Description

[0002] At present, in an ion chromatograph, an inhibitor is a crucial component, which mainly functions to significantly improve detection sensitivity by reducing background conductivity. In ion chromatography analysis, an eluent itself is usually a strong electrolyte with high conductivity, which can cover the signal of target ions and reduce detection sensitivity.

[0003] In the related art, a column inhibitor converts high-conductivity substances in an eluent into low-conductivity substances through ion exchange, thereby reducing background conductivity and improving detection signals. However, the inhibition capacity of the column inhibitor will decrease after working for a period of time, resulting in a decrease in the overall effect of detection.

[0077] The capacity of the column suppressor in the related art may be reduced, and there is a problem of overall detection effect reduction, which needs to be further optimized.

[0078] Embodiment 1

[0079] The suppression device provided by the embodiments of the present application can be applied to ion chromatography detection processes in various technical fields, and can also be applied to processes before ion chromatography detection.

[0080] As shown in Figure 1 The suppression device provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises a switching valve 10, a first suppression column 21, a second suppression column 23 and a liquid supply module 30.

[0081] The switching valve 10 is connected with the first suppression column 21, the second suppression column 23, the liquid supply module 30, a chromatographic column module 40 and a conductivity cell module 50 respectively.

[0082] The liquid supply module 30 is connected with a regeneration liquid supply part 60 and a cleaning liquid supply part 70 respectively.

[0083] The switching valve 10 is used to switch between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the liquid supply module 30 is in communication with the first suppression column 21, and the chromatographic column module 40, the second suppression column 23 and the conductivity cell module 50 are in communication. In the second state, the liquid supply module 30 is in communication with the second suppression column 23, and the chromatographic column module 40, the first suppression column 21 and the conductivity cell module 50 are in communication.

[0084] The liquid supply module 30 is used to supply the regeneration liquid of the regeneration liquid supply part 60 or the cleaning liquid of the cleaning liquid supply part 70 to the first suppression column 21 or the second suppression column 23 through the switching valve 10.

[0085] For example, the first suppression column 21 and the second suppression column 23 can be suppression columns of the same type or different types. When the first suppression column 21 performs ion exchange in the sample injection detection process, the second suppression column 23 can perform regeneration treatment, and when the second suppression column 23 performs ion exchange in the sample injection detection process, the first suppression column 21 can perform regeneration treatment, so that the first suppression column 21 and the second suppression column 23 can stably maintain the capacity and avoid the decrease of the detection effect caused by the decrease of the capacity, thereby improving the overall effect of ion detection.

[0086] For example, the liquid supply module 30 is used to provide regeneration and cleaning liquid to the first suppression column 21 and the second suppression column 23, so as to realize the cleaning of the pipeline before sample injection, reduce the possible errors in the test process, and at the same time, maintain the capacity of the first suppression column 21 and the second suppression column 23, thereby providing a basis for sample injection detection.

[0087] The liquid supply module 30 can obtain the corresponding liquid from the regeneration liquid supply part 60 or the cleaning liquid supply part 70 and deliver the liquid to the first suppression column 21 or the second suppression column 23.

[0088] For example, the liquid supply module 30 generally supplies regeneration liquid first and then supplies cleaning liquid.

[0089] For example, in the first state, the liquid supply module 30 is connected to the first suppression column 21, and the first suppression column 21 undergoes regeneration and cleaning. The chromatographic column module 40, the second suppression column 23, and the conductivity cell module 50 are connected, with the second suppression column 23 participating in sample injection and detection. In the second state, the liquid supply module 30 is connected to the second suppression column 23, and the second suppression column 23 undergoes regeneration and cleaning. The chromatographic column module 40, the first suppression column 21, and the conductivity cell module 50 are connected, with the first suppression column 21 participating in sample injection and detection.

[0090] For example, the cleaning fluid supply unit 70 is a key module for system maintenance and performance recovery in ion chromatography detection. Its core function is to remove residual contaminants from the system, prevent component blockage or performance degradation, and ensure the stability and accuracy of long-term analysis.

[0091] For example, the chromatographic column module 40 can separate ions in a mixture based on differences in affinity, according to the interaction between the stationary phase and the mobile phase. The retention time of the target ions can be controlled by adjusting the properties of the stationary phase.

[0092] For example, the conductivity cell module 50 is the core component of the conductivity detector, and its function is to convert the separated ionic components into measurable electrical signals, thereby realizing quantitative and qualitative analysis.

[0093] For example, by cooperating with the switching valve 10, the liquid supply module 30 and the two suppression columns, the regeneration of the first suppression column 21 and the second suppression column 23 can be realized more conveniently, thereby improving the regeneration efficiency and, to a certain extent, the detection efficiency.

[0094] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the liquid supply module 30 includes a liquid switching module 31 and a peristaltic pump 33.

[0095] The liquid switching module 31 is connected to the regeneration liquid supply unit 60, the cleaning liquid supply unit 70, and one end of the peristaltic pump 33.

[0096] The other end of the peristaltic pump 33 is connected to the switching valve 10.

[0097] The liquid switching module 31 is used to switch the liquid supplied to the first suppression column 21 or the second suppression column 23 via the peristaltic pump 33 and the switching valve 10. The liquid is either the regeneration liquid from the regeneration liquid supply unit 60 or the cleaning liquid from the cleaning liquid supply unit 70.

[0098] The liquid switching module 31 and the peristaltic pump 33 can supply regeneration liquid or cleaning liquid to the first inhibition column 21 or the second inhibition column 23, providing a basis for the regeneration of the inhibition column.

[0099] The peristaltic pump 33 is used to deliver the eluent or the cleaning liquid to the first column 21 or the second column 23. The liquid switching module 31 is used to select the specific liquid to be delivered.

[0100] The liquid switching module 31 can be a multi-way valve, which is used to select the specific liquid to be delivered.

[0101] In some embodiments, the liquid switching module 31 is a two-position three-way valve.

[0102] The first channel of the two-position three-way valve is connected to the eluent supply 60, the second channel is connected to the cleaning liquid supply 70, and the third channel is connected to one end of the peristaltic pump 33.

[0103] The eluent supply 60 corresponds to the pickling position of the two-position three-way valve, and the cleaning liquid supply 70 corresponds to the water washing position of the two-position three-way valve.

[0104] By using a two-position three-way valve, only one peristaltic pump 33 is used to deliver the eluent or the cleaning liquid to the first column 21 or the second column 23, which reduces the complexity of the structure of the liquid supply module 30 and also reduces the cost of the liquid supply module 30.

[0105] When the two-position three-way valve selects the pickling position, the eluent is obtained and provided to the first column 21 or the second column 23 through the peristaltic pump 33, so as to realize pickling of the first column 21 or the second column 23 and the pipeline. When the two-position three-way valve selects the water washing position, the cleaning liquid is obtained and provided to the first column 21 or the second column 23 through the peristaltic pump 33, so as to realize water washing of the first column 21 or the second column 23 and the pipeline.

[0106] In some embodiments, the liquid supply module 30 further comprises an eluent recovery module 80.

[0107] The eluent recovery module 80 is connected to the switching valve 10.

[0108] When the switching valve 10 is in the first state, the eluent recovery module 80 is in communication with the first column 21.

[0109] When the switching valve 10 is in the second state, the eluent recovery module 80 is in communication with the second column 23.

[0110] The eluent recovery module 80 can automatically recover the eluent, thereby improving the eluent recovery efficiency.

[0111] In some embodiments, the switching valve 10 is a ten-way valve.

[0112] By selecting a ten-way valve as the switching valve, a strategy of using one suppression column for sample injection and another for regeneration can be more applicable, providing the necessary pathway for the aforementioned strategy.

[0113] For example, in a ten-way valve, four channels are used for sample injection and detection, four channels are used for regeneration, and two channels are used for regenerated liquid recovery.

[0114] The regeneration process example of the suppression device provided in this application embodiment can be specifically as follows, wherein the liquid switching module 31 adopts a two-position three-way valve:

[0115] (1) When not performing sample testing, switch valve 10 to the first state and switch the two-position three-way valve to the acid washing position.

[0116] (2) Obtain the running time P1 of the suppression device 100 in the equilibrium state.

[0117] (3) Determine whether the running time P1 in the balanced state has reached the balanced pickling time T1. If P1 < T1, continue pickling. If P1 = T1, switch the two-position three-way valve to the water washing position.

[0118] (4) Determine whether the equilibrium running time P1 after switching to the water washing position has reached the equilibrium water washing time T2. If P1 < T2, continue water washing. If P1 = T2, switch the switching valve 10 to another state and switch the two-position three-way valve to the acid washing position. Repeat steps (3) and (4). If the switching valve 10 is in the first state when step (4) is performed, the other state refers to the second state. If the switching valve 10 is in the second state when step (4) is performed, the other state refers to the first state.

[0119] (5) Determine whether an injection signal has been received. If no injection signal has been received, repeat steps (3) and (4). If an injection signal has been received, proceed to step (6).

[0120] (6) When the injection signal is received, the suppression column connected to the two-position three-way valve is switched to the acid washing position.

[0121] (7) Start the sample injection detection and obtain the running time P2 of the two column suppressors in the sample injection state.

[0122] (8) Determine whether the sample injection running time P2 has reached the sample injection acid washing time T3. If P2 < T3, continue acid washing. If P2 = T3, switch the two-position three-way valve to the water washing position.

[0123] (9) Determine whether the sample injection state running time P2 after entering the water washing position has reached the sample injection water washing time T4. If P2 < T4, continue water washing. If P2 = T4, switch valve 10 to another state and repeat step (5).

[0124] The above-mentioned operation of the suppression device can ensure that the first suppression column 21 and the second suppression column 23 can be sampled at any time, and the column can be regenerated in time to ensure that the suppression device can work continuously online. In addition, the setting of the balance acid washing time, the balance water washing time, the sampling acid washing time and the sampling water washing time can ensure that the column being regenerated in the two-column suppressor can be completely regenerated, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent detection.

[0125] According to the suppression device provided in the embodiments of the present application, the switching valve 10 is switched between the first state and the second state. In the first state, the liquid supply module 30 is in communication with the first suppression column 21, and the chromatographic column module 40, the second suppression column 23 and the conductivity cell module 50 are in communication. In the second state, the liquid supply module 30 is in communication with the second suppression column 23, and the chromatographic column module 40, the first suppression column 21 and the conductivity cell module 50 are in communication. The liquid supply module 30 supplies the regeneration liquid from the regeneration liquid supply part 60 or the cleaning liquid from the cleaning liquid supply part 70 to the first suppression column 21 or the second suppression column 23. When sampling and detection are performed, one of the suppression columns is subjected to ion chromatography detection, and the other suppression column can be regenerated, so that ion chromatography detection and column suppressor regeneration can be performed simultaneously, thereby maintaining the capacity of the column suppressor and improving the overall effect of ion detection.

[0128] The suppression system comprises a control device 200 and the suppression device 100 of Embodiment 1.

[0129] The control device 200 is connected to the suppression device 100.

[0130] The control device 200 is configured to control the switching valve 10 in the suppression device 100 to switch between the first state and the second state, and control the liquid supply module 30 in the suppression device 100 to supply the regeneration liquid from the regeneration liquid supply part 60 or the cleaning liquid from the cleaning liquid supply part 70 to the first suppression column 21 or the second suppression column 23.

[0131] For example, the control device 200 can be a microcontroller, a single-chip microcomputer or other device with a control function.

[0132] The control device 200 can be in communication connection with the switching valve 10 and the liquid supply module 30 in the suppression device 100.

[0133] In some embodiments, the control device 200 further comprises:

[0134] The chromatographic column module 40 and the conductivity cell module 50.

[0135] The chromatographic column module 40 is connected with the switching valve 10 in the suppression device 100.

[0136] The conductivity cell module 50 is connected with the switching valve 10 in the suppression device 100.

[0137] Through the chromatographic column module 40, ions in a mixture can be separated according to the difference in affinity based on the interaction between the stationary phase and the mobile phase, and through the conductivity cell module 50, the separated ion components can be converted into measurable electrical signals, so as to realize quantitative and qualitative analysis.

[0139] Embodiment 3

[0140] As shown in Figure 4 The control method provided in the embodiment of the application is applied to the control device 200 based on the suppression system of embodiment 2, and can include steps S401 to S404.

[0141] S401, determining a target suppression column used for sample injection detection from the first suppression column and the second suppression column in the suppression device.

[0142] For example, the way of determining the target suppression column can be to select the first suppression column or the second suppression column that meets the time length requirement of acid washing and water washing, to select the first suppression column or the second suppression column that has just completed acid washing and water washing, or to directly select the suppression column currently connected with the chromatographic column module and the conductivity cell module as the target suppression column.

[0143] In some embodiments, S401 can be specifically as follows:

[0144] If the acid washing time length of the first suppression column meets the corresponding first preset time length requirement and the water washing time length meets the corresponding second preset time length requirement, the first suppression column is determined as the target suppression column.

[0145] If the acid washing time length of the second suppression column meets the corresponding first preset time length requirement and the water washing time length meets the corresponding second preset time length requirement, the second suppression column is determined as the target suppression column.

[0146] For example, the acid washing time meets the first preset time requirement, and the water washing time meets the second preset time requirement, which means that the regeneration of the suppression column and the cleaning of the pipeline meet the actual application requirements, and thus the suppression column meeting the requirements can be used as the target suppression column.

[0147] For example, if the first suppression column and the second suppression column both meet the requirements, the suppression column currently in communication with the chromatographic column module and the conductivity cell module can be used as the target suppression column.

[0148] In some embodiments, before S401, the process further includes a pipeline cleaning and suppression column regeneration process, which is specifically as follows:

[0149] The liquid supply module supplies the regeneration liquid in the regeneration liquid supply part to the current suppression column through the switching valve to perform acid washing on the current suppression column until the acid washing time reaches the second preset acid washing time threshold. The current suppression column is the first suppression column or the second suppression column.

[0150] The liquid supply module supplies the cleaning liquid in the cleaning liquid supply part to the current suppression column through the switching valve to perform water washing on the current suppression column until the water washing time reaches the second preset water washing time threshold.

[0151] Another suppression column other than the current suppression column among the first suppression column and the second suppression column is used as a new current suppression column, and the step of controlling the liquid supply module to supply the regeneration liquid in the regeneration liquid supply part to the current suppression column through the switching valve is performed.

[0152] For example, before sample injection detection, the first suppression column and the second suppression column can be continuously subjected to acid washing and water washing, so as to maintain the capacity of the suppression column and the cleaning of the pipeline.

[0153] The second preset acid washing time threshold can be the same as or less than the first preset acid washing time threshold, for example, can be set to 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc.

[0154] The second preset water washing time threshold can be the same as or less than the first preset water washing time threshold, for example, can be set to 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc.

[0155] In some embodiments, before S401, the process further includes a sample injection judgment process, which is specifically as follows:

[0156] A preparation sample signal sent by the ion chromatography control system is received.

[0157] After the first preset waiting time, if an actual sample signal sent by the ion chromatography control system is received, the step of determining the target suppression column used for sample injection detection from the first suppression column and the second suppression column in the suppression device is performed.

[0158] The ion chromatography control system is an overall control of ion chromatography detection. When sample injection detection is performed, the ion chromatography control system sends a control instruction for sample injection detection. The sample generally passes through a sample injection pump, a six-way valve, a chromatographic column, reaches a suppressor, and then flows through a detector for detection. In the suppressor system provided in this embodiment, the sample passes through a sample injection pump, a six-way valve, a chromatographic column module, a switching valve, a target suppressor column, and a conductivity cell module, and then generates an electrical signal of a detection result.

[0159] The first preset waiting time length may be set according to actual application, for example, 1 second, 2 seconds, etc.

[0160] The preparation sample injection signal and the actual sample injection signal sent by the ion chromatography control system can provide time buffer for sample injection detection of the suppressor system, thereby providing a better basis for subsequent sample injection detection.

[0161] The suppressor system may directly perform the step of determining the target suppressor column used for sample injection detection from the first suppressor column and the second suppressor column in the suppressor device within the first preset waiting time length, and directly perform a sample injection detection process after receiving the actual sample injection signal sent by the ion chromatography control system, thereby improving the efficiency of sample injection detection.

[0162] S402, according to the target suppressor column, the switching valve is controlled to switch to a corresponding state to make the chromatographic column module, the target suppressor column, and the conductivity cell module communicate, and the liquid supply module and another suppressor column communicate.

[0163] The corresponding state is the second state if the target suppressor column is the first suppressor column, and the corresponding state is the first state if the target suppressor column is the second suppressor column.

[0164] S403, the liquid supply module is controlled to supply the regeneration liquid of the regeneration liquid supply part to the other suppressor column through the switching valve to perform acid washing on the other suppressor column until the acid washing time length reaches a first preset acid washing time threshold.

[0165] The other suppressor column is the second suppressor column if the target suppressor column is the first suppressor column, and the other suppressor column is the first suppressor column if the target suppressor column is the second suppressor column.

[0166] The first preset acid washing time threshold may be set according to actual application, for example, may be set to 15 minutes, 20 minutes, etc.

[0167] S404, the liquid supply module is controlled to supply the cleaning liquid of the cleaning liquid supply part to the other suppressor column through the switching valve to perform water washing on the other suppressor column until the water washing time length reaches a first preset water washing time threshold.

[0168] Exemplarily, the first preset water washing time threshold value can be set according to actual application, for example, can be set to 20 minutes, 25 minutes, etc.

[0169] In some embodiments, after S404, a new sample injection detection process is further included, and specifically as follows:

[0170] After the second preset waiting time, if a new actual sample injection signal sent by the ion chromatography control system is received, the switching valve is controlled to switch the state, so as to make the chromatographic column module, the other suppression column, and the conductivity cell module communicate, and the liquid supply module and the target suppression column communicate.

[0171] The liquid supply module is controlled to supply the regeneration liquid of the regeneration liquid supply part to the target suppression column through the switching valve, so as to perform acid washing on the target suppression column until the acid washing time reaches a third preset acid washing time threshold value.

[0172] The liquid supply module is controlled to supply the cleaning liquid of the cleaning liquid supply part to the target suppression column through the switching valve, so as to perform water washing on the target suppression column until the water washing time reaches a third preset water washing time threshold value.

[0173] Exemplarily, the second preset waiting time can be set according to actual application, for example, can be set to 10 minutes, 20 minutes, etc. The second preset waiting time is related to the time of the current sample injection detection.

[0174] The third preset acid washing time threshold value can be the same as the second preset acid washing time threshold value and the first preset acid washing time threshold value, or can be different. The third preset acid washing time threshold value can be set to 10 minutes, 15 minutes, etc.

[0175] The third preset water washing time threshold value can be the same as the second preset water washing time threshold value and the first preset water washing time threshold value, or can be different. The third preset water washing time threshold value can be set to 20 minutes, 25 minutes, etc.

[0176] Exemplarily, after the last detection is completed, the switching valve can be directly controlled to switch the state, so as to make the chromatographic column module, the other suppression column, and the conductivity cell module communicate, and the liquid supply module and the target suppression column communicate, to perform pipeline cleaning and suppression column regeneration.
