Basis of the scheme

According to SH/T 0749-2004 lubricating oil and additives content determination method of added elements(Inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry)，determination of metal element content in lubricating oil：one is to select the center tube of 1.2mm diameter to ensure the stability of plasma; The second is to introduce oxygen to prevent organic matter from forming carbon deposition in the central pipe and blocking the pipe.

The experimental parameters are as follows:The sample flow1.0 mL/ min,Plasma argon flow rate15 mL/ min,Auxiliary gas flow rate0.8 ml/ min,Flow rate of atomizer0.55 mL/ min,The oxygen flow rate30 mL/ min,power1500 W,Axial observation mode,Observation distance15.0 um,Repeated measurement2次

Methods the profile

The samples were pretreated with hydrogen peroxide and nitric acid to form acidic aqueous solution, and the element content in the sample solution was determined by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer (ICP-AES)

Meaning and Use

Calcium, zinc, magnesium, sulfur, phosphorus, barium, boron, lithium, cobalt and other elements are common elements in lubricating oil and lubricating oil additives, and their content is an important parameter indicating the properties of lubricating oil. In this method, the loss of volatile elements during dry ashing is solved by the pressure bullet method. The sample processing process is simple, and a variety of elements can be reliably determined at the same time.

Sample pretreatment method

Inorganic pretreatment method

More used and more reliable method. Disadvantages: Sample processing is time-consuming, easy to cause contamination and loss of the sample, greatly affected by artificial influence. Can be divided into:

For the ashing method, it is referred to as taking the sample (adding ashing aid, defoaming agent, etc.) in the crucible, placed on an electric furnace, slowly heated at a lower temperature for coking and carbonization, and finally burned at a high temperature (525±25 ° C) until the remaining inorganic matter. See GB/T5082 for operation.

Wet digestion method, in the process of ashing using sulfuric acid, nitric acid, perchloric acid, hydrogen peroxide and other reagents. Due to the relatively low temperature and the reaction in the liquid phase, the volatilization loss and adsorption loss are small.

Extraction method, the use of inorganic acid solution as extraction agent, the oil samples of metal element detection extraction separation. This method is simple, rapid and ideal for the separation of trace metals from a large number of oil samples. By adding oxidant and nitric acid, the elements were separated and enriched into aqueous solution for ICP determination

For high pressure bullet dissolving method, a small amount of sample is weighed in a special Teflon bottle, and then an appropriate amount of acid is added to dissolve the sample under high pressure.

Microwave digestion method, weighing a small amount of samples in cyanin, put into the microwave ashing furnace, according to the step temperature control program to heat up, first remove water and easy components, and then increase the temperature of the sample love, and finally ash into inorganic substances.

Organic samples were determined directly

The oil sample is directly injected into the sample or mixed with organic solvent (to reduce the matrix effect caused by the viscosity difference between the sample and the standard solution) for analysis and determination. Should choose to have good combustion, can produce stable flame, viscosity and surface tension is small, high boiling point characteristics of organic solvents mixed dilution. Commonly used solvents such as toluene, xylene and aviation coal.

Comparison of sample pretreatment methods

We have done a comparison between dry ashing method and microwave digestion method, the ash content of the oil meets the requirements of reproducibility. Because of the former rake long time, interference due to pro-much, gradually replaced by microwave method, greatly saving time.

Wet digestion method, due to the large test dose and sample volume used for digestion, limited sampling amount, long operation time, therefore, less application.

Extraction method, because the metal in the oil sample is often associated with organic matter, it is not easy to completely separate and remove it from the organic parent, so the method is not as widely used as the ashing method.

The direct injection method of organic samples eliminates the inorganic pretreatment process and greatly saves time. However, when using dilution method, the choice of solvent is limited, which needs to be demonstrated by a large number of experiments (selection of organic solvent, dilution of sample, interference effect, various parameters of the instrument, etc.). At present, direct injection of lubricating oil is reported, and the products such as gasoline and fuel oil are still in the exploratory stage. For example, Shi Wenzhong et al. published ICP-AES organic injection sample determination of trace elements in lubricating oil; Chen Yingjue et al. published the ICP/AES organic solvent dilution method for the determination of additives, wear and pollutants in used lubricating oils.

Test steps

In this experiment, the sample is pretreated by pressure dissolution method: accurately weigh 0.1 ~0.5g sample (accurate to 0.1mg) in the Teflon cup, add 3mL of human nitric acid and 3mL of 30% hydrogen peroxide, put the teflon cup into the pressure dissolution shell, tighten the bolt, put it into the oven at 150℃±5℃, constant temperature for 5 ~ 6h, cut off the power supply, Allow the pressure dissolve to cool naturally to room temperature in the oven. Take out the pressure bomb from the oven, put the treated sample agent into the 25mL volumetric bottle, wash the teflon cup with water at least 3 times, pour the washing liquid into the volumetric bottle, dilute to the scale with water.

Warning: The temperature and internal pressure are high before the pressure dissolve is cooled to room temperature. Do not remove the bolt from the oven or unscrew it, otherwise it may cause scald or acid burn.

Blank and standard working curve solution were inhaled successively to establish standard working curve. Inhale the solution of the sample to be tested and obtain the determination result.
