Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of uranium ore detection and analysis technology, and in particular to a laser fluorescence method for uranium determination based on a fluorescence enhancer. Background Technology
[0002] In uranium exploration and development, accurate detection of trace uranium is crucial for assessing uranium reserves and guiding mining processes. Currently, the main methods for detecting trace uranium in uranium ore include inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and laser fluorescence spectrometry. While ICP-MS offers high accuracy, it is expensive, complex to operate, and requires stringent environmental conditions. Laser fluorescence spectrometry, on the other hand, is widely used in uranium analysis due to its low detection limit (down to the μg / g level), lower cost, and elimination of complex sample enrichment and separation steps.
[0003] In existing conventional laser fluorescence detection methods, the typical operational steps include sample pretreatment, solution preparation, fluorescence intensity measurement, and result calculation. In the sample pretreatment stage, current technologies often employ methods such as open-air acid dissolution, alkali fusion, and dry ashing. Dry ashing requires calcining the sample at 600℃ for 2-3 hours, followed by cooling and then acid dissolution, making the entire pretreatment process time-consuming. Open-air acid dissolution often uses single or mixed acid systems such as nitric acid and hydrochloric acid; however, for high-sulfur and high-organic-matter uranium ore samples, incomplete acid dissolution is prone to occur, producing a large amount of suspended matter. This suspended matter can adhere to the inner wall of the detection container or scatter the laser, severely affecting the accuracy of fluorescence intensity measurement. While alkali fusion can solve the problem of incomplete sample decomposition to some extent, the operation process is cumbersome, and excessive matrix impurities are easily introduced during alkali fusion, leading to deviations in the detection results. Although microwave digestion has high decomposition efficiency, the amount of sample that can be processed at one time is limited (usually only 1-2 samples), and it requires sophisticated equipment, making it unsuitable for the detection needs of large batches of samples.
[0004] In summary, there is an urgent need for an efficient and accurate laser fluorescence method for uranium determination to overcome the aforementioned technical deficiencies. Summary of the Invention

[0021] A laser fluorescence method for uranium determination based on a fluorescence enhancer includes the following steps: Step 1: Sample pretreatment; Step 1.1: Accurately weigh 0.1000g of the sample and place it in a porcelain crucible; heat it in a muffle furnace at 600℃ for 1 hour to remove sulfur and organic matter from the sample, and remove the crucible by a robotic arm. After removal, brush the powder into the polytetrafluoroethylene crucible. Step 2, Sample processing; Step 2.1: Add a mixture of 5 mL nitric acid, 3 mL perchloric acid and 2 mL hydrofluoric acid to the sample powder from Step 1.1; Step 2.2: Place the crucible on a temperature-controlled heating plate and heat at ≤300℃ for 1 hour. After the sample has completely decomposed, open the lid and evaporate until the white smoke dissipates. 2.3 After cooling, add 1 mL of nitric acid to wash the inner wall of the crucible, and heat again until the sample solution is concentrated to a wet salt state; 2.4. Add 5 mL of (1+2) nitric acid mixture and an appropriate amount of ultrapure water while hot, heat until the solution is clear, cool and transfer to a 50 mL volumetric flask, dilute to volume and shake well for later use. 2-3 reagent blanks need to be set up for each batch. Step 3: Detection and Interference Control; Step 3.1: Transfer 0.5 mL of the pretreated solution to a quartz cuvette, add 4.5 mL of deionized water, and measure the initial fluorescence intensity (F); after rinsing the cuvette, add 0.5 mL of sample solution, 4.5 mL of sodium hydroxide solution, and 4.0 mL of mixed reagent, and stir well; if the manganese ion content in the sample is high, add 0.02 mol / L EDTA solution to the hydrochloric acid extract for masking; if the iron ion content is high, reduce its concentration by dilution; The mixed reagent is a mixture of fluorescence enhancer, EDTA (disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate) and buffer solution; the concentration of EDTA solution is 0.01~0.1 mol / L, and the required mass of potassium dihydrogen phosphate and potassium hydrogen phosphate is 3~8g and 7~12g respectively to prepare 1L of buffer solution. The buffer solution is a phosphate buffer, and the volume ratio of the fluorescence enhancer, EDTA and buffer solution is 1:2:7. When the concentration of manganese ions in the sample is ≥0.1 mg / L, add 0.02 mol / L EDTA solution to the mixed solution; Step 3.2: Measure the fluorescence intensity (F1), then add 0.020-0.050 mL of uranium standard solution (concentration 0.24 g / mL or 1.04 g / mL), mix well, and then measure the fluorescence intensity (F2); test the blank solution simultaneously. Step 4: Calculate the result. Use the following formula to calculate the mass fraction of uranium. ; In the formula: ω is the mass fraction of uranium in the sample; F is the fluorescence intensity of the sample solution before the addition of the mixed reagent; F1 is the fluorescence intensity reading obtained after adding the mixed solution; F2 is the fluorescence signal obtained after adding the standard uranium solution; Vs is the volume of the uranium standard solution added to the sample, in mL; m is the sample weight, in g; V1 / V2 refers to the ratio of the total fixed volume of the sample solution to the volume taken for detection; C is the concentration of the uranium standard solution, in μg / mL; K is the volume correction factor, calculated by the formula (Vt+Vs) / Vt.
[0022] Furthermore, in step 3.1, when the iron ion concentration in the sample is ≥0.5mg / L, ultrapure water is used for dilution, with a dilution factor of 5-10 times.
[0023] Based on the above embodiments, sample pretreatment can also be carried out by ashing treatment, specifically: accurately weigh 0.1000g of sample into a porcelain crucible, heat it for 1 hour at ≤300℃ on a temperature-controlled electric heating plate to remove sulfur and organic matter from the sample.
[0024] In the pretreatment stage, multiple groups of 0.1000g unknown samples and samples with different contents of certified reference materials were weighed in parallel and treated in various ways. The digestion effects are listed in Tables 1 and 2. Table 1 shows that the untreated unknown sample still had a large amount of black suspended matter on the liquid surface after being brought to volume, shaken, and allowed to stand for 12 hours. However, the samples pretreated with ashing, aqua regia, sulfuric acid, and perchloric acid + nitric acid showed clear solutions after being brought to volume, shaken, and allowed to stand for 12 hours. Table 2 shows that failure to pretreat the samples before mixed acid digestion leads to large fluctuations in sample test results. Treating the samples with ashing and perchloric acid resulted in better accuracy and consistency of the test results. In samples pretreated with hydrogen peroxide, the test results were lower due to splashing during the treatment process. Because the sulfuric-phosphoric acid mixture is a non-volatile acid, it could not be evaporated to dryness even after prolonged pretreatment, resulting in no test results. Sulfuric acid pretreatment was time-consuming and resulted in higher test results. Two ashing methods were used: ashing method 1 and ashing method 2. For ashing method 1, 0.1000g of sample was directly weighed into a ceramic crucible, calcined at 600℃ for 2-3 hours, and then cooled to room temperature before being carefully transferred to a polytetrafluoroethylene crucible for pretreatment. For ashing method 2, approximately 1g of sample was weighed into a ceramic crucible, the weight of the crucible and the sample were recorded, and the sample was calcined at 600℃ for 2-3 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the total weight of the crucible and the sample after calcination was recorded, and the change in sample weight before and after calcination was calculated. 0.1000g of sample was weighed for pretreatment, and the sample weight change coefficient was considered when calculating the results.
[0025] Table 1 above shows the effects of different pretreatment schemes.
[0026] Table 2 above shows the test results for different pretreatment schemes.
[0027] In summary, pretreatment of uranium-bearing ores with high sulfur and high organic matter content using perchloric acid, nitric acid, and ashing can meet the detection requirements. After adding 1 mL of perchloric acid and 1 mL of nitric acid to the sample, it is evaporated to near dryness on a hot plate at approximately 220°C. Then, another 1 mL of perchloric acid and 1 mL of nitric acid are added, and the mixture is evaporated to near dryness. Subsequently, the sample is processed according to the sample pretreatment steps. The resulting HClO4+HNO3-treated sample has high detection accuracy and is more time-efficient compared to the ashing method.
[0028] By comparing different pretreatment methods, a method for batch analysis of high-sulfur and high-organic-matter samples was determined, and the influencing factors in the analysis process were investigated. (1) This method utilizes perchloric acid + nitric acid pretreatment, which can effectively solve the problem of a large amount of suspended matter in high sulfur and high organic matter samples in general processing procedures. Compared with methods such as high temperature ashing, this method is more time-efficient.
[0029] (2) Elements such as iron, manganese, and chlorine have strong ultraviolet light absorption properties, which can easily suppress the fluorescence emission signal of uranium, resulting in a "quenching effect" that reduces fluorescence intensity. The introduction of fluorescence enhancers can improve the luminescence intensity of uranyl ions to a certain extent, and also mask some interfering ions. The effect on iron ions is limited, while the shielding ability for manganese ions is poor. Adding EDTA solution can effectively reduce the interference of manganese ions.
[0030] In this invention, the muffle furnace 1 has a heating chamber 3 inside for storing the crucible 10. The heating chamber 3 is sealed and covered by a door 2. The crucible 10 is placed in or removed by a clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism includes a cylinder gripper 6. The outer side of the cylinder gripper 6 is provided with symmetrically arranged swing arms 61. The end of the swing arm 61 is provided with a semi-circular retaining ring 62. The semi-circular retaining ring 62 is driven by the cylinder gripper 6 to contact or move away from the crucible 10. When it is necessary to clamp the crucible for placement or removal, the cylinder gripper 6 drives the swing arms 61 on both sides to swing, thereby clamping the crucible 10 through the semi-circular retaining ring 62. When the crucible 10 is placed in place, the semi-circular retaining ring 62 swings outward to release the crucible 10, thereby avoiding manual handling and improving the safety of the testing process.
[0031] The outer side of the cylinder gripper 6 is fixedly connected to the horizontally arranged optical axis 7. The optical axis 7 can move horizontally. When the optical axis 7 extends, the semi-circular ring 62 sends the crucible 10 into the heating chamber 10 through the cylinder gripper 6. When the optical axis 7 retracts, the semi-circular ring 62 takes out the crucible 10 through the cylinder gripper 6. That is to say, the purpose of extending and retracting the optical axis 7 is to place or take out the crucible 10 into the heating chamber 3, and the whole process reduces manual intervention.
[0032] In this embodiment, an outer support 4 is also provided on the outside of the muffle furnace 1. A movable push plate 8 is provided on the surface of the outer support 4. A stepper motor 82 is provided on the side of the movable push plate 8 away from the muffle furnace 1. The stepper motor 82 is fixed on the movable push plate 8. The output shaft of the stepper motor 82 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the optical axis 7. After the stepper motor 82 runs, it drives the crucible 10 to rotate. After the sample is heated in the crucible, the optical axis 7 moves towards the muffle furnace 1. After moving, the cylinder gripper 6 opens and then clamps the crucible 10. Then the optical axis 7 retracts. After retraction, the stepper motor 82 starts. After starting, the optical axis 7 and the cylinder gripper 6 rotate and move by an angle. During this process, the two semi-circular clamping rings 62 always clamp the crucible 10, so as to facilitate the internal powder to leave the crucible.
[0033] In order to realize the telescopic movement of the optical axis 7, the surface of the outer support 4 is provided with a guide rail 81, the bottom of the movable push plate 8 is provided with a slider that cooperates with the guide rail 81, the end of the outer support 4 is provided with a stepper motor 9, the output end of the stepper motor 9 is fixed with a lead screw 91, the lead screw 91 extends through the movable push plate 8 toward the muffle furnace 1, and the stepper motor 9 drives the crucible 10 to enter and exit the heating chamber 3 after running.
[0034] In other words, the lead screw 91 is engaged with the movable push plate 8 through the thread. When the lead screw 91 rotates, the movable push rod 8 is driven to move in a straight line along the trajectory of the guide rail 81 due to the thread action. Since the stepper motor 82 and the optical shaft are connected to the movable push plate 8, the movement of the movable push plate 8 drives the stepper motor 82 and the optical shaft to move, thereby realizing the semi-circular ring 6 extending into or retracting into the heating chamber to meet the needs of taking out and placing the crucible.
[0035] To facilitate the removal of powder from the crucible, a multi-axis robotic arm 5 is also provided on one side of the outer support 4. The output end of the robotic arm 5 is equipped with a steel brush 51 for brushing away powder from the crucible. The steel brush 51 is cylindrical and rotates by a motor. When the stepper motor 82 tilts the crucible 10 at a certain angle, the robotic arm 5 moves and drives the steel brush 51 to extend into the crucible. The rotation of the steel brush brushes out the powder adhering to the inner wall for subsequent testing.
[0036] The outer support 4 structure enables automatic loading and unloading of the crucible, and the powder inside the sample can be easily removed after heating, reducing or eliminating manual intervention and achieving a high degree of automation.
[0037] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
