Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of isotope analysis, and in particular relates to a data correction method for determining hydrogen and oxygen isotope components of plant water. Background Art

[0002] Stable hydrogen and oxygen isotopes in plant leaves, stems, and soil water serve as key tracers for studying soil-plant-atmosphere ecohydrological processes. Studying these isotopes is of great ecological significance. However, during the vacuum and low-temperature extraction process, methanol (MeOH), which has spectral absorption peaks similar to those of water molecules, is often introduced into plants and soils, causing spectral contamination and isotope measurement errors. Recent advances in stable isotope infrared spectroscopy have provided new opportunities for the rapid determination of hydrogen and oxygen isotopes in plant and soil water. The Picarro L2140-i, with its superior drift performance and faster response time, is widely used for high-precision measurement and research of the three oxygen isotopes in water. The Picarro L2140-i measurement principle utilizes cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) technology, a stable isotope infrared spectrometer, to achieve an effective measurement path length of up to 20 kilometers in a compact chamber, providing exceptional accuracy and sensitivity. It primarily consists of an autosampler, vacuum pump, autosampler, high-precision vaporization unit, continuous sampling device, and micro-combustion module. During measurement, the autosampler injects 0.2μL of water sample from an analysis vial into the vaporization chamber for processing before entering the spectrometer for measurement. Throughout the measurement process, a customized injection port and continuous high-purity nitrogen carrier gas are used to effectively eliminate memory effects and ensure the independence of each measurement. The measurement results are calculated to determine the hydrogen and oxygen isotope values ​​in the water. Plant water contains methanol (MeOH), which causes spectral contamination and thus leads to isotope measurement errors. At present, for the treatment of methanol substances in plant and soil water, activated carbon adsorption method is generally used to remove some organic pollutants in water samples, but this method fails to significantly improve the measurement error. Therefore, it is of great significance to explore the numerical calibration curve of hydrogen and oxygen isotopes in plant water.

[0003] In summary, the difficulties in the existing technology are: 1) how to scientifically and reasonably correct the measurement results based on the test; 2) how to test the corrected results, and ultimately ensure the scientificity and accuracy of the results from these two aspects.
