Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of determination of available boron content in soil, and specifically relates to a method for testing available boron in soil by ultrasonic extraction inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry. Background Art

[0002] Boron element in soil is an essential nutrient element for the normal growth and development of plants. The content of boron in soil varies greatly with different soil types. The total boron content is about 2 - 100 mg / kg. Most of the boron in soil is wrapped in mineral lattices or adsorbed on the surface of soil particles, and it is difficult for plants to directly absorb it, which is ineffective boron for plants. Only a very small amount of boron (water-soluble boron) exists in the soil solution in the form of boric acid or borate ions can be directly absorbed and utilized by plants, which belongs to available boron for plants. Lack of available boron in soil will cause crop yield reduction. Therefore, it is crucial to accurately test the available boron content in soil.

[0003] There are mainly two existing methods for detecting available boron in soil. The first method is ultrasonic heating extraction - methylimine-H - colorimetric method. In the experimental process, acidic potassium permanganate solution must be prepared immediately before use; the dosage of methylimine, the acidity of the color-developing buffer solution, and the ambient temperature during color development must be strictly controlled, and the experimental process is relatively cumbersome. The second method is ultrasonic heating extraction - curcumin - colorimetric method. The standing time of the filtrate is relatively short (less than 3 h). During batch experiments, the interval time is not easy to control; the temperature, speed, etc. during the evaporation process must be kept consistent, the experimental process is more cumbersome, and the color-developing conditions need to be strictly controlled; the stability and accuracy of repeated tests are not easy to control and vary greatly.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a detection method for available boron content in soil with simple operation, high sensitivity and accuracy, good stability in repeated tests, high efficiency, and suitable for batch detection. Summary of the Invention

Inject the standard solutions with different mass concentrations into the inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer in sequence, and detect and draw a standard curve with the mass concentration of the element to be measured as the abscissa and the signal value of the element to be measured as the ordinate.

[0010] Preferably, the available boron described in the above method is water-soluble available boron and does not include non-available boron components.

[0011] Preferably, the soil samples described in the above method include cultivated land soil, garden soil, forest and grassland soil, air-dried soil samples, and fresh soil samples.

[0012] Preferably, the preparation requirement of the soil sample in the above method: Prepare an air-dried sample passing through a 2 mm sieve pore size, and this sample is the soil sample to be tested.

[0013] Preferably, the ultrasonic extraction frequency is 40 kHz, the ultrasonic extraction temperature is 70 - 80 °C, and the ultrasonic extraction time is 20 - 25 min.

[0014] Preferably, the ultrasonic extraction time is preferably 22 min. After the extraction is completed, centrifuge at 4000 r / min for 5 min, and collect the supernatant into a colorimetric tube for testing and analysis on the machine.

[0015] Preferably, the containers for holding soil samples or liquids in the above method should be made of polyethylene, boron-free glass, or quartz.

[0016] In summary, the present invention provides a method for testing available boron in soil by ultrasonic extraction - inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0017] (1) The present invention uses ultrasonic extraction - inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP - OES) to detect available boron in soil. After mixing the soil sample to be tested with primary water (meeting the requirements of GB / T 6682), it is pretreated by heating in an ultrasonic device. Multiple samples can be processed simultaneously, enabling large - batch pretreatment. Moreover, the operation is simple. Combined with the subsequent inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP - OES) equipped with an automatic sampling device, sampling and testing can be carried out without supervision, improving the work flow and practicality, and further enhancing the detection efficiency. On the other hand, combined with the subsequent inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry, the method has a low detection limit, high precision and accuracy.

[0018] (2) Verified by three soil reference materials and three soil samples, the linear relationship between the mass concentration of available boron in soil and the spectral intensity is good in the range of 0 - 2.0 mg / L, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9999. The method detection limit is 0.003 mg / kg, the lower limit of quantification is 0.012 mg / kg, the relative standard deviation RSD is 2.17% - 4.73% (n = 8), and the relative error RE is 0.54% - 2.10% (n = 8). The measured values are all within the uncertainty range. This method has a low detection limit, high precision and accuracy, and strong operability, and is suitable for the detection of available boron in batch soil samples. Specific embodiments

The experimental method is as follows: Place the soil sample to be tested in a 100 mL polyethylene centrifuge tube, add primary water (meeting the requirements of GB / T 6682), and gently shake the polyethylene centrifuge tube to disperse the soil. After heating and ultrasonic extraction, centrifuge and separate, collect the supernatant, and measure the available boron content on an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP - OES). Specifically, it includes experimental conditions such as instruments, reagents, pretreatment of soil samples, drawing of standard curves, detection limit, precision and accuracy verification.

Among them, ASA-6b-CZ, ASA-5b-CZ, ASA-1b-CZ are acidic soils, and ASA-7a-CZ, ASA-9a-CZ, ASA-2b-CZ, ASA-3b-CZ are alkaline soils. At the same time, three actual soil samples were selected, numbered TR1, TR2, and TR3 respectively.

[0029] Magnesium sulfate, anhydrous sodium carbonate, analytical pure, Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd.

[0030] Sulfuric acid, nitric acid, extra pure, Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd.

[0031] ③ Pretreatment of soil samples

[0032] Weigh 10 g of the soil sample to be tested and place it in a 100 mL polyethylene centrifuge tube. Add 20.0 mL of primary water (meeting the requirements of GB / T 6682), and gently shake the polyethylene centrifuge tube to disperse the soil. Further, the ultrasonic extraction is preferably carried out at 40 kHz and 70 - 80 °C for 25 - 30 min, more preferably for 30 min. After the extraction, centrifuge at 4000 r / min for 5 min, and collect the supernatant in a colorimetric tube for testing on the machine.

[0033] (2) Standard curve drawing

[0034] Before analysis, rinse the system with nitric acid solution. The blank intensity value of the instrument decreases until it reaches the lowest value. At this time, the analysis signal of the instrument is stable, and the sample is analyzed under the same conditions as when establishing the calibration curve. During the sample detection process, if the boron element concentration in the test solution exceeds the maximum value of the calibration curve, it can be diluted with primary water (meeting the requirements of GB / T 6682), and after determining the additional amount of magnesium sulfate solution according to the dilution factor, re-detection is carried out.

[0035] Respectively pipette a certain volume of boron standard working solution into 100 mL volumetric flasks.

Using the mass concentration of the element to be measured as the abscissa and the signal value of the element to be measured as the ordinate, draw the standard curve, referring to the available boron working curve (figure).

[0036]

[0037] (3) Method detection limit

[0038] According to the requirements for calculating the detection limit in the "Technical Guidelines for the Revision of Environmental Monitoring Analytical Method Standards" (HJ 168 - 2020), the detection limit calculation formula is determined as follows:

[0039] MDL = t(n - 1, 0.99) × S, t(n - 1, 0.99) = 3.143

[0040] Without weighing the sample, perform continuous 8 - time detections under the conditions specified in the above - mentioned optimal analysis method, calculate the standard deviation (S) of the 8 - time detections, calculate the detection limit as (3S), and the lower limit of detection is the detection limit * 4.

[0041] Table 2 Data table of method detection limit and lower limit of detection

[0042]

[0043] As shown in Table 2, after experimental tests, the detection limit of the sample measurement of the method is 0.003 mg / kg, and the lower limit of detection is 0.012, which is better than the requirements in the "Sample Detection and Quality Control Guidelines" of the Third National Soil Census: when the sample weighing is 10.00 g and the extractant is 20 mL of primary water (meeting the requirements of GB / T 6682), the method detection limit is: 0.003 mg / kg, and the lower limit of detection is: 0.012 mg / kg.

[0044] (4) Method precision, method trueness

[0045] As shown in Table 3, standard substances with different contents (ASA-1b-CZ, ASA-2b-CZ, ASA-3b-CZ) of low, medium and high levels were selected. According to the provisions of HJ 168-2020 "Technical Guidelines for the Formulation of Environmental Monitoring Analytical Method Standards", the average value, standard deviation (S) and relative standard deviation (RSD) of the detection results were calculated respectively.

[0046] Table 3 Data table of method precision

[0047]

[0048] (2) Optimization of ultrasonic temperature and ultrasonic time

[0049] (1) Optimization of ultrasonic temperature

[0050] The standard substances (ASA-6b-CZ, ASA-5b-CZ, ASA-9a-CZ, ASA-7a-CZ) were ultrasonically treated for 30 min at 40 kHz by an ultrasonic cleaner and leached at 30 °C, 40 °C, 50 °C, 60 °C, 70 °C, and 80 °C respectively. The results are shown in Table 4.

[0051] Table 4 Influence of ultrasonic temperature on detection results

[0052]

[0053] As can be seen from Table 4, when the ultrasonic leaching temperature is in the lower range (≤50 °C), the available boron in the sample cannot be fully leached; when the temperature is raised to 60 °C, the leaching rate of available boron in the soil increases significantly, reaching a high level of more than 90%; especially when the temperature further rises to 70 °C and above, the leaching of available boron reaches a complete state. At this time, the obtained measurement data is consistent with the standard method, and within the temperature range set in the experiment, the leaching rate of available boron will remain stable and will not fluctuate with the continuous increase of temperature. In view of this, to ensure the full leaching of available boron and the accuracy of measurement data, the appropriate range of ultrasonic leaching temperature can be determined as 70-80 °C.

[0054] (2) Optimization of ultrasonic time

[0055] The reference materials (ASA-6b-CZ, ASA-5b-CZ, ASA-9a-CZ, ASA-7a-CZ) were extracted by an ultrasonic cleaner under the conditions of an ultrasonic extraction frequency of 40 kHz and an ultrasonic extraction temperature of 75 °C, and were extracted for 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 20 min, 25 min, and 30 min respectively. The results are shown in Table 5.

[0056] Table 5 Influence of ultrasonic time on the detection results

[0057]

[0058] It can be seen from Table 5 that when the extraction time is 5 - 15 min, the measurement results are on the low side, and the effective boron component in the sample has not been completely extracted; when the extraction time is 30 min, the measurement results are on the high side, and the non-effective state components of boron (chelated boron, acid-soluble boron, etc.) may also be extracted; when the extraction time is 20 - 25 min, the measured value is closest to the certified value. In view of this, to ensure the full leaching of effective boron and the accuracy of the measurement data, we can determine the appropriate range of ultrasonic extraction time as 20 - 25 min.

[0059] (3) Optimization of separation method

[0060] To determine the influence of the separation method on the content of available boron in soil, the reference materials ASA-6b-CZ, ASA-5b-CZ, ASA-9a-CZ, and ASA-7a-CZ were selected to explore the influence of two different separation methods, filtration separation and centrifugation separation, on the results.

[0061] Table 6 Influence of separation method on the detection results

[0062]

[0063] It can be seen from Table 6 that the detected values by centrifugation separation are basically consistent with the certified values and are within the error range. The detection results by the method of filtering with filter paper are on the low side or on the high side, and the result stability is relatively poor. At the same time, when choosing filtration separation and filtering a turbid liquid containing a large number of fine soil particles, these particles may block the filter paper, thereby significantly prolonging the filtration time. If the filter paper is replaced midway due to blockage, it is more likely to cause loss of effective boron in the components to be measured, resulting in a lower final detection result. Using a centrifuge to separate the samples to be measured can reduce the time required for the experiment and has higher efficiency. Therefore, it is better to select the centrifugation separation method.

[0064] (4) Influence of spectral line interference

[0065] Spectral interferences mainly include continuous background and spectral line overlap interferences. The spectral lines of Fe at 249.783 nm and B at 249.773 nm are close. To investigate the influence of Fe concentration on the test results, extraction was carried out according to the steps in 1.3. Standard substances ASA-6b-CZ, ASA-5b-CZ, ASA-9a-CZ, and ASA-7a-CZ were selected. Different concentrations of Fe standard solution were added to the prepared solution to be extracted, and the Fe concentrations were controlled to be 5 mg / L, 8 mg / L, 10 mg / L, 15 mg / L, and 20 mg / L respectively. The effective boron content was tested to investigate the influence of spectral line interference.

[0066] Table 7 Influence of Fe content (mg / L) in matrix medium on test results

[0067]

[0068] As can be seen from Table 7, when the Fe concentration in the extraction solution is 5 - 10 mg / L, the test values are close to the certificate values and within the error range of the standard substances, and the interference influence of Fe concentration is small; when the Fe concentration in the extraction solution is greater than 10 mg / L, the test results are on the low side. With the increase of Fe concentration, the interference influence increases and the test results decrease. Therefore, when the Fe concentration in the extraction solution is greater than 10 mg / L, it has a greater influence on the test results of effective boron. During the experiment, it is necessary to reduce or eliminate the interference influence of Fe. The experiment can consider replacing the less sensitive line of boron for re-detection or using chemical separation methods to reduce the Fe concentration to achieve the accurate purpose of the experiment.

[0069] The present invention will be further described in detail below with specific embodiments to better understand the content of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0070] Example 1

[0071] Two fresh samples of cultivated soil from a certain place in Xuzhou, Jiangsu (avoiding fertilization points) were weighed respectively, and the sampling depth was 0 - 20 cm of the effective soil layer thickness. In a well-ventilated and sunless air-drying room, they were spread into a thin layer of 2 - 3 cm and naturally air-dried. 10.0 g of air-dried soil sample passing through 60 meshes was weighed and placed in a 100 mL polyethylene centrifuge tube. 20.0 mL of primary water (meeting the requirements of GB / T 6682) was added, and the polyethylene centrifuge tube was gently shaken to disperse the soil. Further, the ultrasonic extraction frequency was preferably 40 kHz, the ultrasonic extraction temperature was 70 - 80 °C, and the ultrasonic extraction time was 22 min. After the extraction was completed, it was centrifuged at 4000 r / min for 5 min, and the supernatant was collected in a colorimetric tube for testing on the machine. The spectral line of B at 249.773 nm was selected as the analysis spectral line, and the content of available boron in the soil was detected by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The measured values were 0.22 mg / kg and 0.17 mg / kg respectively.

[0072] Using the curcumin colorimetric method for the determination of available boron content in soil as described in the "Technical Specifications for Soil Analysis" (Second Edition), Section 18.2, a comparative experiment was conducted with the present invention:

[0073] Weigh 10.00 g of air-dried soil sample passed through a 2.0 mm sieve into a 250 mL quartz Erlenmeyer flask, add 20.00 mL of water, connect a reflux condenser, boil gently over a low flame for 5 min, immediately remove the heat source, continue reflux condensation for 5 min, remove the quartz Erlenmeyer flask, add 2 drops of 100 g / L magnesium sulfate solution, shake well and filter immediately. Pipette 1.00 mL of the filtrate into a 50 mL evaporating dish, add 4.00 mL of curcumin-oxalic acid solution, evaporate to dryness in a constant temperature water bath at (55 ± 3) °C, continue baking for 15 min, remove the evaporating dish and cool to room temperature, add 20.00 mL of 95% ethanol, stir with a plastic rod until the residue is completely dissolved, filter through a medium-speed filter paper, and use 95% ethanol as the reference solution. Measure the absorbance at a wavelength of 550 nm on a spectrophotometer using a 1 cm light path cuvette. The detected contents are 0.23 mg / kg and 0.17 mg / kg respectively.

[0074] Example 2

[0075] Weigh 2 fresh samples of cultivated soil from a certain place in Jingmen, Hubei (avoiding fertilization points) respectively, and the sampling depth is 0 - 20 cm of the effective soil layer thickness. In a well-ventilated and sunless air-drying room, spread them into a thin layer of 2 - 3 cm and air-dry naturally. Weigh 10.0 g of the air-dried soil sample passed through a 60-mesh sieve into a 100 mL polyethylene centrifuge tube, add 20.0 mL of primary water (meeting the requirements of GB / T 6682), gently shake the polyethylene centrifuge tube to disperse the soil. Further, the ultrasonic extraction frequency is preferably 40 kHz, the ultrasonic extraction temperature is 70 - 80 °C, the ultrasonic extraction time is 22 min. After the extraction is completed, centrifuge at 4000 r / min for 5 min, collect the supernatant in a colorimetric tube for testing on the machine, select 249.773 nm of boron as the analysis spectral line, and use inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) method to detect the available boron content in the soil. The measured values are 0.57 mg / kg and 0.66 mg / kg respectively.

[0076] Similarly, using the curcumin colorimetric method for the comparative experiment, the measured results of the available boron content are 0.55 mg / kg and 0.63 mg / kg respectively.

[0077] Example 3

[0078] Two fresh samples of cultivated land soil from a certain place in Jiaxing, Zhejiang (avoiding fertilization points) were weighed separately, and the sampling depth was 0 - 20 cm of the effective soil layer thickness. In a well-ventilated and sunless air-drying room, they were spread into a thin layer of 2 - 3 cm and naturally air-dried. Weigh 10.0 g of air-dried soil sample passing through 60 mesh, put it into a 100 mL polyethylene centrifuge tube, add 20.0 mL of primary water (meeting the requirements of GB / T 6682), and gently shake the polyethylene centrifuge tube to disperse the soil. Further, the preferred ultrasonic extraction frequency is 40 kHz, the ultrasonic extraction temperature is 70 - 80 °C. After 22 min of ultrasonic extraction, centrifuge at 4000 r / min for 5 min, collect the supernatant into a colorimetric tube for determination by machine. Select 249.773 nm of boron as the analysis spectral line, and use inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) method to detect the content of available boron in the soil. The measured values are 0.48 mg / kg and 0.36 mg / kg respectively.

[0079] Similarly, a comparative experiment was conducted using the curcumin colorimetric method, and the measured results of the available boron content were 0.47 mg / kg and 0.38 mg / kg respectively.

[0080] Referring to the requirements for the allowable absolute deviation of parallel determination results in the specification of the curcumin colorimetric method for determining available boron in soil in Section 18.2 of the "Technical Specifications for Soil Analysis" (Second Edition):

[0081] Table 7 Allowable Deviation of Parallel Determination Results of Available Boron by Curcumin Colorimetric Method

[0082]

[0083] The results of the above Examples 1 - 3 show that, compared with the curcumin colorimetric method, the relative deviation allowed for the results of the ultrasonic heating extraction - inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) method provided by the present invention for determining the content of available boron in soil meets the requirements of Table 7. It can be seen that when the ultrasonic heating extraction - inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) method is used to determine the content of available boron in soil, it not only has the advantages of high accuracy and good repeatability, but also shows strong applicability and consistency in dealing with complex soil samples. This method uses automated instrument equipment for determination, which can greatly improve work efficiency and reduce human errors, thus meeting the need for rapid determination of a large number of samples.

[0084] The examples in the present invention are only used to illustrate the present invention and do not constitute a limitation to the scope of the claims. Other substantially equivalent alternatives that can be thought of by those skilled in the art are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
