Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of atmospheric particulate matter analysis and detection, and in particular to an atmospheric particulate matter analysis method and device based on high-low accelerating voltage coupled analysis. Background Art
[0002] Atmospheric particulate matter pollution has been one of the most serious environmental problems in my country over the past decade. Scanning electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) is a commonly used method for single-particle atmospheric analysis, capable of analyzing the morphology and elemental composition of individual atmospheric particles. The development of computer-controlled scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (CCSEM-EDS) technology has enabled automated sample positioning, image acquisition, and compositional analysis, and has been widely used in recent years for characterizing atmospheric particulate matter samples.
[0003] Currently, achieving optimal CCSEM-EDS analysis results requires specific requirements for particulate matter sample collection and electron microscope parameter settings. First, the sampling filter membrane must be smooth and flat. Polycarbonate (PC) filters are currently the most commonly used atmospheric particulate sampling filters for CCSEM-EDS analysis. Second, a higher accelerating voltage (e.g., 20 keV) must be selected. Lower accelerating voltages are insufficient to excite high-atomic-number atoms in the sample to produce X-rays, thus affecting the accuracy and precision of elemental analysis of particulate matter. Furthermore, to achieve a high contrast between the particles and the membrane after imaging, particles are often automatically identified based on the BSE detector signal threshold. However, high accelerating voltages (e.g., 20 keV) have strong penetrating power, making it difficult for CCSEM-EDS to identify particles with a chemical composition similar to that of the filter membrane (e.g., PC), potentially leading to missed identification.
[0004] Therefore, how to invent an atmospheric particulate matter analysis method based on high and low accelerating voltage coupling analysis, which can combine the advantages of scanning electron microscope energy spectrum technology in elemental analysis capability at high accelerating voltage and imaging capability at low accelerating voltage, and more accurately capture environmental particulate matter on the filter membrane, has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0056] Example 1
[0057] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides an atmospheric particulate matter analysis method based on high-low accelerating voltage coupled analysis, comprising:
[0058] S1. Place an environmental particulate matter sample into a scanning electron microscope sample chamber and set three aiming points in the area to be analyzed; perform a first analysis of the environmental particulate matter sample using the scanning electron microscope at a low accelerating voltage, and record and obtain the first aiming point position coordinates of the three aiming points, the first particle position coordinates of each particle, and the maximum particle size data;
[0059] S2. performing a second analysis on the environmental particulate matter sample using the scanning electron microscope at a high acceleration voltage, recording and obtaining the second aiming point position coordinates of the three aiming points and the second particle position coordinates of each particle;
[0060] S3. Obtaining a position coordinate difference between the first aiming point position coordinate and the second aiming point position coordinate of the three aiming points by calculation;

Obtaining, by calculation, the distance from each particle to each of the three aiming points based on the first particle position coordinates of each particle; and obtaining, by calculation, the weight of the position coordinate difference of each of the three aiming points for each particle based on the distance from each particle to each of the three aiming points;
[0062] S5.

[0063] S6. Calculate and obtain the coordinate range of each particle during the second analysis based on the maximum particle size data of each particle and the predicted center coordinates of each particle during the second analysis; search the second analysis results for particles that meet the coordinate range based on the coordinate range of each particle during the second analysis; and process the analysis results of each particle based on the search results to obtain a final analysis result for each particle in the environmental particulate matter.
[0064] In this embodiment, in step S1, an environmental particulate matter sample is placed in a scanning electron microscope sample chamber, and three aiming points are set in the area to be analyzed; the environmental particulate matter sample is first analyzed by the scanning electron microscope at a low acceleration voltage, and the first aiming point position coordinates of the three aiming points, the first particle position coordinates of each particle, and the maximum particle size data are recorded and obtained;
[0065] Specifically, the environmental particulate matter sample is placed in the scanning electron microscope sample chamber, and the sample is first analyzed at a low acceleration voltage (5kev). During the analysis, the sample stage is prohibited from rotating and tilting. The environmental particulate matter samples in this embodiment are 4 environmental particulate matter samples collected in Beijing using a polycarbonate filter membrane. Carbonaceous particles (C-rich) have similar chemical compositions to polycarbonate filter membranes, both consisting of C and O elements. Therefore, taking the analysis effect of carbonaceous particles as an example, three aiming points should be set in the area to be analyzed during sample analysis, such as Figure 3 And record the coordinates of the first aiming point of the three aiming points (x 1,j ,y 1,j ), where j represents the jth aiming point. The first particle position coordinates and maximum particle size data of each particle are recorded simultaneously.
[0066] In this embodiment, in step S2, the environmental particulate matter sample is analyzed a second time by the scanning electron microscope under a high acceleration voltage, and the second aiming point position coordinates of the three aiming points and the second particle position coordinates of each particle are recorded and obtained;
[0067] Specifically, the second analysis of the atmospheric particulate matter sample was performed under high acceleration voltage (20kev) conditions, and the analysis area remained the same as the first step. The position coordinates of the second aiming point of the three aiming points (x 2,j ,y 2,j ), where j represents the jth aiming point. At the same time, the second particle position coordinates of each particle analyzed are recorded. The imaging effect of carbonaceous particles under 5kev and 20kev conditions is as follows Figure 4 shown.
[0068] In this embodiment, in step S3, the position coordinate difference between the first aiming point position coordinate and the second aiming point position coordinate of the three aiming points is obtained by calculation;
[0069] Specifically, the coordinate difference (Δx j ,Δy j ), where Δx j =x 2,j -x 1,j , Δy j =x 2,j -x 1,j .
[0070] In this embodiment, in step S4, the distance from each particle to each of the three aiming points is obtained by calculation based on the first particle position coordinates of each particle;
[0071] Specifically, the calculation formula for the distance from each particle to each of the three aiming points is:
[0072]
[0073] Where, d i,j is the distance from the i-th particle to the j-th aiming point obtained from the first analysis; x i and y i is the position coordinate of the i-th particle obtained from the first analysis; 1,j and y 1,j is the coordinate position of the j-th aiming point obtained from the first analysis.
[0074] Calculate, based on the distance from each particle to each of the three aiming points, a weight of the position coordinate difference of each of the three aiming points on each particle;
[0075] Specifically, the calculation formula for the weight of each particle based on the position coordinate difference of each aiming point is:
[0076]
[0077] Where w i,j The weight of the coordinate difference calculated for the j-th aiming point on the i-th particle.
[0078] In this embodiment, in step S5, the predicted center coordinates of each particle during the second analysis are calculated using an inverse distance weighted strategy based on the weight of each particle obtained by calculating the difference between the first particle position coordinates of each particle and the position coordinates of each of the three aiming points.
[0079] Specifically, the calculation formula for the predicted center coordinates of each particle during the second analysis is:
[0080]
[0081] Where x i ′ and y i ′ are the predicted center coordinates of the particle in the second analysis; Δx j and Δy j are position coordinate differences between the first aiming point position coordinates and the second aiming point position coordinates of the three aiming points.
[0082] In this embodiment, in step S6, the coordinate range of each particle when performing the second analysis is calculated based on the maximum particle size data of each particle and the predicted center coordinates of each particle when performing the second analysis;
[0083] Specifically, the coordinate range expression is:
[0084] x i ′-D i≤x≤x i ′+D i
[0085] y i ′-D i ≤y≤y i ′+D i
[0086] Where D i is the maximum particle size of the i-th particle obtained in the first analysis.
[0087] According to the coordinate range of each particle during the second analysis, particles that meet the coordinate range are searched in the second analysis results; according to the search results, the analysis results of each particle are processed to obtain the final analysis results of each particle in the environmental particulate matter.
[0088] Specifically, based on the above coordinate range, the second analysis results are searched for particles that fit within this coordinate range. If a corresponding particle can be retrieved, it indicates that the particle was detected in both analyses, and the final analysis result is based on the second analysis result. Conversely, if no particle is retrieved, the particle is marked as "unmatched" and its single particle image, particle size, and chemical composition data are recorded. The second analysis results are combined with the particles marked as "unmatched" in the first analysis results to obtain the final atmospheric particulate matter analysis results that combine both high and low accelerating voltage analysis modes.
[0089] In this embodiment, considering the high uncertainty of high atomic number elements under low accelerating voltage conditions, the present invention divides the particles analyzed in the first analysis into two categories: carbonaceous particles (C-rich) and others (Other). The second analysis (under high accelerating voltage) divides the particles into different types according to the main elements of the particles. Based on the present invention, the analysis capability of carbonaceous particles can be significantly improved. Compared with the analysis under high accelerating voltage alone, the computer-controlled scanning electron microscope energy spectrum technology can be used to analyze PM1 and PM2.5 particles. 2.5-1 The detection ability of carbonaceous particles in the particle size segment was improved by 39.8% and 88.4% on average. Figure 5 shown.
[0090] In summary, the present invention places an environmental particulate matter sample into a scanning electron microscope sample chamber, and sets three aiming points in the area to be analyzed; performs a first analysis on the environmental particulate matter sample by the scanning electron microscope at a low acceleration voltage, records and obtains the first aiming point position coordinates of the three aiming points, the first particle position coordinates of each particle, and the maximum particle size data; performs a second analysis on the environmental particulate matter sample by the scanning electron microscope at a high acceleration voltage, records and obtains the second aiming point position coordinates of the three aiming points and the second particle position coordinates of each particle; obtains the position coordinate difference between the first aiming point position coordinates and the second aiming point position coordinates of the three aiming points by calculation; obtains the distance from each particle to each of the three aiming points by calculation based on the first particle position coordinates of each particle; obtains the maximum particle size data based on the distance from each particle to the three aiming points The method comprises the following steps: calculating the distance between each aiming point and the weight of each particle for the position coordinate difference of each of the three aiming points; calculating the predicted center coordinate of each particle during the second analysis based on the first particle position coordinate of each particle and the weight of the position coordinate difference of each of the three aiming points for each particle using an inverse distance weighting strategy; calculating the coordinate range of each particle during the second analysis based on the maximum particle size data of each particle and the predicted center coordinate of each particle during the second analysis; searching the second analysis results for particles that meet the coordinate range based on the coordinate range of each particle during the second analysis; processing the analysis results of each particle based on the search results to obtain the final analysis result of each particle in the environmental particulate matter. The present invention addresses the problem that conventional computer-controlled scanning electron microscope energy spectrum technology has low efficiency in identifying particles with chemical compositions similar to those of membranes when analyzing environmental particulate matter samples. The present invention combines the advantages of computer-controlled scanning electron microscope-energy spectrum technology in elemental analysis capabilities at high accelerating voltages and imaging capabilities at low accelerating voltages to more accurately capture environmental particulate matter on the filter membrane.
