Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of analysis and detection, and relates to an online detection device for the conductivity of an ion chromatography conductivity detector. Background Art

[0002] With the acceleration of industrialization and urbanization, water pollution is becoming increasingly serious, posing a huge threat to human health and the ecological environment. This has become a focus of attention from all walks of life, so water environment monitoring is necessary. At this time, ion chromatography technology has emerged. As an efficient and sensitive analytical method, this technology has significant advantages in water environment testing, soil environment testing, atmospheric environment testing, and other tasks in environmental testing, and has demonstrated an irreplaceable role in environmental quality monitoring. At this stage, ion detection technology has been vigorously promoted and widely used in the field of environmental testing and governance. In-depth research on its application methods and key points has strong practical significance.

[0003] The ion chromatograph mainly consists of an eluent system, a detection system, a chromatographic pump system, an injection system, a flow system, a separation system, a chemical suppression system, and a data processing system. The core unit of ion chromatography, the detection system, uses the electrical conductivity of ions in aqueous solution (i.e., conductivity) to detect ion concentration. In actual testing, we often encounter samples with excessively high conductivity, especially those with severe pollution and high ion concentrations such as sewage and surface water. If the sample is directly injected, the chromatographic column will be overloaded, which will greatly affect the sensitivity of the test. Therefore, the accuracy of conductivity detection is crucial. At present, the design of conductivity values ​​in domestic instruments is mostly virtual signals, and there is no effective way to control the accuracy of conductivity measurements. Utility Model Content

[0006] It also includes a temperature control module. The constant temperature standard sample room is provided with a heating module, a Peltier cooling module and a temperature sensor. The heating module, the Peltier cooling module and the temperature sensor are connected to the temperature control module.

[0007] The volume of the liquid preparation ring is greater than the full scale volume of the injection pump.

[0008] The I end of the injection pump is connected to an ultrapure water input pipeline.

[0009] The ultrapure water input pipeline is provided with a control valve.

[0010] The outlet of the standard sample bottle is connected to the corresponding opening in the N-way selection valve through an injection pipeline.

[0011] The sampling pipeline is provided with a sampling valve.

[0012] The ultrapure water input pipeline is connected to an ultrapure water storage tank.

[0013] N=10.

[0014] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] During specific operation, the online conductivity detection device of the ion chromatography conductivity detector described in the utility model is as follows: the empty interface of the N-way selection valve is connected, and the syringe pump performs micro-pumping of liquid through the E end thereof, thereby forming an isolation bubble in the reserve liquid ring; then the empty interface of the N-way selection valve is closed, and the opening corresponding to the standard sample bottle containing the solution to be measured on the N-way selection valve is connected, and then the syringe pump is used to draw the solution to be measured into the reserve liquid ring; then, the solution to be measured in the reserve liquid ring is injected into the conductivity detector by the syringe pump for detection.
