摘要:
黄金饰品中掺杂的钨和铼, 检测时可以利用X射线荧光光谱法分辨这两种元素的特征峰。本研究通过金相显微镜对这类黄金饰品表面局部放大观察,发现多处银白色金相组织;样品经过研磨抛光后,其X射线荧光光谱中铼和钨的特征峰明显,可证实样品中含有元素铼和钨等其他杂质元素。利用ICP-OES法建立铼和钨元素的标准曲线,结果表明,铼的测试波长221.426 nm和钨的测试波长239.709 nm作为分析谱线时,回收率为95%~105%, 相对标准偏差小于2%。研究过程发现,对样品均匀取样,消解测试铼和钨及其他杂质元素的含量,最终差减后可以得到金含量。
Abstract:Tungsten and rhenium doped in gold jewelry can be distinguished by their characteristic peaks using X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. By magnifying the surface of this kind of gold jewelry samples under a metallographic microscope, multiple silver white metallographic structures were found. Following grinding and polishing, X-ray flowrescence spectra showed obvious characteristic peaks of rhenium and tungsten, which confirmed the presence of the two elements, along with other impurity elements.Standard calibration curves for rhenium and tungsten were established using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer(ICP-OES). The results showed that the recovery rates of rhenium at the test wavelength of 221.426 nm and tungsten at the test wavelengh of 239.709 nm as the analytical spectral lines were between 95% and 105%, with the relative standard deviations below 2%. During study, it was found that after uniform sampling and digestion testing, the concentrations of rhenium, tungsten, and other impurities were determined, and the difference is subtracted to obtain the gold content.
