Abstract:

Chlorine affects the properties of titanium-based materials. At present, the problems are that the analytical process of chlorine in titanium sponge is long, many reagents are required, and it is only qualitative. In this study, ion chromatography method was used for the determination of chlorine in titanium sponge. Through the study of the treatment method of titanium sponge, analysis of titanium removal effect, determination of gradient elution procedure, anti-jamming experiments, etc., the effects of solvents, acidity and chromatographic conditions on the results were investigated, the chromatographic conditions were optimized, and the difficult technical problem of separating chlorine from titanium matrix was solved. An ion chromatography method for the chlorine content in titanium sponge was established. It is found that ①Hydrofluoric acid will affect the application effect of H-type cation exchange pretreatment column (H column for short); ②The treated sponge titanium solution needs to be diluted first and then filtered, so the effect of removing heavy metals is better; ③After adding nitric acid, sponge titanium treated with sulfuric acid nitric acid must be heated to drive away nitrogen dioxide; ④As the use time of chromatographic column becomes longer, the column efficiency decreases, and the resolution of Cl- with SO42- and NO3- decreases. The separation effect can be improved by changing the gradient elution procedure. H column was used to remove titanium cations; The gradient elution procedure was used to elute the solution with KOH solution (1.0 mL/min), the inhibitory conductivity detection was used, and the chlorine was quantitatively determined by external standard method. The limit of detection and limit of quantification of the methods are 0.0039 μg/mL and 0.013 μg/mL, respectively. The relative standard deviation (RSD) is not more than 5.0%, and the recovery of standard addition is 94%~110%. It can analyze 0.005%~2.0% chlorine in titanium sponge. It is wider than that of the national standard GB/T 4698.25-2017 (0.010%~0.40%), and the results are in good agreement with those of the national standard photometry, which can meet the requirements of the determination of chlorine content in titanium sponge.
