[0002] The establishment of the standard curve of X-ray fluorescence spectrometry requires a large number of standard samples, and there are certain requirements for the types and content ranges of the elements to be measured. If the number of standard samples is insufficient, there is no standard sample group with a wide content distribution range and a good step shape, or there are no standard samples that meet the requirements for sale, standard samples need to be prepared manually.

[0003] The usual method of preparing standard samples is to weigh the reference reagents of the elements to be measured in turn according to the required ratio, mix them evenly, and use them as a standard sample for establishing a standard curve. The number of standard samples of the corresponding ratio is the number of points required to establish the standard curve. The disadvantage of this method is that it is labor-intensive. Each reference reagent of the element to be measured needs to be accurately weighed. If there are many elements to be measured, a large number of standard samples need to be prepared, which is a very large workload.

[0033] The characteristics and performance of the standard sample preparation method and use method for X-ray fluorescence analysis of the present application are further described in detail below in conjunction with the examples.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present application embodiment provides a method for preparing a standard sample for X-ray fluorescence analysis, comprising the following steps:

[0035] Step 1: Mix the reference reagents of various elements to be tested with the release agent and flux, put them into a white plastic barrel, add zirconium oxide balls, shake and mix them on a mixer for about 36 hours, and stir them evenly to obtain a mixed sample; optionally, the reference reagents of various elements to be tested include SiO2, Fe2O3, Al2O3, CaCO3, MgO, TiO2, MnO2, Cr2O3, ZrO2, LiPO3, Li2SO4, K2CO3, Na2CO3, WO3, V2O5, LiF; optionally, the mass ratio of the reference reagents, release agent, and flux of the elements to be tested is 1-0.5: 0.033-0.083: 10. Optionally, the release agent includes NH4Br and NH4I. Optionally, the flux is calcined at above 700° C. for more than 9 hours before mixing; optionally, the reference reagent of the element to be measured is dried or calcined before mixing; optionally, the flux can be a single type of flux or a mixture of multiple fluxes.

[0036] Step 2: Pour the evenly stirred sample into the mold of the tablet press 100, flatten it with a flattener, cover it with the tablet press cover 140, and use the tablet press 100 to compact and cut it into multiple blocks. Optionally, when pouring the evenly stirred sample into the mold for compaction, maintain the pressure at 20-40t for 20-30s. Optionally, when pouring the evenly stirred sample into the mold for compaction and cutting it into multiple blocks, the number of blocks cut is the same as the grams of the flux. Optionally, when cutting into multiple blocks, control the blade cutter on the top wall of the tablet press cover 140 to descend to cut the compacted sample into blocks of uniform size;

[0037] Step 3: The cut sample is sealed using a PTP blister package. The PTP blister includes a blister made of polyvinyl chloride or polyvinylidene chloride and a covering layer covering the outer wall of the blister. The covering layer is aluminum foil or an aluminum foil composite material.

[0038] The present application also provides a method for using a standard sample for X-ray fluorescence analysis, which comprises the following steps:

[0039] Step 1: prepare multiple groups of samples using the above-mentioned standard sample preparation method for X-ray fluorescence analysis, each group of samples containing different contents of the elements to be tested;

[0040] Step 2: selectively mix and melt multiple sample blocks to prepare standard sample glass samples, and the sum of the contents of the elements to be tested in the multiple sample blocks is equal to the content of the required elements to be tested.

[0041] Step 3: Analyze the standard sample glass sample using an X-ray fluorescence analysis method.

[0042] The method for preparing standard samples for X-ray fluorescence analysis provided by the present application innovatively mixes the reference reagents, co-solvents and fluxes of various elements to be tested in a certain proportion, pours them into a mold for compaction and then cuts them into sample blocks of uniform size. By separately preparing sample blocks with different contents of the elements to be tested, different sample blocks are added according to the required element content gradient to prepare an X-ray fluorescence analysis standard sample group that meets the requirements, has a wide content distribution range and a good step shape. This achieves a new breakthrough in the manual preparation of standard samples for X-ray fluorescence analysis, greatly reduces the workload of manual preparation of standard samples, improves the accuracy and efficiency of the sample preparation process, and solves the technical problems of few standard samples for X-ray fluorescence and difficulty in preparation.

[0043] The tablet press 100 used in the present application includes a workbench 110 for supporting a mold 200, a swing arm 120 connected to the top of the workbench 110, a hydraulic cylinder 130 connected to the swing arm 120, and a pressing head 131 connected to the hydraulic rod of the hydraulic cylinder 130. The hydraulic cylinder 130 is used to drive the pressing head 131 to move up and down to compress the pressing machine cover 140 on the top of the mold 200, so that the pressing machine cover 140 pressed down compacts the sample in the mold 200, wherein the bottom wall of the pressing machine cover 140 is provided with a blade groove 150, and a grid-shaped blade cutter is provided in the blade groove 150 of the pressing machine cover 140. A cutting mechanism 160 for driving the blade cutter to move up and down is provided on the top of the pressing machine cover 140. The cutting mechanism 160 drives the blade cutter to descend and cut the sample in the mold 200. The blade cutter is composed of nine transverse blades 170 arranged transversely and nine longitudinal blades 180 arranged longitudinally, and the cutting mechanism 160 is a cylinder.

[0044] The use of blister packaging technology to package the samples can isolate the samples from each other, reduce or even eliminate sample contamination, and ensure that there will be no collision between the samples even during transportation, so that the samples are well protected. When in use, the aluminum foil can be broken by applying pressure, making it very convenient to take. Due to the performance of the blister packaging material, the samples have good sealing and protection after packaging, extending the storage time of the samples; at the same time, the preparation date, the ratio of the reference reagent, the ratio of the reference reagent to the release agent, the flux and other information are printed on the surface of the aluminum foil, so that the sample information is clear at a glance. Blister packaging can also use a unified packaging to package the samples through the changes in the plate size and the aluminum foil, so as to realize the serialization of sample packaging.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] The embodiment of the present application provides a method for preparing a standard sample for X-ray fluorescence analysis, which is used to prepare an aluminum-silicon standard sample with a silicon dioxide mass percentage content of 30-90%, comprising the following steps:

[0047] Step 1: Pre-treat the reference reagent of the element to be measured, and dry or burn it as required; select a mixed flux of lithium tetraborate and lithium metaborate, the mass ratio of the two fluxes is 67:33, and burn the mixed flux at 700°C for 10 hours; select NH4I as the release agent.

[0048] Step 2: Weigh the sample according to the mass ratio of the reference reagent, release agent and flux of the element to be measured in 1:0.083:10, where the mass of the reference reagent of the element to be measured is 10.0000g, the mass of the release agent NH4I is 0.8300g, and the mass of the mixed flux is 100.0000g. The weighed amount of the reference substance of the element to be measured is shown in Table 1 below.

[0049] Table 1 Sample weight of reference materials for the elements to be measured

[0050] <![CDATA[SiO2]]> <![CDATA[Fe2O3]]> <![CDATA[Al2O3]]> <![CDATA[CaCO3]]> MgO <![CDATA[TiO2]]> <![CDATA[K2CO3]]> <![CDATA[Na2CO3]]> <![CDATA[LiPO3]]> <![CDATA[Cr2O3]]> <![CDATA[ZrO2]]> a 9.0000 0.0100 0.0100 0.1785 0.1000 0.1000 0.2787 0.3249 0.1211 0.1000 0.1000 b 3.0000 0.9200 6.0000 0.0178 0.0100 0.0100 0.0147 0.0171 0.0121 0.0100 0.0100

[0051] Among them, CaCO3 and other reference reagents will decompose into pure oxides when melting the sample. 10.0000g is calculated based on the proportion of pure oxides, but it will still be calculated based on CaCO3 when weighing the sample. Therefore, the total mass of the reference reagents for the elements to be measured in the table is greater than 10g.

[0052] Step 3. Weigh the reference materials to be tested in group a and group b in Table 1, add flux and release agent, pour into a white plastic bucket, add zirconium oxide balls, shake and mix on a mixer for about 36 hours, and stir thoroughly to obtain sample a and sample b.

[0053] Step 4: Pour the evenly stirred sample a and sample b into the mold of the tablet press 100 respectively, flatten them with a flattener and cover them with the tablet press cover 140, start the tablet press 100 and press the samples at a pressure of 40t for 30s to compact them.

[0054] Step 5: Control the blade cutter to descend and cut the pressed sample into blocks of uniform size. The blade cutter is composed of nine transverse blades 170 arranged transversely and nine longitudinal blades 180 arranged longitudinally to form a 10×10 matrix, thereby cutting the sample into 100 blocks of uniform size.

[0055] Step 6: Remove the sample pressing machine cover 140, take out the sample block, seal it in a PTP blister package, and print the preparation date, reference reagent ratio, reference reagent and release agent, flux ratio and other information on its surface.

[0056] Step 7. Test the uniformity and accuracy of the prepared samples. The uniformity and accuracy tests must be carried out under the condition of ensuring the stability of the instrument, consistent experimental conditions, and consistent operating level of the personnel. The uniformity test method specifically includes: randomly selecting 9 samples from the same batch, dividing them into three groups, each with three blocks, adding 3.0000g of mixed flux and 0.0200g of release agent to each group to melt them, and measuring the content of the elements to be measured by X-ray fluorescence, and analyzing each group of samples 5 times at the same time. The range method is used for the statistics of uniformity inspection data, that is, the difference between the maximum and minimum values ​​must be less than the allowable difference specified in the standard GB / T 21114-2019. If the difference between the maximum and minimum values ​​is greater than the allowable difference specified in the standard GB / T 21114-2019 without abnormal values, it is considered that the uniformity is not good and this batch is discarded. The accuracy test method specifically includes: the difference between the average value of the content of the elements to be measured by fluorescence of the above three groups of samples and the theoretical value must be less than the allowable difference specified in the standard GB / T21114-2019. If the difference between the average value and the theoretical value is greater than the allowable difference specified in standard GB / T 21114-2019 in the absence of abnormal values, it is considered to be inaccurate and the batch is discarded.

[0057] Step 8. Mix the samples a and b that have passed the uniformity and accuracy tests according to Table 2 below to obtain a set of aluminum-silicon standard samples with a silicon dioxide content of 30-90%. Use this set of series of standard samples to establish an X-ray fluorescence spectrum working curve. Select a sample, select the same sample preparation conditions as the standard sample, prepare it into a test sample, and use the working curve to automatically calculate the content of each element in the sample.

[0059]

[0060] Example 2

[0061] The embodiment of the present application provides a method for preparing a standard sample for X-ray fluorescence analysis, which is used to prepare an aluminum-magnesium standard sample with a magnesium oxide mass percentage content of 15-90%, comprising the following steps:

[0062] Step 1: Pre-treat the reference reagent of the element to be measured, and dry or burn it as required; select a mixed flux of lithium tetraborate and lithium metaborate, the mass ratio of the two fluxes is 67:33, and burn the mixed flux at 700°C for 10 hours; select NH4I as the release agent.

[0063] Step 2: Weigh the sample according to the mass ratio of the reference reagent, release agent and flux of the element to be measured in 1:0.083:10, where the mass of the reference reagent of the element to be measured is 10.0000g, the mass of the release agent NH4I is 0.8300g, and the mass of the mixed flux is 100.0000g. The weighed amount of the reference substance of the element to be measured is shown in Table 1 below.

[0064] Table 3 Sample weight of reference materials for the elements to be measured

[0065] <![CDATA[SiO2]]> <![CDATA[Fe2O3]]> <![CDATA[Al2O3]]> <![CDATA[CaCO3]]> MgO <![CDATA[TiO2]]> <![CDATA[K2CO3]]> <![CDATA[Na2CO3]]> <![CDATA[LiPO3]]> <![CDATA[Cr2O3]]> <![CDATA[ZrO2]]> c 3.0000 0.9200 6.0000 0.0178 0.0100 0.0100 0.0147 0.0171 0.0121 0.0100 0.0100 d 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.7140 9.0000 0.1000 0.1467 0.1710 0.1211 0.1000 0.1000

[0066] Among them, CaCO3 and other reference reagents will decompose into pure oxides when melting the sample. 10.0000g is calculated based on the proportion of pure oxides, but it will still be calculated based on CaCO3 when weighing the sample. Therefore, the total mass of the reference reagents for the elements to be measured in the table is greater than 10g.

[0067] Step 3. Weigh the reference materials to be tested in group c and group d in Table 3, add flux and release agent respectively, pour into a white plastic bucket, add zirconium oxide balls, shake and mix on a mixer for about 36 hours, and stir thoroughly to obtain sample c and sample d.

[0068] Step 4: Pour the evenly stirred sample c and sample d into the mold of the tablet press 100 respectively, flatten them with a flattener and cover them with the tablet press cover 140, start the tablet press 100 and press the samples at a pressure of 40t for 30s to compact them.

[0069] Step 5: Control the blade cutter to descend and cut the pressed sample into blocks of uniform size. The blade cutter is composed of nine transverse blades 170 arranged transversely and nine longitudinal blades 180 arranged longitudinally to form a 10×10 matrix, thereby cutting the sample into 100 blocks of uniform size.

[0070] Step 6: Remove the sample pressing machine cover 140, take out the sample block, seal it in a PTP blister package, and print the preparation date, reference reagent ratio, reference reagent and release agent, flux ratio and other information on its surface.

[0071] Step 7. Test the uniformity and accuracy of the prepared samples. The uniformity and accuracy tests must be carried out under the condition of ensuring the stability of the instrument, consistent experimental conditions, and consistent operating level of the personnel. The uniformity test method specifically includes: randomly selecting 9 samples from the same batch, dividing them into three groups, each with three blocks, adding 3.0000g of mixed flux and 0.0200g of release agent to each group to melt them, and measuring the content of the elements to be measured by X-ray fluorescence. Each group of samples is analyzed 5 times at the same time, and the uniformity inspection data statistics adopt the range method, that is, the difference between the maximum and minimum values ​​must be less than the allowable difference specified in the standard GB / T 21114-2019. If the difference between the maximum and minimum values ​​is greater than the allowable difference specified in the standard GB / T 21114-2019 in the absence of abnormal values, it is considered that the uniformity is not good and this batch is discarded. The accuracy test method specifically includes: the difference between the average value of the content of the elements to be measured by fluorescence measurement of the above three groups of samples and the theoretical value must be less than the allowable difference specified in the standard GB / T21114-2019. If the difference between the average value and the theoretical value is greater than the allowable difference specified in standard GB / T 21114-2019 in the absence of abnormal values, it is considered to be inaccurate and the batch is discarded.

[0072] Step 8. Mix the samples that have passed the uniformity and accuracy tests with sample c and sample d according to Table 4 below to obtain a set of aluminum-magnesium standard samples with a magnesium oxide content of 15-90%. Use this set of series of standard samples to establish an X-ray fluorescence spectrum working curve. Select a sample, select the same sample preparation conditions as the standard sample, prepare it into a test sample, and use the working curve to automatically calculate the content of each element in the sample.

[0075]

[0076] Example 3

[0077] The embodiment of the present application provides a method for preparing a standard sample for X-ray fluorescence analysis, which is used to prepare a magnesium-chromium standard sample with a chromium trioxide mass percentage content of 6-55%, comprising the following steps:

[0078] Step 1: Pre-treat the reference reagent of the element to be measured, and dry or burn it as required; select a mixed flux of lithium tetraborate and lithium metaborate, the mass ratio of the two fluxes is 67:33, and burn the mixed flux at 700°C for 10 hours; select NH4I as the release agent.

[0079] Step 2: Weigh the sample according to the mass ratio of the reference reagent, release agent and flux of the element to be measured in 1:0.083:10, where the mass of the reference reagent of the element to be measured is 10.0000g, the mass of the release agent NH4I is 0.8300g, and the mass of the mixed flux is 100.0000g. The weighed mass of the reference substance of the element to be measured is shown in Table 5 below.

[0080] Table 5 Sample weight of reference substances for the elements to be measured

[0081]

[0082] Among them, CaCO3 and other reference reagents will decompose into pure oxides when melting the sample. 10.0000g is calculated based on the proportion of pure oxides, but it will still be calculated based on CaCO3 when weighing the sample. Therefore, the total mass of the reference reagents for the elements to be measured in the table is greater than 10g.

[0083] Step 3. Weigh the reference materials to be tested in group e and group f in Table 5, add flux and release agent respectively, pour into a white plastic bucket, add zirconium oxide balls, shake and mix on a mixer for about 36 hours, and stir thoroughly to obtain samples e and f.

[0084] Step 4: Pour the evenly stirred samples e and f into the molds of the tablet press 100 respectively, flatten them with a flattener and cover them with the tablet press cover 140, start the tablet press 100 and press the samples at a pressure of 40t for 30s to compact them.

[0085] Step 5: Control the blade cutter to descend and cut the pressed sample into blocks of uniform size. The blade cutter is composed of nine transverse blades 170 arranged transversely and nine longitudinal blades 180 arranged longitudinally to form a 10×10 matrix, thereby cutting the sample into 100 blocks of uniform size.

[0086] Step 6: Remove the sample pressing machine cover 140, take out the sample block, seal it in a PTP blister package, and print the preparation date, reference reagent ratio, reference reagent and release agent, flux ratio and other information on its surface.

[0087] Step 7. Test the uniformity and accuracy of the prepared samples. The uniformity and accuracy tests must be carried out under the condition of ensuring the stability of the instrument, consistent experimental conditions, and consistent operating level of the personnel. The uniformity test method specifically includes: randomly selecting 9 samples from the same batch, dividing them into three groups, each with three blocks, adding 3.0000g of mixed flux and 0.0200g of release agent to each group to melt them, and measuring the content of the elements to be measured by X-ray fluorescence, and analyzing each group of samples 5 times at the same time. The range method is used for the statistics of uniformity inspection data, that is, the difference between the maximum and minimum values ​​must be less than the allowable difference specified in the standard GB / T 21114-2019. If the difference between the maximum and minimum values ​​is greater than the allowable difference specified in the standard GB / T 21114-2019 without abnormal values, it is considered that the uniformity is not good and this batch is discarded. The accuracy test method specifically includes: the difference between the average value of the content of the elements to be measured by fluorescence of the above three groups of samples and the theoretical value must be less than the allowable difference specified in the standard GB / T21114-2019. If the difference between the average value and the theoretical value is greater than the allowable difference specified in standard GB / T 21114-2019 in the absence of abnormal values, it is considered to be inaccurate and the batch is discarded.

[0088] Step 8. Mix the samples that have passed the uniformity and accuracy tests with the sample e and sample f according to Table 6 below to obtain a set of magnesium-chromium standard samples with a chromium trioxide content of 6-55%. Use this set of series of standard samples to establish an X-ray fluorescence spectrum working curve. Select a sample, select the same sample preparation conditions as the standard sample, prepare it into a test sample, and use the working curve to automatically calculate the content of each element in the sample.
