Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of chemical detection technology, and in particular to a method for quantitative elemental detection of sodium pyroantimonate products. Background Technology
[0002] Sodium pyroantimonate is an inorganic antimony compound, commonly represented by the molecular formula NaSb(OH)6. It is a safe, stable, and easily processed carrier for antimony. Antimony plays a specific role in many industrial processes, such as clarification in the glass and ceramics industry and catalysis in the production of polyethylene terephthalate. Directly using metallic antimony or other antimony compounds is neither safe nor convenient; sodium pyroantimonate, in its stable salt form, allows for the safe and uniform addition of antimony to various materials.
[0003] In actual industrial production of sodium pyroantimonate, due to the influence of raw material sources and production processes, it is almost impossible for sodium pyroantimonate to achieve 100% purity. It usually contains some impurity elements, such as arsenic, lead, iron, and sodium. The content of these elements directly affects the grade and application fields of sodium pyroantimonate products, thus necessitating elemental analysis. Current technologies for the detection of sodium pyroantimonate generally employ chemical analysis methods. Total antimony content is determined using a cerium sulfate standard titration solution, and iron content is determined using an o-phenanthroline spectrophotometric method. The detection of other elements is time-consuming and complex, requiring nearly two days to complete the overall analysis. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a rapid and accurate method for the quantitative detection of elements in sodium pyroantimonate products. Summary of the Invention

[0022] This invention proposes a method for quantitative elemental detection of sodium pyroantimonate products, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the steps include: S1. Provide standard products, which include antimony, iron, sodium, lead and arsenic elements; S2. The standard samples were analyzed by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy to obtain standard curves for antimony, iron, sodium, lead and argon. S3. The sodium pyroantimonate product was tested by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, and the contents of antimony, iron, sodium, lead and arsenic in the sodium pyroantimonate product were determined according to the standard curve.
[0023] The technical solution of this invention uses known standard substances and employs a weight ratio method to calculate the corresponding concentration or proportion. Then, it uses X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy to establish a standard curve. Based on the established standard curve, it uses X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy to detect sodium pyroantimonate products, thereby achieving simultaneous, rapid, and accurate quantitative detection of different elements in sodium pyroantimonate products. Compared with existing chemical analysis methods, the required time is significantly reduced.
[0024] In some implementations, the standards include antimony trioxide (Sb₂O₃), ferric oxide (Fe₂O₃), sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃), lead oxide (PbO), and arsenic trioxide (As₂O₃).
[0025] Antimony trioxide, ferric oxide, sodium carbonate, lead oxide, and arsenic trioxide are all materials with high stability, high cost-effectiveness, and easy availability, making them low-cost standards for quantitative elemental detection.
[0026] In some embodiments, the standard, by mass percentage, includes 57.5%–61.2% antimony trioxide, 0.005%–0.12% ferric oxide, 20.2%–22.2% sodium carbonate, 0.02%–1.8% lead oxide, and 0.01%–1.5% arsenic trioxide. For example, the antimony trioxide content in the standard is 57.5%, 58%, 58.5%, 59%, 59.5%, 60%, 60.5%, 61%, or 61.2%, etc. The ferric oxide content is 0.005%, 0.01%, 0.015%, 0.02%, 0.025%, 0.05%, 0.1%, or 0.12%, etc. The sodium carbonate content is 20.2%, 20.5%, 20.7%, 21%, 21.5%, 22%, or 22.2%, etc. The lead oxide content is 0.02%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, or 1.8%, etc. The arsenic trioxide content is 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, or 1.5%, etc.
[0027] The raw materials used are within the above-mentioned mass percentage range and have contents of antimony, iron, sodium, lead, and arsenic in sodium pyroantimonate products. Therefore, a standard curve for detecting sodium pyroantimonate products can be obtained with a smaller amount of standard products.
[0028] In some implementations, the standard also includes boric acid (H3BO3). Adding boric acid to the standard primarily serves as a binder; moreover, boric acid is a colorless and transparent substance, ensuring that the various components in the standard are bound together as a whole without affecting the detection results of X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy.
[0029] In some embodiments, the standard comprises 17.23% to 17.98% boric acid by mass percentage. For example, the boric acid content in the standard is 17.23%, 17.35%, 17.54%, 17.76%, 17.8%, 17.82%, 17.83%, 17.85%, 17.86%, 17.87%, 17.88%, 17.9%, or 17.98%, etc.
[0030] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the standard product includes a first sub-standard product, a second sub-standard product, a third sub-standard product, a fourth sub-standard product, a fifth sub-standard product, a sixth sub-standard product, a seventh sub-standard product, an eighth sub-standard product, and a ninth sub-standard product.
[0031] Specifically, by mass percentage, the first sub-standard comprises 57.5% antimony trioxide, 0.005% ferric oxide, 21.9% sodium carbonate, 1.8% lead oxide, 1% arsenic trioxide, and 17.795% boric acid; The second sub-standard includes 57.8% antimony trioxide, 0.1% ferric oxide, 21.1% sodium carbonate, 1.6% lead oxide, 1.5% arsenic trioxide, and 17.9% boric acid; The third sub-standard includes 58% antimony trioxide, 0.06% ferric oxide, 22% sodium carbonate, 0.8% lead oxide, 1.28% arsenic trioxide, and 17.86% boric acid. The fourth sub-standard includes 58.9% antimony trioxide, 0.09% ferric oxide, 22.2% sodium carbonate, 0.1% lead oxide, 0.81% arsenic trioxide, and 17.9% boric acid; The fifth sub-standard includes 59.5% antimony trioxide, 0.12% ferric oxide, 21.5% sodium carbonate, 0.6% lead oxide, 0.4% arsenic trioxide, and 17.88% boric acid; The sixth sub-standard includes 60.7% antimony trioxide, 0.008% ferric oxide, 21.3% sodium carbonate, 0.012% lead oxide, 0.1% arsenic trioxide, and 17.88% boric acid; The seventh sub-standard includes 60.8% antimony trioxide, 0.04% ferric oxide, 20.7% sodium carbonate, 0.6% lead oxide, 0.04% arsenic trioxide, and 17.82% boric acid; The eighth sub-standard includes 61.2% antimony trioxide, 0.01% ferric oxide, 21% sodium carbonate, 0.02% lead oxide, 0.01% arsenic trioxide, and 17.76% boric acid; The ninth sub-standard includes 61.2% antimony trioxide, 0.02% ferric oxide, 20.2% sodium carbonate, 0.3% lead oxide, 0.4% arsenic trioxide, and 17.88% boric acid.
[0032] In some embodiments, in step S1, the standard is prepared by a powder compression method. Specifically, the method for preparing the standard includes the following steps: S11, Provide plastic rings; S12. Weigh a certain amount of standard sample in a plastic ring; S13. Place the plastic ring on a press for tableting.
[0033] The diameter of the plastic ring is 40 mm.
[0034] In some implementations, the particle size of the standard sample is less than 0.1 mm. If the particle size of the standard sample is large, it can be ground. The grinding method can be ball milling, etc., and is not limited here.
[0035] In some embodiments, the tableting pressure is 20-40 tons (t). The unit of pressure for tableting is tons of force (tonnf). For example, the tableting pressure may be 20 t, 25 t, 30 t, 35 t, or 40 t. The holding time for tableting is 10-30 seconds. For example, the holding time may be 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 20 seconds, 25 seconds, or 30 seconds.
[0036] The following specific examples will provide further details.
[0037] Example 1 (1) Select the standard samples shown in Table 1.
[0038] Table 1. Composition of Standard Products
[0039] (2) Weigh different amounts of standard raw materials (particle size less than 0.1 mm) according to Table 2 below to prepare the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth sub-standards. The total amount is 6.2 g. Place the weighed standard raw materials in a plastic ring with a diameter of 40 mm, and then use a tablet press to perform tableting, wherein the tableting pressure is 30 t and the holding time is 30 s.

[0041] (3) All prepared sub-standards were tested using an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, and a standard curve was plotted, such as... Figure 2 As shown.
[0042] (4) Provide 6 sodium pyroantimonate products to be tested (samples 1-5). Use the X-ray fluorescence spectrometer in (3) to test the 6 sodium pyroantimonate products to be tested, and calculate the content of each element (antimony, iron, sodium, lead, arsenic) in the sodium pyroantimonate products to be tested according to the standard curve obtained in (3).
[0043] (5) The sodium pyroantimonate product to be tested shall be chemically analyzed and tested using the international testing method (YS / T22-2010).
[0044] (6) The element content detected by the element quantitative detection method of sodium pyroantimonate product provided in the embodiment of the present invention in (4) is compared with the element content detected by the international detection method in (5), as shown in Table 3.
[0045] Table 3 Comparison of element content in the samples to be tested
[0046] As can be seen from Table 3, the elemental quantitative detection method for sodium pyroantimonate products in this embodiment of the invention can accurately detect the content of antimony, iron, sodium, lead and arsenic in the six samples, and its detection accuracy is not lower than that of the detection method in YS / T22-2010.
[0047] In summary, the technical solution of this invention uses known standard substances and a weight ratio method to calculate the corresponding concentration or proportion. A standard curve is established using X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy analysis. Based on the established standard curve, the sodium pyroantimonate product is detected using X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy analysis.
