密闭酸溶-电感耦合等离子体串联质谱同时测定岩石和水系沉积物中的磷硫硒

Determination of Phosphorus, Sulfur and Selenium in Rock and Sediment by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS/MS) with Sealed Acid Digestion

  • 摘要: 在岩石和水系沉积物的地球化学分析中,磷(P)、硫(S)、硒(Se)是重要的示踪元素,分别对成岩成矿过程、氧化还原环境及生态毒性评价具有指示意义。然而,由于其特殊物理化学性质以及样品基体复杂,采用单一方法难以实现这三种元素的同时测定,往往需要多种分析技术组合测定,导致样品前处理流程冗长、操作繁琐。本文采用硝酸-氢氟酸混合酸体系,在185℃下对样品密闭消解24 h,结合串联质谱技术,以氧气(O2)为反应气,通过质量转移(31P+47PO+32S+48SO+80Se+96SeO+)有效消除多原子离子质谱干扰,在优化条件下建立了电感耦合等离子体串联质谱(ICP-MS/MS)同时测定岩石和水系沉积物中P、S、Se含量的分析方法。结果表明,P元素在0 ~ 500 μg/L范围内, S、Se元素在0 ~ 200 μg/L范围内线性良好,相关系数均大于0.9999;方法检出限为 0.16 μg/g (P)、1.64 μg/g (S)和0.004 μg/g (Se)。采用本方法分析国家一级岩石及水系沉积物标准物质,测定结果与标准值吻合,加标回收率为95.0% ~ 115.0%。本方法操作简便,结果准确可靠,为地质样品中P、S、Se的高通量分析提供了新的解决方案。

     

    Abstract: In the geochemical analysis of rocks and stream sediments, phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), and selenium (Se) are important tracer elements, providing critical insights into diagenetic and metallogenic processes, redox conditions and ecotoxicity assessment, respectively. The unique physical and chemical properties of these three elements as well as the complex matrix of the samples, make their simultaneous determination using a single method is challenging. Typically, multiple analytical techniques must be combined, which results in a lengthy sample pretreatment process and cumbersome operation. In this work, a mixed acid system of nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid was used for sample digestion under sealed conditions at 185℃ for 24 h, followed by determination using inductively coupled plasma-tandem mass spectrometry (ICP-MS/MS). In tandem mass spectrometry mode, oxygen (O2) was selected as the reaction gas to convert 31P+ to 47PO+, 32S+ to 48SO+, and 80Se+ to 96SeO+, effectively eliminating polyatomic ion interferences. The results indicated that P element exhibited excellent linearity within the range of 0–500 μg/L, while S and Se showed excellent linearity within 0–200 μg/L, with correlation coefficients greater than 0.9999. The detection limits were 0.16 μg/g (P), 1.64 μg/g (S), and 0.004 μg/g (Se). The accuracy and reliability of the method were validated by analyzing certified reference materials (CRMs) for rock and stream sediments. This validation confirmed good agreement between the measured and certified values, and spiked recoveries ranged from 95.0% to 115.0%. This method is simple to operate yields accurate and reliable results, and provides a new solution for the high-throughput analysis of P, S, and Se in geological samples.
