熔融制样-X射线荧光光谱法同时测定超基性岩及铬铁矿中14种主次量元素

Determination of 14 Major and Minor Elements in Ultrabasic Rocks and Chromite Samples by X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry with Fusion Sampling

  • 摘要: 超基性岩与铬铁矿在成因上紧密共生,实际样品常呈过渡带混合产出,常规采样过程中难以准确区分。传统分析方法多依赖容量法、比色法、原子吸收光谱法等常规化学分析手段,流程繁琐、无法多元素同时测定、分析效率较低。电感耦合等离子体发射光谱(ICP-OES)、X射线荧光光谱(XRF)等分析方法也多针对单一样品类型设计,且难以兼顾二者同时测定,实际检测中易因样品类型差异导致结果偏差和降低检测效率的问题,不利于批量样品的检测。本文建立了熔融制样-波长色散XRF法同时测定超基性岩及铬铁矿样品中Cr、Si、Al、Fe、Ca、Mg、Ti、P、Mn、Na、K、V、Co、Ni等14种主次量元素的分析方法。以四硼酸锂-偏硼酸锂-氟化锂(质量比65∶25∶10)为混合熔剂,溴化铵溶液为脱模剂,硝酸锂为氧化剂,样品与熔剂稀释比为1∶35,于1100℃熔融制备玻璃熔片。针对Cr元素含量跨度大的特点,构建了低含量与高含量双通道分段校准曲线。采用经验系数法校正元素间吸收-增强效应,结合康普顿散射内标法及谱线重叠干扰校正,有效克服了复杂基体的影响。各组分方法检出限为0.002% ~ 0.052%,相对误差(RE)为−0.04% ~ 3.16%,相对标准偏差(RSD)为0.23% ~ 4.61%,均满足DZ/T 0130—2006要求。应用本方法分析新疆萨尔托海矿区实际样品,测定结果与化学法基本吻合。本方法通过一次制样即可同时完成超基性岩与铬铁矿样品中主次量元素的快速、准确测定,显著提高了分析效率,适用于大批量地质勘查样品的同步检测。

     

    Abstract: Ultrabasic rocks and chromite ores are closely associated in genesis, and actual samples are often intermingled within transitional zones, making accurate differentiation difficult during routine sampling. Traditional analytical methods mostly rely on conventional chemical analysis techniques such as volumetric analysis, colorimetry, and atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), which involve cumbersome procedures, inability to perform simultaneous multi-element determination, and low analytical efficiency. Analytical methods such as inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) are also mostly designed for a single sample type, making it difficult to simultaneously accommodate both types. In practical testing, differences in sample type readily lead to biased results and reduced detection efficiency, which is unfavorable for batch sample analysis. This paper establishes an analytical method for the simultaneous determination of 14 major and minor elements (Cr, Si, Al, Fe, Ca, Mg, Ti, P, Mn, Na, K, V, Co, Ni) in ultrabasic rock and chromite ore samples by fusion sample preparation combined with wavelength-dispersive XRF. A mixed flux of lithium tetraborate, lithium metaborate, and lithium fluoride (mass ratio 65:25:10) was used, with ammonium bromide solution as the release agent, lithium nitrate as the oxidant, and a sample-to-flux dilution ratio of 1:35. The glass fusion beads were prepared at 1100℃. To address the wide concentration range of Cr, dual-channel segmented calibration curves (low-content and high-content) were constructed. The empirical coefficient method was used to correct inter-element absorption-enhancement effects, combined with the Compton scattering internal standard method and spectral line overlap interference correction, effectively overcoming the influence of the complex matrix. The method detection limits for each component ranged from 0.002% to 0.052%, the relative errors (RE) were −0.04% to 3.16%, and the relative standard deviations (RSD) were 0.23% to 4.61%, all meeting the requirements of DZ/T 0130—2006. The method was applied to the analysis of actual samples from the Sartuohai mining area in Xinjiang, and the results were in good agreement with those obtained by chemical methods. With a single preparation, this method enables the rapid and accurate simultaneous determination of major and minor elements in both ultrabasic rock and chromite ore samples, significantly improving analytical efficiency and making it suitable for the simultaneous batch analysis of large-scale geological exploration samples.
