Like reference numerals in the figures denote like or similar structures, and thus their detailed description will be omitted.

[0032] Embodiment 1

[0033] As Figure 1 shown, the first embodiment of the detection device for the fire assay method of the present utility model includes a cup body 1, a cup cover 2, and a condensation reflux device 3. Among them, both the cup body 1 and the cup cover 2 can be made of glass.

[0034] The cup body 1 has an internal space 10 and an open cup mouth. The internal space 10 of the cup body 1 can hold a reaction solution such as nitric acid solution. A first flange 11 extending radially outward is provided at the cup mouth of the cup body 1.

[0035] The cup cover 2 is covered on the cup mouth. The cup cover 2 is in an arched or spherical shape, etc. A second flange 23 extending radially outward is provided at the lower end of the cup cover 2. The second flange 23 is vertically aligned with the first flange 11.

[0036] For example, the detection device of the present utility model further includes a plurality of clips (not shown in the figure). The plurality of clips are clamped on the second flange 23 and the first flange 11, so as to connect the cup cover 2 and the cup body 1 together.

[0037] Furthermore, a sealing ring can be provided between the first flange 11 and the second flange 23. For example, a sealing ring is provided on the surface of the first flange 11 facing the second flange 23; or a sealing ring is provided on the surface of the second flange 23 facing the first flange 11. Among the first flange 11 and the second flange 23, an annular groove can also be further provided on the one without the sealing ring, and the annular groove can be used to accommodate part of the sealing ring.

[0038] Of course, the above use of clips and flanges is only an example of connecting the cup cover 2 and the cup body 1 together. In some other embodiments, the cup cover 2 and the cup body 1 can also be connected together by other convenient detachable connection methods, such as snap connection, etc.; or when the weight of the cup cover 2 is heavy enough, it can also be directly covered on the cup mouth of the cup body 1 without further setting a connection structure.

[0039] A first communication pipe 21 is provided on the cup cover 2. The first communication pipe 21 can be located at the central position of the cup cover 2. The first communication pipe 21 is communicated with the internal space 10 of the cup body 1.

[0040] Optionally, a second communication pipe 22 is further provided on the cup cover 2. The second communication pipe 22 can be located at a position close to the edge of the cup cover 2. The second communication pipe 22 can be used to install a sensor, etc. For example, a thermometer 6 can be installed.

[0041] In some embodiments, a plug 25 can also be provided at the opening of the second communication pipe 22 to prevent or minimize the overflow of reaction gas from the second communication pipe 22. In the case of having the plug 25, the thermometer 6 can be inserted into the hole of the plug 25.

[0042] The condensation reflux device 3 in the present utility model is connected to the first connecting pipe 21 of the cup lid 2. The function of the condensation reflux device 3 is to cool the reaction gas generated during the detection process of the fire assay method, such as nitrogen oxide gas, and condense the reaction gas into a liquid state and reflux it into the cup body 1.

[0043] The specific structure of the condensation reflux device 3 can be various. For example, the condensation reflux device 3 includes an outer pipe 31, an inner pipe 32, a water inlet pipe 33, and a water return pipe 34. Among them, both the outer pipe 31 and the inner pipe 32 can be made of glass, and the water inlet pipe 33 and the water return pipe 34 can be made of flexible materials.

[0044] The outer pipe 31 has a closed chamber 30, a water inlet 311, a water return port 312, and a connecting pipe 313. The water inlet 311 and the water return port 312 are respectively connected to the lower end and the upper end of the closed chamber 30, and the connecting pipe 313 extends downward from the bottom end of the closed chamber 30. The connecting pipe 313 is inserted and connected to the first connecting pipe 21 of the cup lid 2 and is communicated with the internal space 10 of the cup body 1.

[0045] In some embodiments, the outer pipe 31 further includes an extension pipe 37, which extends upward from the top end of the closed chamber 30, and the condensation reflux device 3 further includes a plug 38 that can cooperate with the extension pipe 37. When the detection device for the fire assay method in the present utility model is not in use, the plug 38 can be fitted to the opening of the extension pipe 37 of the condensation reflux device 3.

[0046] The inner pipe 32 is fixed in the closed chamber 30 of the outer pipe 31, and the lower end of the inner pipe 32 extends downward and is exposed to the closed chamber 30, so that the inner pipe 32 is communicated with the internal space 10 of the cup body 1, and the upper end of the inner pipe 32 extends upward and is exposed to the closed chamber 30. The inner pipe 32 can be a spiral pipe to increase the condensation path and improve the cooling efficiency. In some other embodiments, the inner pipe 32 can also be other shapes such as a series of spherical pipes connected in series. The water inlet pipe 33 can be a flexible pipe such as a rubber pipe, etc., and the water inlet pipe 33 is connected to the water inlet 311.

[0047] The water return pipe 34 can be a flexible pipe such as a rubber pipe, etc., and the water return pipe 34 is connected to the water return port 312.

[0048] During use, the water inlet pipe 33 can be connected to the faucet of the municipal pipe network, and the water return pipe 34 can directly discharge the coolant into the sewer, etc.

[0049] In some embodiments, in order to realize the recycling of the coolant, the condensation reflux device 3 further includes a liquid storage bucket 35 and a water pump 36. The liquid storage bucket 35 is used to hold the coolant, and the volume of the liquid storage bucket 35 can be determined according to actual needs; the water pump 36 is connected to the water inlet pipe 33, and the end of the water return pipe 34 is immersed in the coolant of the liquid storage bucket 35.

[0050] The circulation path of the coolant in the liquid storage barrel 35 is as follows: The coolant is pumped into the water inlet pipe 33 by the water pump 36, then enters the sealed chamber 30 of the outer pipe 31, and then returns to the liquid storage barrel 35 through the water return pipe 34 to complete one cycle.

[0051] During use, start the water pump 36, and the coolant in the liquid storage barrel 35 enters the sealed chamber 30 of the outer pipe 31 through the water inlet pipe 33; place the sample to be tested containing gold and silver in the gold parting basket, and then place the gold parting basket into the cup body 1 containing nitric acid solution. After heating, silver in the sample to be tested reacts with nitric acid to generate silver nitrate and reaction gas such as NO. The NO gas undergoes an oxidation reaction when it encounters oxygen in the cup body, generating red-brown NO2 gas. The NO2 gas enters the inner pipe 32 of the condensation and reflux device 3 through the first communication pipe 21 in the center of the cup cover 2. In the sealed chamber 30 of the outer pipe 31, after the reaction gas in the inner pipe 32 undergoes sufficient heat exchange with the coolant, the coolant returns to the liquid storage barrel 35 through the water return pipe 34; at the same time, the temperature of the reaction gas in the inner pipe 32 decreases and becomes liquid NO2, which refluxes into the cup body 1 and mixes with the reaction solution, that is, the nitric acid solution.

[0052] The detection device for the fire assay method of the present utility model consists of a cup body 1 and a cup cover 2 to form a relatively sealed container. The detection device is also provided with a condensation and reflux device 3 communicated with the internal space 10 of the cup body 1. During the detection process of the fire assay method, nitric acid reacts with silver under heating conditions to generate a large amount of NO gas. The NO gas undergoes an oxidation reaction when it encounters oxygen in the cup body, generating red-brown NO2 gas. The NO2 gas can rise along the inner pipe 32 and become liquid NO2 after condensation and reflux into the cup body 1. Therefore, when using the detection device for the fire assay method of the present utility model, the emission of harmful gases such as nitrogen oxides can be effectively reduced; at the same time, after the nitric acid solution reacts with silver, the acidity of the nitric acid solution decreases. At this time, the liquid NO2 refluxing into the cup body reacts with water to generate hydrogen ions and nitrate ions, which can effectively enhance the acidity of the nitric acid solution and enable the nitric acid solution to be recycled. This not only helps to reduce the emission of waste acid liquid but also saves the consumption of nitric acid in the fire assay method, achieving the effects of energy conservation, emission reduction, and environmental protection.

[0053] Embodiment 2

[0054] As Figure 2 shown, the second embodiment of the detection device for the fire assay method of the present utility model is different from the first embodiment in that: the cup cover 2 is conical. The conical cup cover 2 makes the reaction gas generated in the cup body 1 more likely to be concentrated in the first communication pipe 21 in the center of the cup cover 2, so as to enter the condensation and reflux device 3 more quickly, which is beneficial to improving the condensation efficiency.
