Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of extraterrestrial sample testing technology, specifically to a target sample and its preparation method based on an extraterrestrial sample combined process. Background Technology

[0002] Extraterrestrial samples refer to materials originating from celestial bodies outside Earth. They carry original information about the formation and evolution of the solar system, like time capsules of the universe. Studying extraterrestrial samples not only deepens human understanding of the universe but also provides crucial comparative evidence for the origin and evolution of Earth, serving as an important cornerstone of planetary science.

[0003] Cosmogenic nuclides (such as) 10 Be、 22 Na、 26 Al、 41 Ca, 53 Mn and 60 The analysis and determination of cosmogenic nuclides (such as Fe) are important quantitative techniques for planetary science research. For meteorite samples, by measuring the concentration of cosmogenic nuclides in the meteorite samples, we can understand important information such as the space irradiation history of the meteorite samples in the solar system and the age of the meteorite samples after landing on the Earth's surface. For lunar samples (lunar soil), cosmogenic nuclides can provide important evidence for lunar surface exposure dating, cosmic ray energy spectrum analysis in the Milky Way, and research on novae and supernova explosions near the Earth and Moon.

[0004] Current methods for measuring cosmogenic nuclides rely on accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), requiring the separation and purification of nuclides from extraterrestrial samples using chemical pretreatment techniques to prepare appropriate measurement targets before testing. Among these methods, the greatest interference in accelerator mass spectrometry measurements originates from isotopes. Therefore, ensuring the effective separation of the analyte and isotopes (e.g.,...) is crucial. 10 Be and 10 B. 53 Mn and 53 Cr 60 Fe and 60 Ni (etc.) is key to improving measurement sensitivity.

[0005] However, for extraterrestrial samples (silicate samples), the existing chemical pretreatment process involves: completely dissolving the sample in acid, then separating and purifying the analyte using ion exchange, liquid-liquid extraction, and precipitation to remove interference from isotopes. The resulting solid powder target is then prepared by precipitation, mixed with an auxiliary medium, and pressed into a target cone for subsequent AMS analysis. This process is relatively complex and can only extract one or two nuclides, resulting in low utilization of extraterrestrial samples.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0093] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0094] Current methods for measuring cosmogenic nuclides rely on accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), which requires chemical pretreatment techniques to separate and purify nuclides from extraterrestrial samples and prepare corresponding measurement targets before testing. However, for extraterrestrial samples (silicate samples), the existing chemical pretreatment process involves: completely dissolving the extraterrestrial sample in acid, then separating and purifying the nuclides to be tested using ion exchange, liquid-liquid extraction, and precipitation methods to remove interference from isotopes, followed by precipitation to prepare the corresponding solid powder target, which is then mixed with an auxiliary medium and pressed into a target cone for subsequent AMS testing.

[0095] In deep space exploration, the Moon, as Earth's closest natural satellite, is an inevitable choice for humankind's exploration of the universe. The development and utilization of lunar resources is currently the primary goal of lunar exploration. Lunar regolith is the main target of lunar scientific exploration and sample return, and also the best information carrier for humankind to understand the Moon. Studying the space weathering characteristics and space exposure history of lunar regolith is key to understanding the evolution of lunar surface materials and the changes in the lunar space environment. This can provide scientific data for further assessment of the lunar space environment impacts of future international lunar research station construction and manned lunar landings, thus laying the foundation for strategic planning for lunar resource development.

[0096] Cosmogenic nuclides can form a continuous range of apparent exposure ages from centuries to nearly ten million years, thus improving the lunar surface exposure dating methodology, assessing the most recent exposure age of lunar regolith, and providing crucial time constraints for studying space weathering processes on the lunar surface during that period. Furthermore, 10 Be combination 26 Al can establish the energy spectrum characteristics of the Milky Way cosmic rays (GCR) with an average annual value of millions of years, and estimate the extent of the impact of Milky Way cosmic rays on lunar surface weathering; 26 Al can reveal the depth of micrometeorite disturbances; 41 Ca can be used to explore the relationship between the yield and depth of cosmogenic nuclides produced by thermal neutron capture; 22 Na and 60 Fe can serve as a sensitive probe for identifying novae and supernova explosions near the Earth and Moon. This demonstrates that lunar soil holds many mysteries of the solar system and the universe. 10 Be、 22 Na、 26 Al、 41 Ca, 53 Mn and 60 Fe and other substances are key elements that can unlock mysteries.

[0097] Using loess samples from Earth 10 Be and 26 Taking Al extraction experiments as an example, the current demand for loess samples from Earth is about 1 g. In contrast, the Moon, lacking a magnetic field and atmosphere for shielding, exhibits a significantly higher yield of cosmogenic nuclides in its samples, allowing us to focus on a wider range of nuclides, such as… 22 Na、 41 Ca, 53 Mn and 60 Fe, and due to the increased yield, we expect to reduce the required amount of lunar samples to 10-50 mg, but currently there is no mature system for the fine separation and purification of Fe in samples. 10 Be、 22 Na、 26 Al、41 Ca, 53 Mn and 60 The combined process for Fe; although there are existing extraction processes for long-lived nuclides in meteorite samples, the required sample volume is as high as several hundred milligrams, and the process is relatively complex, involving one extraction, one anion exchange, two cation exchanges, and one hydroxide precipitation, which is not conducive to effective background value control; in addition, the biggest interference in accelerator mass spectrometry measurements comes from isotopes, therefore, ensuring the effective separation of the analyte and isotopes (e.g. 10 Be and 10 B. 53 Mn and 53 Cr 60 Fe and 60 Ni (etc.) is key to improving measurement sensitivity.

[0098] Furthermore, lunar samples are extremely difficult and costly to obtain, and the samples are very precious. If various nuclides are extracted separately through different processes, the sample utilization rate is extremely low, making it impossible to conduct comprehensive and efficient research on the same lunar sample. Therefore, if a joint process can be established to simultaneously extract valuable nuclides from lunar samples and perform high-precision quantitative analysis, it can greatly improve the utilization efficiency of lunar samples while meeting the needs of comprehensive multi-nucleoside research.

[0099] In summary, to meet the research needs of comprehensive multi-nucleoside analysis of extraterrestrial samples, this invention first utilizes anion and cation exchange resins, selecting suitable ion exchange resins and eluents, and achieving the desired results in the analysis of extraterrestrial samples through only one anion exchange resin exchange, one cation exchange resin exchange, and one hydroxide precipitation. 10 Be、 22 Na、 26 Al、 41 Ca, 53 Mn and 60 The process involves the separation and purification of Fe nuclides. Secondly, based on the different chemical properties of each element, CaF2 precipitate, BeO, Al2O3, MnO2, and Fe2O3 are prepared using a precipitation method, while mixed sodium salt crystals are prepared using an evaporation crystallization method. The obtained CaF2 precipitate, BeO, Al2O3, MnO2, Fe2O3, and mixed sodium salt crystals are then mixed uniformly with their respective conductive media and pressed into target cones to prepare target samples that meet the requirements of AMS measurements. This enables a combined (or co-process) multi-nucleoside comprehensive analysis of the same extraterrestrial sample.

[0100] Example 1:

[0101] This embodiment provides a target preparation method based on a combined extraterrestrial sample process. See [link to documentation]. Figure 1 This includes the following steps:

[0102] Step 1: Digest the lunar sample, then remove fluorine from the digested lunar sample to obtain the first product:

[0103] Step 1.1, Digesting the lunar sample: Weigh 50 mg of the lunar sample into a digestion vessel and add 0.6 mg of... 9 Be carrier, 1mg 23 Na carrier and 1 mg 55 Mn carrier was used, and 0.2 mL of 16.5 mol / L HNO3 and 1 mL of 22.5 mol / L HF were added to the digestion vessel to obtain a mixed solution. The digestion vessel containing the mixed solution was covered and placed on a heating plate at 150°C for a first heating reaction of 5 h. After the first heating reaction was carried out, the lid was removed, and the vessel was subjected to a first evaporation treatment at 210°C for 1 h. Then, 1 mL of 22.5 mol / L HF was added, the vessel was covered, and the vessel was subjected to a second heating reaction at 150°C for 5 h. After the second heating reaction was carried out, the lid was removed, and the vessel was subjected to a second evaporation treatment at 210°C for 1 h to obtain the digested lunar sample.

[0104] Step 1.2, Fluorine Removal: Add 0.25 mL of 16.5 mol / L HNO3, 0.25 mL of ultrapure water, and 0.5 mL of HClO4 to the digested lunar sample. Remove the cap and perform a third evaporation treatment at 210 °C for 1 h. Then, dissolve the third evaporation product with 10 mol / L HCl solution. Clean the digestion vessel again with 10 mol / L HCl solution. Transfer the first dissolved product to a centrifuge tube and centrifuge at 3000 rpm for 5 min to obtain the first product. After adjusting the volume of the first product, determine the elemental content using ICP-AES (Inductively Coupled Plasma - Atomic Emission Spectroscopy).

[0105] Step 2: Based on the first product, the following eluents are obtained by separation and purification using anion exchange resin method: a mixed eluent containing Be, Al, Na and Ca, an eluent containing Mn, and an eluent containing Fe.

[0106] Equilibrate the anion exchange resin (Dowex 1-X8, Cl) with one column volume of 10 mol / L second HCl solution. -After passing through a Dow 1-X8 anion exchange resin column (chlorinated form), the first product is added to the equilibrated anion exchange resin column. After complete passage, a 10 mol / L third HCl solution is added for the first elution. A clean PFA digestion vessel (PerfluoroalkoxyAlkane Digestion Vessel) is used to collect 1.5 column volumes of mixed eluent containing Be, Al, Na, and Ca, wherein the sum of the volumes of the third HCl solution and the first product is 1.5 column volumes.

[0107] The anion exchange column after the first elution was eluted a second time by adding two column volumes of 7 mol / L fourth HCl solution, and two column volumes of Mn-containing eluent were collected in a clean PFA digestion vessel.

[0108] The anion exchange column after the second elution was eluted a third time by adding four column volumes of 0.1 mol / L HCl solution. Four column volumes of Fe-containing eluent were collected in a clean PFA digestion vessel.

[0109] In some embodiments, the sum of the volumes of the third HCl solution and the first product is 1.5 column volumes, which can be understood as follows: when using a 20 mL anion exchange column, the sum of the column volumes of the third HCl solution and the first product is 30 mL; when using an 8 mL anion exchange column, the sum of the column volumes of the third HCl solution and the first product is 12 mL; and when using a 2 mL anion exchange column, the sum of the column volumes of the third HCl solution and the first product is 3 mL.

[0110] Step 3: Based on the mixed eluent containing Be, Al, Na and Ca, the following eluents are obtained by separation and purification using cation exchange resin method: Na-containing eluent, Be-containing eluent, and mixed eluent containing Al and Ca.

[0111] After the mixed eluent containing Be, Al, Na and Ca was placed on a heating plate at 150 °C for a fourth evaporation treatment for 5 h, the product from the fourth evaporation treatment was dissolved in 1 mL of 6 mol / L HCl solution and 0.05 mL of hydrogen peroxide solution. The dissolved product was transferred to a centrifuge tube and centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 5 min to obtain the second product. The beaker was washed with 5 mL of ultrapure water, and the second product was transferred to the centrifuge tube through the washed beaker.

[0112] Equilibrate the cation exchange resin (Dowex 50W-X8, H) with one column volume of 1 mol / L HCl solution. +After passing through a hydrogen-form Dow 50W-X8 cation exchange resin column, 6 mL of the second product is added to the equilibrated cation exchange resin column. After complete passage, 1 mol / L eighth HCl solution is added for the fourth elution. Four column volumes of Na-containing eluent are collected using a clean PFA digestion vessel, wherein the sum of the volumes of the eighth HCl solution and the second product is four column volumes.

[0113] The cation exchange column after the fourth elution was eluted a fifth time by adding 5 column volumes of 1 mol / L HCl solution. 5 column volumes of Be-containing eluent were collected in a clean PFA digestion vessel.

[0114] The cation exchange column after the fifth elution was eluted by adding 5 column volumes of 1 mol / L HCl solution for the sixth elution, and the eluent was discarded. Then, 4 column volumes of 2.5 mol / L HCl solution were added for the seventh eleventh elution. 4 column volumes of mixed eluent containing Al and Ca were collected in a clean PFA digestion vessel.

[0115] In some embodiments, the sum of the volumes of the eighth HCl solution and the second product is four column volumes, which can be understood as follows: when using a 20 mL cation exchange column, the sum of the column volumes of the eighth HCl solution and the second product is 80 mL; when using an 8 mL cation exchange column, the sum of the column volumes of the eighth HCl solution and the second product is 32 mL; and when using a 2 mL cation exchange column, the sum of the column volumes of the eighth HCl solution and the second product is 8 mL.

[0116] Step 4: Based on the mixed eluent containing Al and Ca, a Ca-containing supernatant and Al(OH)3 precipitate are obtained; based on the eluent containing Be and the eluent containing Fe, Be(OH)2 precipitate and Fe(OH)3 precipitate are obtained, respectively.

The product from the fifth evaporation treatment was dissolved in 1 mL of 6 mol / L 12th HCl solution and 0.05 mL of second hydrogen peroxide for a third dissolution. The third dissolution product was then transferred to a centrifuge tube, and the pH was adjusted to 8.5 with ammonia. The centrifuge tube was placed on a vortex mixer and vortexed at 1500 rpm for 12 s. After standing for 30 min, it was centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 5 min to obtain a Ca-containing supernatant and Al(OH)3 precipitate. The Ca-containing supernatant was poured into a centrifuge tube, and the Al(OH)3 precipitate was washed 3 times with ultrapure water. The washed Al(OH)3 precipitate was kept for later use.

[0118] Step 4.2, Separation of Be and Fe elements by precipitation: The Be-containing eluent and the Fe-containing eluent were placed on a heating plate at 150 ℃ for a sixth evaporation treatment for 5 h. The two products from the sixth evaporation treatment were dissolved in 1 mL of 6 mol / L 13th HCl solution and 0.05 mL of 3rd hydrogen peroxide solution for a fourth dissolution. The two fourth dissolution products were then transferred to centrifuge tubes, and the pH was adjusted to 8.5 with ammonia. The two centrifuge tubes were then vortexed at 1500 rpm for 12 s and allowed to stand for 30 min. They were then centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 5 min. The supernatant was discarded, and the precipitates were washed three times with ultrapure water to obtain Be(OH)2 precipitate and Fe(OH)3 precipitate, respectively.

The product of the eighth evaporation treatment was dissolved in 1 mL of pure water to obtain the third product. The third product was transferred to a quartz crucible and evaporated at 100 °C for 30 min on a heating plate to allow all sodium salt crystals to precipitate. The sodium salt crystals were mixed with an equal volume of silver powder (Ag) to obtain a uniformly mixed sodium salt crystal-Ag powder. The sodium salt crystal-Ag powder was loaded into the target to obtain the sodium salt target sample required for AMS measurement.

[0122] Step 5.3, Preparation of CaF2 target sample: Add 2 mL of 16.5 mol / L HNO3 to 3 mL of Ca-containing supernatant and perform acidification reaction for 45 min. After the generation of bubbles in the acidification reaction stops, add 1 mL of 22.5 mol / L HF to obtain the fourth product. Vortex the fourth product at 1500 rpm for 12 s and let it stand for 12 h. Then, centrifuge it at 3000 rpm for 5 min to obtain the first supernatant and the first bottom precipitate. Discard the first supernatant and wash the first bottom precipitate with ultrapure water 3 times to obtain CaF2. Mix CaF2 with an equal volume of silver powder (Ag) to obtain a uniformly mixed CaF2-Ag powder. Load the CaF2-Ag powder into the target to obtain the CaF2 target sample required for AMS measurement.

[0123] Step 5.4, Preparation of MnO2 target sample: The Mn-containing eluent was subjected to the ninth evaporation treatment at 150 °C for 3 h, and then transferred to a centrifuge tube. The sixth dissolution was performed with 1 mL of 12 mol / L HCl solution. 0.8 g of sodium hydroxide was added to the sixth dissolution product. The centrifuge tube was placed on a vortex mixer and subjected to the fourth vortex treatment at 1500 rpm for 13 s. After standing for 30 min, it was placed in a centrifuge and subjected to the sixth centrifugation treatment at 3000 rpm for 5 min to obtain the second supernatant and the second bottom precipitate. The second supernatant was discarded, and the second bottom precipitate was washed three times with ultrapure water.
