 94.7%, respectively, indicating relatively low accuracy. This suggests that the method described in Reference 1 may not be suitable for accurately determining the phosphorus content in dolomite and limestone.

The exemplary results are shown in Table 4. It can be seen that the RSD is less than 1%, therefore the method of the present invention has good precision.
