[0020] Both the conical tungsten rod electrode and the hollow copper tube are wound with copper coil one and copper coil two on their outer sides.
[0021] The gas phase discharge pipe is connected to the hollow copper pipe;
[0022] The power supply, regulator, and switch are connected in series, and copper coil one and copper coil two are connected in parallel to the regulator.
[0023] Furthermore, the regulator is a high-voltage pulse reaction block.
[0024] Furthermore, it also includes a mounting base, which, from top to bottom, comprises an upper mounting platform, a middle mounting platform, and a lower mounting platform; wherein,

[0031] Based on the above technical solution, the embodiments of this utility model can produce at least the following technical effects:
[0032] (1) SO3 in portable environmental water samples provided by this utility model 2- / S 2- This speciation analysis device effectively combines a chemical vapor generation component, a micro-plasma reactor, and a visual colorimetric detector.

[0033] (2) SO3 in portable environmental water samples provided by this utility model 2- / S 2-This speciation analysis device eliminates the need for complex and time-consuming chromatographic separation processes, representing a non-chromatographic on-site analytical method. During detection, the sample enters the reaction vessel of the chemical vapor generation unit. An acid is injected to react with the sample, generating gaseous analytes (H2S and / or SO2). Argon gas carries the gaseous analytes into a micro-plasma reactor, where the H2S is oxidized to SO2. The original SO2 in the gaseous analytes does not react. Therefore, the SO2 generated from the oxidation of H2S and the original SO2 in the gaseous analytes enters a visual colorimetric detector together. The SO2 reacts with a fluorescein derivative, causing a fading reaction. By observing the color of the fluorescein derivative after the fading reaction and comparing it with a visual colorimetric image, the sulfur content in the sample can be determined. In this invention, the fluorescein derivative is used as a selective gaseous absorbent for SO2. The chemical adsorption of SO2 onto the fluorescein derivative is mainly based on the strong interaction between anions, and further reacts with the negative oxygen ions in the phenoxy molecules to generate a colorless product. SO2 causes the fluorescein derivative to gradually fade from yellow, while H2S does not react with it to change its color. However, H2S treated in the micro-plasma chamber, having been converted into SO2, can cause the fluorescein derivative to undergo a fading reaction, with the fading reaction time being 40 seconds. Therefore, by causing the fluorescein derivative in the transparent colorimetric reaction chamber to undergo a fading reaction with SO2, SO3 can be absorbed. 2- / S 2- On-site morphological analysis. This invention introduces the sample through chemical vapor generation, effectively avoiding matrix interference from liquid samples and improving detection accuracy. The detection limit of this method is 6.22 μmol·L⁻¹. -1 60 μmol·L⁻¹ can be distinguished by the naked eye -1 The method has been successfully applied to visual colorimetric analysis of field water samples and has shown its potential for field analysis of various environmental samples.

Quantitative speciation analysis of H2S / SO2 is achieved through precise measurement using a double-beam UV-Vis spectrophotometer (Shanghai Youke Instrument Co., Ltd., model: T2602, Shanghai, China).
[0098] 2.2.2 Screening process and results:
[0099] 2.2.2.1 Using the concentration of fluorescein derivative 22 as the variable, the concentration of fluorescein derivative 22 was 40-140 μmol·L. -1 SO3 2- and S 2- The concentrations were all 150 μmol·L. -1 The reaction time was 30 seconds; the acid was sulfuric acid; and the acid concentration was 4 mol / L. -1 The argon flow rate is 200 mL / min. -1 The gap for micro-plasma discharge is 4 mm.
[0100] Concentration of fluorescein derivative 22: 40 μmol·L⁻¹ -1 60 μmol·L -1 80 μmol·L -1 100 μmol·L -1 120 μmol·L -1 140 μmol·L -1 The experiments were conducted at these six concentrations respectively.
[0101] Experimental results: such as Figure 9 As shown, with the increase of fluorescein concentration, the change in absorbance gradually increases, and the solution color gradually becomes lighter. When the fluorescein concentration is 100 μmol·L⁻¹, the change in absorbance gradually increases. -1 At this time, the absorbance change value tends to stabilize, and the solution color tends to stabilize. Therefore, the final concentration of fluorescein derivative 22 was selected as 100 μmol·L⁻¹. -1 .
[0102] 2.2.2.2 The decolorization reaction time of fluorescein derivative 22 with SO2 was used as a variable, with a reaction time ranging from 10 to 60 seconds. SO3 2- and S 2- The concentrations were all 150 μmol·L. -1 The concentration of fluorescein derivative 22 was 100 μmol·L⁻¹. -1 The acid is sulfuric acid; the concentration of the acid is 4 mol / L. -1 The gas flow rate is 200 mL / min. -1 The gap for micro-plasma discharge is 4 mm.
[0103] Reaction time: Experiments were conducted at six different times: 10s, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s.
[0104] Experimental results: such as Figure 10 As shown, the inflection points of the SO2 and H2S curves occur at 40s and 20s, respectively. Therefore, a reaction time of 40s was ultimately chosen.
[0105] 2.2.2.3 Using the type of acid as the variable, the types of acids are sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, formic acid, and acetic acid. SO3 2- and S 2- The concentrations were all 150 μmol·L. -1 The concentration of fluorescein derivative 22 was 100 μmol·L⁻¹. -1 The reaction time was 40 seconds; the acid concentration was 4 mol / L. -1 The flow rate of argon gas is 100 mL / min. -1 The gap for micro-plasma discharge is 4 mm.
[0106] Types of acids: Six acids were selected for the experiment: sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, formic acid, and acetic acid.
[0107] Experimental results: such as Figure 11 As shown, HCOOH, CH3COOH, HCl, and HNO3 are all strong volatile acids that would affect gas absorption, while H3PO4 is a moderately strong acid, less acidic than H2SO4. Therefore, sulfuric acid was ultimately chosen as the acid.
[0108] 2.2.2.4 The concentration of acid is a variable, ranging from 1 to 6 mol / L. -1 SO3 2- and S 2- The concentrations were all 150 μmol·L. -1 The concentration of fluorescein derivative 22 was 100 μmol·L⁻¹. -1 The reaction time was 40 seconds; the acid was sulfuric acid; and the argon gas flow rate was 100 mL / min. -1 The gap for micro-plasma discharge is 4 mm.
[0109] Acid concentration: 1 mol / L -1 2 mol L -1 3 mol L -1 4 mol L -1 5 mol L -1 6 mol L -1 The experiments were conducted at these six concentrations respectively.
[0110] Experimental results: such as Figure 12 As shown, because low concentrations of H2SO4 cannot satisfy S 2- or SO3 2- Sufficient acidification is necessary, but excessive H2SO4 would waste reagents. Therefore, a sulfuric acid concentration of 4 mol / L was ultimately chosen. -1 .
[0111] 2.2.2.5 Taking the argon gas flow rate as a variable, the argon gas flow rate is 10-300 mL·min. -1 SO3 2- and S 2- The concentrations were all 150 μmol·L. -1 The concentration of fluorescein derivative 22 was 100 μmol·L⁻¹. -1 The reaction time was 40 seconds; the acid was sulfuric acid; and the sulfuric acid concentration was 4 mol / L. -1 The gap for micro-plasma discharge is 4 mm.
[0112] Argon flow rate: 10 mL / min -1 50 mL·min -1 100 mL·min -1 150 mL·min -1 200 mL·min -1 250 mL·min -1 300mL·min -1 The experiments were conducted at each of the seven flow rates.
[0113] Experimental results: such as Figure 13The argon flow rate had almost no effect on SO2 absorption, likely because the absorption of SO2 by fluorescein derivative 22 is instantaneous.
