Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of online analysis of organic pollutants, and in particular relates to a device and method for real-time online analysis of non-volatile organic pollutants. Background Art
[0002] Photoionization is an attractive soft ionization technology, offering advantages such as excellent ionization efficiency, high molecular ion yields, and easy spectra interpretation. Furthermore, according to Beer-Ludwig's law, sensitivity can be further enhanced by increasing gas pressure, light flux, and optical pathlength. Consequently, photoionization is widely used in environmental analysis, clinical diagnostics, and industrial process monitoring.
[0003] When the pressure within the photoionization source is high (>100 Pa), collisional divergence between molecules and ions and the small aperture between the vacuum differential chambers become the primary factors limiting ion utilization. Therefore, an efficient ion transport system is a key technology for improving sensitivity. Ion funnels operate at pressures ranging from 1 to 1000 Pa, matching the operating pressure of the ionization source. Therefore, they are often used as ion focusing devices within the source, improving sensitivity by an order of magnitude.
[0004] Phthalates, a major plasticizer, are widely used in hundreds of products, including toys, food packaging materials, medical blood bags, and personal care products such as nail polish, hair spray, soap, and shampoo. However, the environmental health hazards posed by these compounds have recently garnered widespread attention in environmental science, public health, and even the general public. However, when analyzing volatile organic pollutants like phthalates, the detection limits remain unsatisfactory, even using a photoionization source coupled with an ion funnel, due to their extremely low volatile content. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device and method for the real-time, online analysis of volatile organic pollutants. Summary of the Invention

The vacuum ultraviolet lamp 2 is a low-pressure krypton lamp with a large optical window diameter, and the photon emission diameter is 6-12 mm.

[0041] The volatilization chamber 10 is a volatilization area of the sample 11 to be detected, and the axial center line of the gas inlet and the axial center line of the gas outlet are both parallel to the horizontal plane. The carrier gas flowing through the flow meter 9 is nitrogen, and the gas flow rate is 100 ml / min, which is greater than the sample amount of the sample injection capillary 1. The inner diameter of the sample delivery tube 12 is 3 mm, and the inner diameter of the sample injection capillary 1 is 250 μm.

The mass analyzer 8 is a time-of-flight mass analyzer with ultra-high resolution and time resolution less than 1 s, which can meet the research needs of rapid tracking of dynamic changes of volatile substances.
[0042] The photoionization source in the present application combines the ion funnel and the photoionization source with a larger light emission area. Since the ion funnel has good focusing effect, it can focus the ions with a larger initial distribution area, thereby further improving the detection sensitivity to meet the detection needs of trace difficult-to-volatile organic pollutants.
[0043] Another embodiment of the present application provides a method for real-time online analysis of difficult-to-volatile organic pollutants by using the device in the above embodiment. The method is as follows: the sample 11 to be detected is placed in the volatilization chamber 10, and the heating temperature is set. The carrier gas with a fixed flow rate is introduced into the volatilization chamber 10 through the flow meter 9. The volatile components of the sample 11 to be detected are carried by the carrier gas and sequentially pass through the sample delivery tube 12, the three-hole joint 13 and the sample injection capillary 1 to enter the ionization source cavity 3. The low-content difficult-to-volatile components are first ionized efficiently under the action of the vacuum ultraviolet lamp 2 with a large photon emission diameter, and then the sample ions are effectively focused and transmitted to the mass analyzer 8 under the action of the repelling electrode 4 and the ion funnel 7 to realize the final detection and analysis. Embodiment
[0044] The structure of the device in the present application is specifically referred to Figure 1 The simulation model is established under the above conditions using SIMION, and please refer to Figure 2The ion transmission efficiency is simulated, the ion mass-to-charge ratio (m / z) used in simulation is 116, the initial kinetic energy divergence is 0.5-2 eV, the initial angle divergence is 60 degrees, the ion generation region is a cylindrical region with the axial center line coinciding with the center line of the repelling electrode 4, the length of the cylindrical region is fixed at 10 mm, the distance from the point to the lower surface of the repelling electrode 4 is 6 mm, and the upper and lower diameters of the cylindrical region represent the photon emission diameter of the vacuum ultraviolet lamp 2. Assuming that the sample molecules are uniformly distributed, the number of simulated ions is set to 100, 400, 900 and 1600 according to the diameters of the ion generation cylindrical region of 2 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm and 8 mm, respectively. The simulation results are shown in Figure 3 When the peak-to-peak value of the radio frequency of the ion funnel 7 is 0 V, the number of ions passing through is 7 when the photon emission diameter is 2 mm, and the transmission efficiency is 7%; and the number of ions passing through is 25 when the photon emission diameter is 8 mm, and the transmission efficiency is 1.6%. It can be seen that without the focusing effect of the ion funnel 7, although the use of the vacuum ultraviolet lamp 2 with a large photon emission diameter can improve the sensitivity, the ion transmission efficiency is actually decreasing. When the peak-to-peak value of the radio frequency of the ion funnel 7 is 120 V, the number of ions passing through is 47 when the photon emission diameter is 2 mm, and the transmission efficiency is 47%, which is 6.7 times the signal intensity when the peak-to-peak value of the radio frequency of the ion funnel 7 is 0 V. Moreover, the increase multiple gradually increases with the increase of the photon emission diameter, and the increase multiple is 32.9 times when the photon emission diameter is 8 mm, and the transmission efficiency is 51.4% at this time. It can be seen that the combination of the ion funnel and the photoionization source with a larger light emission area is a good means to further improve the detection sensitivity.
[0045] The device and method for real-time online analysis of difficult volatile organic pollutants provided by the application are based on the super-high sensitivity photoionization source mass spectrometry technology to realize the online analysis of the difficult volatile organic pollutants possibly contained in common articles. The device mainly includes three parts of a volatile chamber, a super-high sensitivity photoionization source and a mass analyzer. The components to be measured generated in the volatile chamber pass through the four-fluorine tube and the sample inlet capillary in turn under the carrying of the air flow, and then enter the photoionization source region for ionization. The ion funnel for focusing a wide range of ions is arranged in the photoionization source, and the photoionization source with a larger light emission area is used to further improve the detection sensitivity. The focused ions are transmitted to the mass analyzer for detection. The device and method used by the application have a significant improvement in sensitivity, meet the detection requirements of trace difficult volatile organic pollutants, and have a very good effect on substances such as phthalate and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon.
