Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear power, and in particular relates to a boric acid detector based on an ultra-narrow band filter-photomultiplier tube. Background Art

[0002] Boric acid needs to be added to the primary coolant of a nuclear power plant to control the reaction of the core and achieve smooth operation of the nuclear power plant. Therefore, accurate measurement of the concentration of borate ions is crucial to the safe operation of the nuclear power plant.

[0003] Compared with the common gas and liquid chromatography or mass spectrometry methods for detecting compounds, Raman spectroscopy analysis technology is based on the Raman scattering phenomenon and can directly obtain the molecular vibration information of each material group in the sample. Raman spectroscopy has rich and sharp characteristic peaks. When the experimental conditions such as the frequency and intensity of the incident light are determined, the test sample can be qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed based on the data such as the number, position and intensity of the spectrum peaks. In addition, due to its principle characteristics, it can realize real-time monitoring of the reaction process, monitor the changes in the reaction materials and the level of the reaction system parameters, and avoid the problems of long measurement cycle, sampling lag and complex sample pretreatment of traditional analysis methods. It plays an important role in optimizing process operations, improving product quality and economic benefits, reducing production losses and environmental pollution, and is widely used in chemical, material, petrochemical and biomedicine fields. Therefore, online Raman spectroscopy detection technology will become an important development direction.

[0004] At present, the common Raman spectrum detection system needs to add a spectroscopic grating and a CCD camera to the system to build a spectrometer before the Raman spectrum can be analyzed and processed.

The automatic sampling system includes a sample pool 5 and a reflective unit, and the reflective unit is arranged on the sample pool 5; An online Raman detection system comprises a laser generating unit 1, two groups of Raman detection units and two groups of photoelectric detection units, wherein the two groups of Raman detection units and the two groups of photoelectric detection units are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and the photoelectric detection units are arranged behind the optical path extension of the Raman detection units, the two groups of Raman detection units are respectively a first Raman detection unit and a second Raman detection unit, the first Raman detection unit is used to separate the Raman signal peak of borate ions, and the second Raman detection unit is used to separate the Raman signal peak of water molecules; The data acquisition and processing system 15 is connected to the photoelectric detection unit signal.

[0030] The laser generating unit 1 is turned on, and the laser enters the sample pool 5 and passes through the reflective unit to increase the laser power level in the sample pool 5. Then the Raman scattered light is divided into two groups and passes through the first Raman detection unit and the second Raman detection unit respectively. The first Raman detection unit is used to separate the Raman signal peak of the borate ion, and the second Raman detection unit is used to separate the Raman signal peak of the water molecule. The two groups of photoelectric detection units are used to collect the Raman scattering signals of boric acid and water molecules respectively, and the optical signals are converted into electrical signals and input into the data acquisition and processing system 15. The data is processed by the relevant software, and the laser power background noise measured before is subtracted, and the collected water peak spectrum signal is subtracted at the same time, so that the Raman spectrum peak height value of the final borate ion concentration can be obtained. After normalization, the accurate value of the borate ion concentration in the solution to be tested is finally obtained.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the solution shown in the embodiment of the present application, by providing two groups of Raman detection units and two groups of photoelectric detection units in the sample pool 5, can greatly improve the sensitivity of weak light detection in a large range and enhance the specificity of borate ion detection, while also greatly reducing the cost of the Raman spectrum detection system and reducing the difficulty of operation, thereby solving the technical problems of the prior art that the cost is high, the operation is difficult, and the large-scale promotion and application are impossible.

[0032] The two groups of photoelectric detection units are respectively a first photoelectric detection unit and a second photoelectric detection unit. The first photoelectric detection unit is arranged behind the optical path extension of the first Raman detection unit, and the second photoelectric detection unit is arranged behind the optical path extension of the second Raman detection unit.

The first photoelectric detection unit and the second photoelectric detection unit are both connected to the data acquisition and processing system 15 by signals.

[0033] The reflective unit reflects the laser back to the sample pool 5 to increase the laser intensity. The excited Raman scattered light first passes through the first long-pass filter 7 to shield the excitation light source, and then passes through the ultra-narrow band filter 8 to completely separate the Raman signal peak of the borate ion. At the same time, on the front side of the sample pool 5, the Raman scattered light will also first pass through the second long-pass filter 11 to shield the laser source, and then pass through the band-pass filter 12 to separate the Raman scattered light of the water molecules. After the Raman peaks of borate ions and water molecules are completely separated by the first long-pass filter 7 and the second long-pass filter 11 in front, the Raman scattered signal light enters the first photoelectric detection unit, and the first photoelectric detection unit converges the Raman signal scattered light and finally converts it into an electrical signal. The first photoelectric detection unit converts the weak Raman scattered light signal into an electrical signal and inputs it into the data acquisition and processing system 15 for processing related data such as borate ion concentration; at the same time, on the other side of the sample pool 5, the Raman spectrum signal of water molecules is screened out by the second long-pass filter 11 and the bandpass filter 12 and enters the second photoelectric detection unit, and the weak light signal is converted into an electrical signal by entering the second photoelectric detection unit and input into the data acquisition and processing system 15 for Raman spectrum signal analysis and processing of the water peak.

[0034] This embodiment can greatly improve the sensitivity of weak light detection and enhance the specificity of borate ion detection by using an ultra-narrow bandwidth filter; at the same time, it can greatly reduce the cost of the Raman spectroscopy detection system and reduce the difficulty of operation, thus solving the technical problems of the prior art that the cost is high, the operation is difficult, and the large-scale promotion and application are impossible.

[0035] In other embodiments, the first photodetection unit includes a first convex mirror element 9 and a first photodetection element 10, and the first photodetection element 10 is arranged behind the extension of the optical path of the first convex mirror element 9; the second photodetection unit includes a second convex mirror element 13 and a second photodetection element 14, and the second photodetection element 14 is arranged behind the extension of the optical path of the second convex mirror element 13; The first photodetection element 10 and the second photodetection element 14 are used to convert the optical signal into an electrical signal.

[0036] The first convex mirror element 9 and the second convex mirror element 13 can converge weak light and transmit it to the correspondingly arranged first photodetection element 10 and second photodetection element 14, so that the first photodetection element 10 and the second photodetection element 14 respectively convert the received light signals into electrical signals.

The laser enters the sample pool 5 from the first window 504, passes through the second window 505, and is reflected back to the sample pool 5 by the second concave reflector, thereby increasing the number of times the laser passes through the sample and enhancing the intensity of the excitation light. The generated Raman scattered light signal is transmitted through the third window 506 and the fourth window 507, and enters the subsequent filter to separate the Raman scattered light peak.

[0040] Furthermore, the online Raman detection system is also provided with a beam splitter prism 2 and a power meter 3.

When the sample pool 5 needs to be emptied of the test liquid, the valve on the liquid outlet pipe 502 is opened.

[0045] Specifically, the laser generating unit 1 emits energy of 50 mW-500 mW.
