Analysis, but their instruments and operating cost are higher, are difficult to bear in some developing countries and regions.Further, since GC and original
Sub-light spectrum combination needs long transmission line and complicated heating and temperature controlling device, and analyte condensation is adhered to tube wall and causes serious note
Recall effect, background with higher.Although these disadvantages can partially be overcome by shortening transmission line, commercial atomic spectrograph
Big size is still the unlimited obstacle for shortening delivery tube.Therefore, exploitation miniaturization, inexpensively, low energy consumption and low gas consumption
The atomic spectrograph of expense and to be used as GC detector further to overcome disadvantages mentioned above be attractive.

Point discharge (PD), solution cathode glow discharging (SCGD), liquid electrode plasma (LEP) etc..With usual plasma
If ICP is compared with MIP, microplasma has more compact and simpler appliance arrangement, lower gas and energy consumption,
It is convenient to operate, and can be used for constructing field analysis portable instrument.Therefore, microplasma OES can be used as AAS/AFS/ICP-OES/
ICP-MS, which is potentially substituted, is used as GC detector, it can as close possible to GC chromatographic column outlet, to improve sensitivity,
Analyte is reduced to the maximum extent to lose and reduce power consumption.Recently, DBD-OES is used successfully as multichannel and element is special
Property GC detector, determines halogenated hydrocarbons, volatility carbon compound and mercury shape.DBD-OES system is significant reduce instrument and
Analysis cost, the shortcomings that alleviating traditional GC detector based on atomic spectrograph.
Point discharge is another nonequilibrium state microplasma, it can also be generated under room temperature and atmospheric pressure
And it maintains.Compared with DBD, PD has higher excitation energy, can be significantly expanded and directly survey suitable for microplasma OES
Fixed element species range.In addition, being mentioned when PD is used as the substitute of DBD by the sensitivity that micro- plasma OES measures carbon
It is at least 10 times high.Sensitivity can be improved as GC detector in PD, because its volume is much smaller than DBD, PD being capable of maximum limit
Reduce dead volume and dead time in degree ground.Therefore, the present invention is used using PD-OES as a kind of powerful and compact GC detector
In the morphological analysis of highly sensitive mercury.In order to further increase sensitivity, simplifying sample pre-treatments and reduce matrix interference, adopt
Use headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) as the sampling technique of GC-PD-OES.

Argon gas.Mercury object is excited in PD microplasma, selects the mercury characteristic emission spectral line of 253.65nm as detection wave
It is long.
The present apparatus is used for the feasibility of mercury morphological analysis:
Because this be established for the first time using point discharge low temperature microplasma as excitaton source it is a kind of simple, compact, sensitive
Degree height and the small novel gas chromatographic detector of dead volume have been preliminary experiment verifying GC-PD-OES for mercury morphological analysis first
Feasibility, wherein GC is gas chromatograph, and PD is point discharge device, and OES is atomic emission spectrum.In order to assess its
Performance compares it with GC-DBD-OES, and wherein DBD is dielectric barrier discharge.Two kinds of systems determine 10 milliliters respectively
30ugL-1Inorganic mercury standard solution, as a result as shown in Fig. 5 a and 5b.In addition to strong OH (283,309, and 319nm), N2(316,
358 and 380nm) and NH (337nm) molecular emission peak, standard solution signal subtracted the net signal that argon gas background signal obtains
Show that the characteristic emission line 253.65nm of mercury under two kinds of systems can be distinguished obviously.Unlike, GC-PD-OES is also
It can significantly observe another emission lines of the mercury at 365.01nm.These results not only prove that GC-PD-OES measures mercury

Under GC-DBD-OES system, methyl mercury and inorganic mercury all can't see apparent signal peak, and even if methyl mercury and inorganic mercury concentration
As low as 2ugL-1GC-PD-OES has apparent peak.The signal peak peak area and concentration that mercury compound generates under different systems
Canonical plotting such as Fig. 6 b, shown in 6c, the linearly dependent coefficient of all graticules is all larger than 0.97 as the result is shown.Meanwhile with GC-
DBD-OES is compared, and methyl mercury and inorganic mercury sensitivity enhance 17 and 6 times respectively under GC-PD-OES system.It is worth mentioning
It is that since tungsten bar electrode hardness is high, fusing point is high, is not lost in whole experiment process, and the service life is long, it can long-time stable use.
Above-mentioned analysis the result shows that, PD-OES is a kind of stronger gas chromatography detector, have be able to carry out mercury shape in complicated substrate
The feasibility and practicability of state analysis.
Influence of the point discharge condition to mercury morphological analysis sensitivity is investigated in this experiment.Including discharge gas argon gas flow velocity,
Discharge voltage and electrode distance.Select argon gas flow velocity per minute for 60 milliliters respectively, discharge voltage 2.9kV, electrode spacing
From experiment after being carried out for 3mm as optimum condition.As shown in Figure 7.We test GC-PD-OES's at optimum conditions
Analyze performance.The typical chromatogram and graticule figure of various concentration standard solution are as shown in Figure 8.The range of linearity of methyl mercury is
0.2~40ugL-1, the range of linearity of inorganic mercury is 0.05~40 ugL-1.The graticule linearly dependent coefficient of methyl mercury and inorganic mercury
It is all larger than 0.99.The detection of methyl mercury and inorganic mercury is limited to 0.010ugL-1And 0.0035ugL-1.Meanwhile we investigate
The precision of GC-PD-OES with GC-DBD-OES difference system determines 5 10 ugL respectively-1The standard solution of concentration calculates
Their relative standard deviation.As a result as shown in figure 9, wherein the relative standard of GC-PD-OES system methyl mercury and inorganic mercury is inclined
Poor RSD is respectively 3.5% and 1.7%, and the relative standard deviation RSD of GC-PD-OES system methyl mercury and inorganic mercury distinguishes
For 4.0% and 16.5%.
