Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to rapid detection of environment, in particular to a portable electrothermal evaporation-cold atomic absorption mercury detection system. Background Art
[0002] Mercury is a heavy metal that is highly toxic and widely present in the atmosphere, soil, and food. It easily accumulates in the human body and seriously endangers people's health. It is one of the heavy metal elements currently under key detection.
[0003] Instrumental methods for mercury detection include cold atomic absorption spectrometry, hydride generation-atomic absorption spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, and hydride generation-atomic fluorescence spectrometry. Cold atomic absorption spectrometry can measure the overall mercury content in soil and sediments with a good detection limit. It requires no sample pretreatment and can be directly injected, resulting in high sample detection efficiency, making it widely used.
[0004] The cold atomic absorption spectrometry process includes: introducing the sample into a combustion catalytic furnace, drying, thermal decomposition and catalytic reaction, various forms of mercury are reduced to elemental mercury, and the elemental mercury enters the amalgamation tube to form gold amalgam. The amalgamation tube is rapidly heated to release the mercury in the gold amalgam in the form of vapor. The mercury vapor is carried into the cold atomic absorption spectrophotometer by the carrier gas, and the mercury concentration is calculated based on the degree of attenuation of the light intensity at the characteristic wavelength using the property of mercury vapor to absorb the characteristic spectral line of 253.7nm.
[0005] At present, most of the existing cold atomic absorption mercury measuring instruments do not have the pre-drying function, are large in size, and are not easy to move. That is, samples can only be tested in the laboratory and require an external electronic balance, resulting in the inability to conduct tests in time after on-site sampling. The interval between tests in the laboratory is long, which is prone to errors and cannot meet the needs of on-site sampling and on-site testing. Utility Model Content
