Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of analytical detection, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a high-purity aluminum fluoride powder sample for glow discharge mass spectrometry analysis. BACKGROUND

[0002] Traditional aluminum fluoride (purity 90%-95%) cannot meet the needs of high-end applications such as optical coating, fluoride optical fiber and new energy battery materials due to its high impurity content, and is mainly used in low-end fields such as electrolytic aluminum flux and organic catalyst. High-purity aluminum fluoride (purity ≥ 99.5%) has become a key material in the above-mentioned fields due to its excellent anti-reflection, oxidation resistance and stability, but the precise detection of trace impurities (such as Li, B and Fe) in high-purity aluminum fluoride powder faces technical bottlenecks such as non-conductivity, fluorine volatilization and insufficient sensitivity. In the production of lithium battery materials, impurity elements in high-purity aluminum fluoride powder can cause side reactions with electrolyte, reducing the charge-discharge efficiency and cycle stability of the battery. Therefore, accurate and rapid detection of trace elements in high-purity aluminum fluoride powder is of great significance for quality control and product performance optimization.

[0003] However, there are many technical difficulties in detecting trace elements in high-purity aluminum fluoride powder. First, high-purity aluminum fluoride powder is a non-conductive material, while the commonly used glow discharge mass spectrometer (GDMS) detection method usually requires the sample to have good conductivity, otherwise it will cause unstable discharge, affecting the accuracy and repeatability of the detection signal. Second, the fluorine element in high-purity aluminum fluoride is prone to volatilization during detection, which not only causes deviation in the detection results, but also causes corrosion to the detection instrument, reducing the service life and detection accuracy of the instrument. In addition, the traditional chemical digestion method may introduce new impurities or cause loss of some trace elements when processing high-purity aluminum fluoride powder, thereby affecting the accuracy and reliability of the detection results. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a sample pretreatment method that is easy to operate, has controllable pollution and high detection sensitivity, to solve the problems of poor conductivity of the sample, fluorine volatilization and corrosion of the instrument, and insufficient sensitivity of trace element detection in GDMS detection of high-purity aluminum fluoride powder.

[0004] The patent "Method for analyzing non-conductor materials by glow discharge mass spectrometry" (publication number: CN102175754A) uses an indium coating method to analyze non-conductor materials by direct current glow discharge mass spectrometry. This method has simple pretreatment, ideal signal-to-noise ratio (S / N), shortens the analysis time and improves the analysis efficiency. Although it has strong universality, the indium coating method is more suitable for conventional block-shaped non-conductors, and the indium coating method has poor compatibility with fluorides (indium-fluorine reaction), which can increase the risk of pollution. SUMMARY

[0010] In step 3, the purity of the graphite powder is ≥5N5, the tablet pressing time is ≤30s, and the tablet pressing pressure is 20 to 25t.

[0011] After adding graphite powder around the mold to fix it in step 3, an aluminum fluoride sheet with a graphite periphery is made, and then a ring-shaped isolation groove is etched outside the edge of the aluminum fluoride sheet using ultraviolet laser.

[0012] In step 4, after transferring the aluminum fluoride sheet to the magnetron sputtering instrument, the cavity of the magnetron sputtering instrument is evacuated to 5×10 -3 Pa.

[0014] In step 5, the fluorinated aluminum flaky sample after coating is placed in a vacuum nitrogen-filled drying box for 1 hour to stabilize the coating structure and meet the conductivity requirements.

[0015] After step 5 is completed, the obtained sample is loaded into a sample holder of a glow discharge mass spectrometer, argon gas is introduced as a discharge gas, and pulse glow discharge mass spectrometer analysis is performed to collect the signal intensity of the elements to be detected, and the mass fraction of trace impurity elements is calculated by using the relative sensitivity factor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0018] The present application provides a preparation method of a high-purity aluminum fluoride powder sample for glow discharge mass spectrometry analysis, which is specifically implemented according to the following steps: Step 1: Mix high-purity aluminum fluoride powder with anhydrous ethanol at a mass ratio of 1:5-1:10, ultrasonically disperse for 30-60 min, and then place in a drying box at 100-150°C for 1-2 hours to remove the surface adsorbed water, and obtain loose distributed high-purity aluminum fluoride powder.

[0019] Step 2, evenly spread high-purity aluminum fluoride powder on a quartz substrate with a thickness of ≤1 mm, and place it in a plasma reaction chamber. Introduce argon gas with a purity of ≥99.999% and maintain a pressure of 10-15 Pa. Start the radio frequency plasma source discharge with a power of 80 W and a frequency of 13.56 MHz. Treat the powder for 20 minutes to form a dense fluorinated passivation layer on the surface.

[0020] Step 3, place the passivated high-purity aluminum fluoride powder in a pressing mold, fill the surrounding with high-purity graphite powder (≥5N5), and apply pressure to press the powder. The high-purity aluminum fluoride powder and graphite powder will tightly bond to form a solid circular sheet with graphite on the outside and aluminum fluoride in the center. The pressing time is ≤30 s, the pressing pressure is 20-25 t, and the surface floating powder is blown off with an ear bulb after demolding. A PTFE rod is gently tapped on the back without powder falling off to obtain the desired sheet-shaped sample. The sample diameter of the graphite-fixed aluminum fluoride circular sheet obtained by pressing is 30 mm, and the thickness is 4-6 mm. Subsequently, cover the sample surface center with a diameter of 6 mm in the aluminum fluoride sheet region outside the sputtering area, and use an ultraviolet laser to etch a ring-shaped isolation groove in the covered area. The groove width is 1 mm. Due to the presence of the groove, the plasma can only sputter on the aluminum fluoride sheet, and cannot contact the graphite sheet outside, ensuring physical isolation effect.

Then repeat sputtering once again, i.e., switch to a gold target after sputtering with a high-purity graphite target. The sample table rotates at a speed of 15-20 rpm during magnetron sputtering to ensure uniformity of the coating.

[0022] Step 5, place the coated high-purity aluminum fluoride sheet sample in a vacuum nitrogen-filled drying box for 1 hour to stabilize the coating structure and ensure that the sample meets the sample conductivity requirements.

[0023] Step 6, the sample is loaded into the sample holder of the glow discharge mass spectrometer, high-purity argon gas is introduced as the discharge gas, and pulse glow discharge mass spectrometry analysis is carried out, the signal intensity of the element to be detected is collected, and the mass fraction of the trace impurity element is calculated by using the relative sensitivity factor.

[0024] The preparation method of the high-purity aluminum fluoride powder sample for glow discharge mass spectrometry analysis has the advantages that: by combining plasma passivation and gradient sputtering coating technology, vacuum drying adsorption of moisture and ultrasonic dispersion are adopted to reduce agglomeration; argon plasma pretreatment forms a dense fluorinated layer, which reduces the fluorine volatilization amount by more than 80%, and significantly reduces the corrosion of the instrument; the carbon-gold double-layer coating design takes into account the conductivity and signal penetration, and the detection limit of trace elements (such as Li, B, Fe) is as low as 0.02 ppm, and the whole process does not need complex sample processing, and the universality is strong; the process parameters are compatible with existing GDMS equipment, and are suitable for high-throughput, high-precision impurity analysis in the fields of semiconductors and new energy materials, and have the values of high efficiency, environmental protection and industrialization promotion.
