基于气体吸附和扫描电子显微镜分析天然和无机结合剂充填处理绿松石的孔隙特征

Pore Characteristic of Natural and Inorganic Binder Filled Turquoises Based on Gas Adsorption and Scanning Electron Microscope Analysis

  • 摘要: 绿松石为一种多孔的宝石材料,孔隙度可以直接影响其物理性质,如颜色、光泽、耐久性等,从而影响绿松石的品质,故孔隙度的研究工作至关重要。气体吸附法可以测得绿松石中的介孔(2~50 nm)以及不同孔径的孔隙的分布特征。采用Bet全自动气体吸附仪及扫描电子显微镜对无机充填处理前后绿松石样品的孔隙特征进行了对比。气体吸附测试结果显示,经过充填处理后绿松石的比表面积及孔容都有一定程度的变化,吸脱附曲线属于第Ⅲ类无滞后回线的曲线;平均孔径分布图显示各级孔隙在一定程度上减少,大的孔隙被无机充填物充填为小孔隙,但处理过程中也会出现较小孔径被腐蚀成大孔径的现象。扫描电子显微镜观察结果显示,处理前后绿松石的微晶集合体形貌、晶体特征以及孔隙度结构有较大的变化;结合计算,经无机结合剂充填处理后绿松石的表面孔隙率明显降低,其与处理前的天然绿松石中的孔隙是一端封闭且不贯穿的孔隙,符合吸脱附曲线表征的孔隙形状;微形貌特征的明显差异可以作为无机结合剂充填处理绿松石与天然绿松石的有效判别依据之一。

     

    Abstract: Turquoise is a porous gem material, and the porosity can directly affect its physical properties, such as colour, luster, durability, etc., thus affecting the quality of the turquoise. Therefore, the research works on the porosity of turquoise is crucial, and the gas adsorption method can measure the distribution characteristics of mesopores (2-50 nm) and pores of different pore sizes in turquoise. In this paper, the pore characteristics of inorganic binder filled turquoise before and after treatment were comparatively studied by using Bet automatic gas adsorption instrument and scanning electron microscope; the gas adsorption test showed that the specific surface area and pore volume of turquoise after filling treatment were changed to some extent, and the adsorption and desorption curves belonged to the curves of class Ⅲ without hysteresis return line; the average pore size distribution graph showed that the pores of all levels of turquoise after filling treatment were reduced to some extent. The average pore size distribution diagram showed that the pores of turquoise were reduced to some extent, and the large pores were filled into small pores by inorganic binder filling, and the phenomenon of smaller pores being eroded into large pores also occurs during the treatment process; the results of scanning electron microscope study showed that there were large changes in the microcrystalline aggregate morphology, crystal particle characteristics and porosity structure of turquoise before and after the treatment; combined with the calculation, the surface porosity of turquoise samples treated by inorganic filling was significantly reduced, and it was found that the pores in turquoise after treatment were closed at one end and do not penetrate, which were consistent with the pore shape characterized by the adsorption and desorption curves; the obvious difference in the microscopic morphology can be used as one of the bases to distinguish the inorganic binder filled turquoise from natural turquoise.
