Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of gas analysis, and in particular relates to a device and method for quantitatively detecting trace gas-phase impurities in high-purity deuterium gas. Background Art

[0002] In nuclear science, isotope research, semiconductor material preparation and many high-tech fields, high-purity deuterium gas is a key isotope gas. Its purity and trace impurity components have a crucial impact on the accuracy of experimental results and product performance. Trace gas-phase impurities in high-purity deuterium gas, such as hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and water vapor, even in extremely low concentrations, may have an adverse effect on subsequent process steps, such as increasing defects in semiconductor materials and affecting the efficiency and stability of nuclear fusion reactions. Therefore, it is particularly important to conduct accurate and efficient quantitative analysis of trace gas-phase impurities in high-purity deuterium gas.

[0003] Traditional analysis methods, such as chemical titration, mass spectrometry or manual injection gas chromatography, have problems such as complex operation, large human error, large sample consumption, long analysis cycle and insufficient sensitivity for detecting some low-concentration impurities. Patent CN116559348A discloses a gas chromatography column system for detecting high-purity deuterium gas, including a main pipe connected to the column box inlet, a ShinCronST filling column connected to the main pipe through a branch pipe 1, and a modified Al2O3 chromatographic column connected to the main pipe through a branch pipe 2; wherein an inlet valve 1 is arranged on the branch pipe 1, and the gas to be tested after passing through the ShinCronST filling column enters the gas chromatography detector with an outlet valve 1 for detection; wherein an inlet valve 2 is arranged on the branch pipe 2, and the gas to be tested after passing through the modified Al2O3 chromatographic column enters the gas chromatography detector with an outlet valve 2 for detection. However, the impurity detection in deuterium gas in this method is not comprehensive. In addition, this method is a manual injection, which not only makes it difficult to ensure the accuracy and consistency of each injection, but is also easily affected by the operator's proficiency and external environmental factors, thereby limiting the accuracy and repeatability of the analysis results.
