摘要: 铋黄铜具有很好的机械加工性能且更为环保, 具有广泛的应用. 本文采用高重复频率激光剥离-火花诱导击穿光谱技术来实现铋黄铜中微量元素的快速和高灵敏分析. 实验采用小型化光纤激光器作为剥离光源, 采用小型化光纤光谱仪采集光谱, 对铋黄铜中的铋、铅和锡三元素开展了定量分析. 实验确定等离子体的温度和电子密度分别为7962 ± 300 K 和1.049 × 10–17 cm–3. 在该条件下建立了铋、铅和锡三元素的校正曲线, 并得到了较好的拟合优度. 现有条件下三元素的检测限分别达到了25.5 × 10–6, 64.2 × 10–6和316.5 × 10–6. 其中锡的检出限较高, 与锡的原子谱线强度较弱有关. 结果表明, 采用小型化的高重复频率激光剥离-火花诱导击穿光谱仪可以实现对铋黄铜中微量元素的便捷和高灵敏分析.Abstract: Bismuth brass has very good mechanical properties and is friendly to environment. Therefore, it can be widely used in different fields. In order to realize the convenient, rapid and sensitive elemental analysis of trace elements in bismuth brass, fiber laser based high repetition rate laser-ablation spark-induced breakdown spectroscopy (HRR LA-SIBS) is developed. In the experiments, a compact fiber laser operated at 5 kHz pulse repetition rate is used to ablate the sample and produce plasma, and the spark discharge is used to further break down the ablated sample and enhance the plasma emission for sensitive elemental analysis. A compact fiber-optic spectrometer coupled with non-intensified charge-coupled device (CCD) is used to record the spectra. Bismuth, lead and tin in several bismuth brass standard samples are quantitatively analyzed. The plasma temperature is determined to be about 7962 ± 300 K by using the Boltzmann plots of copper, zinc and tin elements; the electron density is determined to be about 1.049 × 10–17 cm–3 based on the Stark broadening of Cu (I) 510.47 nm analytical line. The plasma is determined to be in local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) state according to McWhirter criterion as well as appended criteria for transient plasma. Under the present experimental condition, the calibration curves of bismuth, lead and tin in bismuth brass are built with fitting goodness of higher than 95%. The detection limits of bismuth, lead and tin are determined to be 25.5 ppm, 64.2 ppm and 316.5 ppm, respectively. The weak transition probability of tin atoms leads to worse detection limit of tin than the scenarios of bismuth and lead. The ways to further improve the analytical sensitivity and minimize system dimensions are discussed in this article. It is demonstrated that high repetition rate laser-ablation spark-induced breakdown spectrometer based on compact fiber laser as well as compact fiber-optic spectrometer can be used to realize the convenient, rapid and sensitive elemental analysis of trace elements in bismuth brass. This study is also helpful in analyzing the trace harmful elements, including bismuth, lead and tin in high temperature alloys with HRR LA-SIBS. In comparison with laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), the HRR LA-SIBS technique has several intrinsic advantages, such as fast spectral data collection speed, cost-effective system and low continuum background and so on. This technique is very useful in implementing the elemental analysis of different alloy samples and can be potentially used in metallurgical industry in the future.
