Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a rapidly evolving in-situ multi-element analysis technique that has significantly advanced the field of liquid analysis. This study employs a femtosecond laser for quantitative analysis of heavy metals in flowing liquids, exploring its detection sensitivity and accuracy. Femtosecond pulsed laser excitation of water in a dynamic environment generates plasma while effectively preventing liquid splashing. The flowing water column maintains a stable liquid surface, avoiding irregular laser focusing caused by surface fluctuations. Calibration curves for chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), and copper (Cu) were established under optimized conditions at different numbers of spectral accumulations (NSAs). The limit of detection for Cr, Pb, and Cu were determined to be 0.061, 0.045, and 0.023; 0.475, 0.341, and 0.221; and 0.040, 0.027, and 0.019 μg/mL, respectively, for NSAs of 10, 20, and 50. Additionally, the R values of the polynomial fits exceeded 0.99, underscoring the reliability of the experimental approach. This study provides valuable insights into optimizing the analytical performance of LIBS for heavy metal detection in aqueous solutions, making it a powerful tool for environmental monitoring and industrial applications.
激光诱导击穿光谱法(LIBS)是一种快速发展的原位多元素分析技术,在液体分析领域取得了显著进展。本研究采用飞秒激光对流动液体中的重金属进行定量分析,探究其检测灵敏度和准确性。在动态环境中,飞秒脉冲激光激发水产生等离子体,同时有效防止液体飞溅。流动的水柱保持稳定的液面,避免因表面波动导致的激光聚焦不规则。在优化条件下,针对不同的光谱累积次数(NSAs)建立了铬(Cr)、铅(Pb)和铜(Cu)的校准曲线。对于NSAs为10、20和50的情况,Cr、Pb和Cu的检测限分别确定为0.061、0.045和0.023;0.475、0.341和0.221;以及0.040、0.027和0.019μg/mL。此外,多项式拟合的R值超过0.99,突出了实验方法的可靠性。本研究为优化LIBS在水溶液中重金属检测的分析性能提供了有价值的见解,使其成为环境监测和工业应用的有力工具。
