Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of spectroscopic analysis and material detection technology, and in particular to a deuterium lamp device and an atomic absorption spectroscopic analysis method and system using a deuterium lamp. Background Technology

[0002] Atomic absorption spectroscopy is an analytical technique used to determine the concentration of a specific element in a sample. It is based on the Lambert absorption principle, which states that atoms absorb light of a specific wavelength when they transition from their ground state to an excited state. By measuring the amount of light absorbed by a sample at a specific wavelength, the concentration of that element in the sample can be determined.

[0003] When using a deuterium lamp and a hollow cathode lamp (HCL lamp) for atomic absorption spectroscopy, the basic steps include: (1) Sample preparation: dissolving or converting the sample to be measured into a form suitable for spectral measurement; (2) Light source selection: selecting a suitable deuterium lamp and / or HCL lamp as the light source to generate a continuous spectrum or a characteristic spectrum; (3) Spectrum generation: the light source emits light of a specific wavelength, and when it passes through the sample, the atoms in the sample absorb the light of that specific wavelength; (4) Spectral measurement: the light emitted by the light source passes through the sample, and a monochromator is used to separate the light transmitted through the sample into specific wavelengths, and the intensity of the light of that specific wavelength is measured; (5) Data processing: recording the relationship between transmittance (the ratio of the intensity of the light transmitted through the sample to the intensity of the incident light) and wavelength, and calculating the concentration of elements in the sample based on the transmittance using the Beer-Lambert Law.

[0004] Background subtraction is an important step in atomic absorption spectroscopy measurements using deuterium lamps and HCl lamps. However, the following problems may exist in actual operation: (1) The matrix, solvent or other coexisting substances in the sample may absorb or scatter light, generating complex background signals that are difficult to accurately subtract; (2) The spectral output of deuterium lamps and HCl lamps may be unstable, leading to fluctuations in the measurement results and affecting the accuracy of background subtraction; (3) Spectral interference: There may be spectral lines of other elements in the sample that overlap with the spectral lines of the target element, resulting in spectral interference and making background subtraction more complicated.

[0005] Background absorption and scattering effects are more pronounced in graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) than in flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). Currently used background correction methods, such as continuous source methods and pulsed source methods, may not be able to completely and accurately subtract all types of background signals. Summary of the Invention

[0021] The data processing unit is used to analyze and process the electrical signals of the photodetector to obtain analysis results.

[0022] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the hollow cathode lamp unit includes a drive motor, a lamp assembly turntable, and a plurality of hollow cathode lamps. The plurality of hollow cathode lamps are evenly distributed around the mounting position.

[0049] To facilitate a clear description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention, the terms "first" and "second" are used to distinguish identical or similar items with essentially the same function and effect. For example, the first threshold and the second threshold are merely used to distinguish different thresholds and do not limit their order. Those skilled in the art will understand that the terms "first" and "second" do not limit the quantity or execution order, and that the terms "first" and "second" are not necessarily different.

[0050] It should be noted that in this invention, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in this invention should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of terms such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner.

[0051] In this invention, "at least one" refers to one or more, and "more than one" refers to two or more. "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects are in an "or" relationship. "At least one" or similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of singular or plural items. For example, "at least one of a, b, or c" can represent: a, b, c, a combination of a and b, a combination of a and c, a combination of b and c, or a, b, and c, where a, b, and c can be single or multiple.

[0052] Traditional measurement methods use a hollow cathode lamp as the measuring beam to determine the total absorbance (atomic absorption + background absorption), while simultaneously using a split beam that does not pass through the atomizer to measure the background absorbance. The atomic absorption signal is obtained by subtracting the two. Atomic absorption spectrophotometer systems are typically equipped with automatic calibration devices using continuous light sources such as deuterium lamps or tungsten iodine lamps. Deuterium lamps are suitable for background subtraction in the ultraviolet region. The continuous spectral width emitted by a deuterium lamp is approximately one hundred times the width of the atomic absorption line, and its contribution to the atomic absorption signal is less than 0.5%. Therefore, the deuterium lamp measurement value can be considered as pure background absorption. Currently used background correction methods, such as continuous light source methods and pulsed light source methods, may not be able to completely and accurately subtract all types of background signals.

[0053] like Figure 1 The diagram shows a schematic of a deuterium lamp device. The device includes: a quartz lampshade 1, a pair of discharge electrodes 2, a lamp holder 3, a heat sink 4, a pulse power supply 5, a frequency modulator 6, and a controller 7. The quartz lampshade 1 comprises an arc-shaped top 11 and cylindrical sidewalls 12, forming a U-shaped sealed structure. A through-hole 13 is provided in the center of the cylindrical sidewalls 12, and the axis of the through-hole 13 is collinear with the central axis of the discharge cavity 14 inside the quartz lampshade. The discharge electrodes are symmetrically arranged inside the arc-shaped top 11. The lamp holder 3 is sealed to the bottom of the quartz lampshade 1 and has a temperature sensor embedded inside. The heat sink 4 is fitted onto the outside of the lamp holder 3 and is attached to the bottom of the quartz lampshade 1. The inner wall of the through-hole 13 is coated with a silica antireflective film.

[0054] The pulse power supply 5 is electrically connected to the discharge electrode 2; the frequency modulator 6 is electrically connected to the pulse power supply 5 and is used to adjust the pulse frequency of the pulse power supply; the controller 7 is electrically connected to the pulse power supply 5, the frequency modulator 6, and the temperature sensor respectively, and controls the preheating, frequency adjustment, and overheat protection of the deuterium lamp. The lamp holder 3 is provided with a slip ring terminal, and the pulse power supply 5 and the discharge electrode 2 are electrically connected through the slip ring terminal, with an output frequency of 140 to 150 Hz.

[0055] The light-transmitting aperture 13 can be circular, square, or elliptical. When the light-transmitting aperture 13 is circular, its diameter is 2-3 mm, and its inner wall is coated with a 100-150 nm thick silicon dioxide antireflection film. The discharge electrodes are symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the arc-shaped top, with a spacing of 1-1.5 mm.

[0056] The lamp holder is made of high-temperature resistant ceramic material and is sealed to the bottom of the quartz lampshade with fluororubber. The temperature sensor embedded inside has a detection range of 0℃-100℃.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, the atomic absorption spectrometry analysis system utilizing a deuterium lamp, implemented using the aforementioned deuterium lamp device, includes:

[0058] Hollow cathode lamp unit 21, which has a built-in hollow cathode lamp that emits the first beam after being powered on and preheated;

[0059] The first lens 22 is used to focus and collimate the first beam so that it passes through the light-transmitting aperture of the deuterium lamp device;

[0060] The deuterium lamp device 23 is used to emit a second beam at a first frequency under the drive of a pulsed power supply;

[0061] The second lens 24 is used to focus the first beam and / or the second beam directly into the sample cell;

[0062] Sample cell 25 is used to house the test sample in a combustion state;

[0063] The third lens 26 is used to focus the first beam and / or the second beam passing through the sample cell onto the entrance aperture of the monochromator;

[0064] Monochromator 27 is used to perform spectral splitting on the incoming first beam and / or second beam, decomposing the incident light into a spectrum arranged according to wavelength, and finally outputting the split optical signal to the photodetector.

[0065] The photodetector 28 is used to convert the optical signal output from the monochromator into an electrical signal through photoelectric conversion, and is preferably a photomultiplier tube or a charge-coupled device. The photodetector 28 is placed in a metal shielded chamber to shield electromagnetic signals and prevent interference.

[0066] The data processing unit 29 is used to analyze and process the electrical signal of the photodetector to obtain the analysis results.

[0067] The sample cell 25 has a two-stage atomizer for sample atomization. The atomized sample is mixed with fuel in the mixing chamber for subsequent atomization of elements in the flame. For flame atomization, acetylene / air and acetylene / nitrosyl are used to achieve optimal efficiency for elements requiring different atomization temperatures.

[0068] The system includes multiple adjustment mechanisms arranged along the optical path to support components 21 to 27 located on the optical path. These mechanisms are used to make minor adjustments to the various components on the optical path. The adjustment mechanisms are piezoelectric ceramic drivers or stepper motor adjustment frames. The system also includes a spot detection module, which is a quadrant detector or a CCD beam analyzer. This module is used to adjust the spots of the first and second beams emitted by the hollow cathode lamp and deuterium lamp before measurement begins, ensuring that the spots overlap.

[0069] like Figure 3 As shown, the hollow cathode lamp unit includes a drive motor, a lamp assembly turntable, and multiple hollow cathode lamps. These lamps are evenly distributed circumferentially on the mounting positions of the turntable. The drive motor is positioned at the center of the turntable and drives its rotation to replace the hollow cathode lamps in the optical path. To ensure that the beams of the hollow cathode lamps and the deuterium lamp are strictly aligned, the turntable is also equipped with a photoelectric positioning sensor. A trigger signal via a positioning pin ensures that the coaxiality error between the first beam emitted after the hollow cathode lamp switching and the light-transmitting aperture 13 of the deuterium lamp is ≤0.05mm. The first beam and the second beam share the same optical path. In practice, the drive motor rotates the turntable. When the positioning pin blocks the infrared light from the photoelectric sensor, the receiver generates a trigger signal, and the controller stops the drive motor, ensuring that the target lamp and the light-transmitting aperture 13 are coaxial.

[0070] The first and third lenses are quartz plano-convex lenses, and the second lens is an achromatic quartz lens.

[0071] like Figure 4 As shown, the atomic absorption spectrometry analysis method using a deuterium lamp based on the aforementioned analysis system includes the following steps:

[0072] S1: System preheating and calibration: The controller starts the deuterium lamp preheating and the hollow cathode lamp preheating, and the monochromator wavelength and slit width are calibrated using standard samples;

[0073] S2: The sample to be tested is atomized, introduced into the sample cell, and the flame is ignited;

[0074] S3: Control the hollow cathode lamp and deuterium lamp to alternately light up in real time according to the first frequency, and perform three-stage measurements in each alternation cycle, specifically including:

[0075] In the first stage, only the first photoelectric signal after the first beam passes through the sample is measured to obtain the characteristic absorbance. ;

[0076] At this stage, the main measurement is of the signal affected by the presence of the analyte; after the first beam emitted by the hollow cathode lamp passes through the sample in the sample cell, the detector receives the following signal:

[0077] ;

[0078] In the second stage, only the second photoelectric signal after the second beam passes through the sample is measured to obtain the background absorbance. ;

[0079] During this stage, the primary measurement is of non-specific signals from the background; the deuterium lamp, driven by a pulsed power supply, emits continuous ultraviolet light in the range of 190 to 350 nm, the spectral width of which is much larger than the atomic absorption linewidth. Since the absorption of continuous light by atoms is negligible and constitutes only a very small portion of the background, the signal received by the detector is mainly:

[0080] In the third stage, only the third photoelectric signal, for which no beam of light passes through the sample, is measured to obtain the detector background. .

[0081] During this phase, both the hollow cathode lamp and the deuterium lamp are turned off, and the detector only measures its own dark current / noise to obtain the detector background. .

[0082] The first frequency ranges from 100 to 200 Hz, and preferably from 140 to 150 Hz.

[0083] In this embodiment of the invention, the first frequency can be set to 142 Hz, which means that 142 three-stage measurement processes are completed per second. Therefore, the signal changes of the sample under test during the atomization process can be dynamically tracked, which can adapt to scenarios that require rapid analysis, such as when it is necessary to measure the transient signal of flame atomization.

[0084] S4: Within each alternation cycle corresponding to the first frequency, the net absorbance signal obtained after eliminating background interference is calculated based on the measurement data as follows: In this formula, the numerator represents the total effective signal of atomic absorption and background absorption after subtracting the detector background, and the denominator represents the effective signal of background absorption after subtracting the detector background. The logarithm of the ratio of the numerator and denominator represents the absorbance contributed solely by atomic absorption, at which point the background is completely subtracted. Using a three-stage measurement method ensures that atomic signal acquisition, background signal acquisition, and background subtraction are completed synchronously in each measurement cycle, effectively eliminating complex background interference in atomic absorption spectroscopy analysis.

[0085] S5: Average the net absorbance signal obtained from multiple pulse cycles measured at the first frequency, and use the average value as the final measurement result. By averaging the measurement results through high-frequency pulse measurement, random noise can be effectively suppressed and signal stability improved.

[0086] Before the signal measurement in step S3, the photoelectric positioning sensor is used to confirm that the hollow cathode lamp beam is coaxial with the light-transmitting hole of the deuterium lamp. If the coaxiality error is >0.05mm, the position of the turntable of a single hollow cathode lamp or the lamp group corresponding to the hollow cathode lamp needs to be adjusted.

[0087] Step S4 further includes: combining internal standard correction for matrix effects and substituting into the standard curve to obtain the sample concentration; wherein, the internal standard correction adopts the signal ratio method: calculating the absorbance ratio of the target element and the internal standard element to eliminate injection volume fluctuation error.

[0088] Since hollow cathode lamps require preheating, multiple hollow cathode lamps can be used to form a lamp assembly turntable to improve efficiency. For example, multiple hollow cathode lamps can be arranged on the turntable, and each lamp can switch to its measurement position as the turntable rotates. While one hollow cathode lamp is measuring, the other hollow cathode lamps are powered on to preheat. When the preheated hollow cathode lamp switches to the measurement position, it can immediately emit light for measurement, reducing preheating waiting time and improving measurement efficiency.

In this specification, the word "comprising" does not exclude other components or steps, and "a" or "an" does not exclude multiple components. A single processor or other unit can implement several functions listed in the specification. While certain measures are described in different embodiments, this does not mean that these measures cannot be combined to produce good results.

Accordingly, this specification and drawings are merely illustrative of the invention and are considered to cover any and all modifications, variations, combinations, or equivalents within the scope of the invention.
