Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    The present invention relates to column packings and concentrating columns for the analysis of metallic elements, in particular relates to column packings and concentrating columns for the analysis of metal element contained in seawater, estuarine water and river water. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    Column packing is an important component of a concentrating column, which is a key part of instruments for analysis of metallic elements contained in seawater, estuarine water and river water. For example, concentrating columns can be coupled with other instruments such as ion chromatography analyzer, flow injection analyzer, inductively coupled plasma emission spectra—mass spectra associated analyzer, atomic absorption spectrophotometer, so as to enrich and analyze metallic elements in samples. In concentrating columns, column packings are used for the purposes of enrichment and separation. Therefore, researches concerning column packings and concentrating columns are attracting continuous attention. 
         [0003]    China patent ZL 200410040361.5 discloses a concentrating column for the trace analysis of metallic elements, wherein the column packing of the concentrating column is formed from swollen and cleaned macroporous adsorbent resins of high, medium or non-polarity, which were subjected to dynamic on-column treatment or static immersion treatment using a mixed solution of 3 mol/L NH 4 OH −1 mol/L HAC—3.0˜6.0×10 −4  mol/L pyridine-(2-azo-4-)resorcin or a mixed solution of 0.5 mol/L Na 2 HPO 4 —1.0˜2.0×10 −4  mol/L pyridine-(2-azo-4-)resorcin. This column packing and concentrating column can simplify the treatment of samples and the configuration of the devices for treating the samples, so as to enhance the processing speed, and adsorb Hg 2+  on the concentrating column. However, during the on-column treatment or immersing treatment of the polar or medium-polar or non-polar macroporous resins, large amounts of treating agents are required (mixed solution of 3 mol/L NH 4 OH—1 mol/L HAC-3.0˜6.0×10 −4  mol/L pyridine-(2-azo-4-) resorcin or mixed solution of 0.5 mol/L Na 2 HPO 4 —1.0˜2.0×10 −4  mol/L pyridine-(2-azo-4-)resorcin), which interfere the wide application of column packings and further reduction of the cost of concentrating columns. 
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0004]    The purpose of the present invention is to provide a novel column packing and concentrating columns using said column packing, so as to overcome the shortages of prior art. While maintaining the sample treatment process and simplifying the structures of sample treatment devices, as well as having the advantage of absorbing various metallic elements, the present invention further decreases the cost of column packing, extends the application of column packings and concentrating columns. 
         [0005]    The technical solution of the present invention comprises: subjecting swollen and cleaned macroporous adsorbent resins of high, medium or non-polarity to dynamic on-column treatment or static immersion treatment, wherein treating solution I or treating solution II is used. 
         [0006]    The column packing useful for the analysis of metallic elements according to the present invention is formed from the swollen and cleaned macroporous adsorbent resins of high, medium or non-polarity by immersing treatment using treating solution I or treating solution II. 
         [0007]    The concentrating column according to the present invention consists essentially of a column body, filtration membranes installed at the inner sides of the inlet and outlet of the column body, and a column packing packed inside the column body, wherein the column packing is formed from swollen and cleaned macroporous adsorbent resins of high, medium or non-polarity via dynamic on-column treatment or static immersion treatment using treating solution I or treating solution II. 
         [0008]    The swelling of said polar or medium-polar or non-polar macroporous adsorptive resins is achieved by immersing them in ethanol at room temperature for at least 8 hours. The resins are then rinsed with deionized water. 
         [0009]    Treating solution I is a mixed aqueous solution of 0.02-0.06 g/L of 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridyl azo)-5-diethylamino phenol, 1.60-1.90 g/L of Na 2 B 4 O 7 .10H 2 O, 6.0×10 −3 -8.0×10 −3  mol/L of HCl, and polyethylene glycol octyl phenyl ether (OP emulsifying agent) with a volume percent of 0.3-0.8%. Treating solution II is a mixed aqueous solution of 0.04-0.10 g/L of 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridyl azo)-5-diethylamino phenol, 0.05-0.08 mol/L of glycine, 0.05-0.08 mol/L of NaOH, 0.010-0.015 mol/L of NaCl, and polyethylene glycol octyl phenyl ether (OP emulsifying agent) with a volume percent of 0.3-0.8%. The chemicals used in the preparation of treating solution I and treating solution II are all conventional chemicals, which are commercially available. 
         [0010]    The static immersion treatment of said swollen and cleaned macroporous adsorbent resins of high, medium or non-polarity comprises placing the swollen and cleaned macroporous adsorbent resins of high, medium or non-polarity into treating solution I or treating solution II, immersing at room temperature for at least 4 minutes, and then rinsing it with deionized water until the rinsing water becomes colorless. During the static immersion treatment, the volume ratio between the swollen and cleaned macroporous adsorbent resins of high, medium or non-polarity and the treating solution I or treating solution II is 1:2˜1:4. 
         [0011]    The dynamic on-column treatment of said swollen and cleaned macroporous adsorbent resins of high, medium or non-polarity comprises packing the swollen and cleaned macroporous adsorbent resins of high, medium or non-polarity into the column, then pumping treating solution I or treating solution II into the concentrating column directly or after 2˜4 folds dilution using deionized water, until the effluent from the concentrating column changes from colorless to light red, then pumping deionized water into the concentrating column, until the effluent from the concentrating column changes from light red to colorless. 
         [0012]    The present invention provides the following advantages. 
         [0013]    1. To complete the static immersion treatment or dynamic on-column treatment, the cleaned, polar or medium-polar or non-polar macroporous adsorptive resins of the present invention need less time (which is between 1/20 and 1/10 of the time needed in China Patent ZL 200410040361.5, see Example 7) and consume very small amount of treating solutions (which is between 1/20 and 1/10 of that of China Patent ZL 200410040361.5, see Example 7). As a result, the cost of the column packing is reduced. 
         [0014]    2. Benefited from the reduction of the column packing cost, the column packing can be used for treating environmental water, such as removing the harmful metallic elements including Cd, Hg and the like. 
         [0015]    3. Various metallic elements, including Cu, Zn, Cd, Hg, Fe, Mn, Co, Ni and the like, can be adsorbed by the column packing. 
         [0016]    4. By using the concentrating column with the column packing according to the present invention, the test samples are not required to experience complexing treatment. As a result, the procedures for treating the samples and the structure of the sample processing device are simplified. 
         [0017]    5. By using the concentrating column with the column packing according to the present invention, a solution of 5-8×10 −3  mol/L of HNO 3  or a mixed solution of 0.010 mol/L of oxalic acid-0.0075 mol/L of citric acid-1.15 g/L LiOH can be used as the desorbing solution. 
         [0018]    6. The concentrating column according to the present invention can be combined with instruments like ion chromatography analyzer, flow injection analyzer, inductively coupled plasma emission spectra-mass spectra coordinating analyzer, atomic absorption spectrophotometer and the like.

       DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
       [0021]    It is to be noted that the term “a” or “an” entity refers to one or more of that entity. 
         [0022]    The following examples are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. 
       Example 1 
       [0023]    The column packing of this example was formed from non-polar macroporous adsorptive resins through static immersion treatment. The non-polar macroporous adsorptive resins were selected from Amberlite XAD-1˜Amberlite XAD-5 (obtained from Rohm&amp;Hass company, US) and D3520 (obtained from Nankai University, Tianjin, China). The processing steps were as follows: 
         [0024]    1. Immersion, Swelling and Cleansing Treatments 
         [0025]    The foregoing non-polar macroporous adsorptive resins were immersed into ethanol in a container at 25° C. (the amount of ethanol is not strictly limited, so long as it flooded the non-polar macroporous adsorptive resins completely). An immersion time of 8 hours was enough for swelling. The swelled resins were then rinsed with deionized water, until there was no ethanol in the resins. 
         [0026]    2. Static Immersion Treatment with Treating Solution I 
         [0027]    Treating solutions were prepared according to the formulations shown in Table 1, using 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridineazo)-5-diethylamino phenol, Na 2 B 4 O 7 .10H 2 O, HCl, polyethylene glycol octyl phenyl ether (OP emulsifying agent) and deionized water as raw materials. And then immersed, swelled and purged non-polar macroporous adsorptive resins were respectively placed into containers containing the foregoing treating solutions, wherein the volume ratio between the non-polar macroporous adsorptive resins and the treating solution in each container is 1:4. The temperatures and immersion times were shown in Table 1. After immersion treatment, the resins were rinsed with deionized water until the rinsing water became colorless, so that the column packing according to the present invention was obtained.

         [0032]    (1) Preparation of the Mixed Solution 
         [0033]    Treating solutions were prepared according to the formulations shown in Table 3, using 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridineazo)-5-diethylamino phenol, Na 2 B 4 O 7 .10H 2 O, HCl, polyethylene glycol octyl phenyl ether (OP emulsifying agent) and ionized water as raw materials. 
         [0034]    (2) Packing of the Concentrating Column 
         [0035]    After immersion, swelling and cleansing treatments, the non-polar macroporous adsorbent resin was added into the column body via a dropper, and washed with deionized water. The swelling and cleaning of the non-polar macroporous adsorptive resins were conducted in a similar manner as in Example 1. 
         [0036]    (3) On-Column Treatment 
         [0037]    The treating solutions undiluted or diluted with deionized water according to Table 3 were pumped into the concentrating column at flow rates listed in Table 3 at room temperature (25° C.) until the effluent from concentrating column changed from colorless to light red. And then deionized water was pumped through to wash the concentrating column until the effluent turned from light red to colorless, as a result concentrating columns according to the present invention were obtained.

         [0045]    3. Static Immersion Treatment with Treating Solution I 
         [0046]    After immersion, swelling and cleansing treatments, the non-polar macroporous adsorbent resins were subjected to static immersion treatment with treating solution I in a similar manner as in Example 1. The column packing thus obtained was added into the column body via a dropper, and thus a concentrating column was obtained. 
         [0047]    4. Static Immersion Treatment with Treating Solution II 
         [0048]    After immersion, swelling and cleansing treatments, the non-polar macroporous adsorbent resins were subjected to static immersion treatment with treating solution II in a similar manner as in Example 1. The column packing thus obtained was added into the column body via a dropper, and thus a concentrating column was obtained. 
       Example 3 
       [0049]    The column packings of this example were formed from medium-polar macroporous adsorptive resins through static immersion treatment. The medium-polar macroporous adsorptive resins used here were selected from Amberlite XAD-6, Amberlite XAD-7, Amberlite XAD-8 (obtained from Rohm &amp; Hass Company, US). The processing steps were as follows. 
         [0050]    1. Immersion, Swelling and Cleansing Treatments 
         [0051]    The foregoing medium-polar macroporous adsorptive resins were immersed into ethanol in a container at 20° C. (the amount of ethanol is not strictly limited, so long as it flooded the medium-polar macroporous adsorptive resins completely). An immersion time of 10 hours was enough for swelling. The swelled resins were then rinsed with deionized water, until there was no ethanol in the resins. 
         [0052]    2. Static Immersion Treatment with Treating Solution I 
         [0053]    Treating solutions were prepared according to the formulations shown in Table 5, using 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridineazo)-5-diethylamino phenol, Na 2 B 4 O 7 .10H 2 O, HCl, polyethylene glycol octyl phenyl ether (OP emulsifying agent) and ionized water as raw materials. And then immersed, swelled and purged medium-polar macroporous adsorptive resins were respectively placed into containers containing the foregoing treating solutions, wherein the volume ratio between the medium-polar macroporous adsorptive resins and the treating solution in each container is 1:3. The temperatures and immersion times were shown in Table 5. After immersion treatment, the resins were rinsed with deionized water until the rinsing water became colorless, and as a result column packings according to the present invention were obtained.

       Example 4 
       [0056]    The structure of the concentrating column used in this example was the same with that of Example 2, as shown in  FIG. 1 , except that column packing  8  was different from that of Example 2. Column packing  8  used here was prepared from medium-polar macroporous adsorptive resins under the trade names of Amberlite XAD-6, Amberlite XAD-7 and Amberlite XAD-8 (obtained from Rohm &amp; Hass company, US) through dynamic on-column treatment or static immersion treatment with treating solution I or treating solution II. Size of the concentrating column is φ5×30 mm. 
         [0057]    1. Dynamic On-Column Treatment with Treating Solution I 
         [0058]    (1) Preparation of the Mixed Solutions 
         [0059]    Treating solutions were prepared according to the formulations shown in Table 7, using 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridineazo)-5-diethylamino phenol, Na 2 B 4 O 7 .10H 2 O, HCl, polyethylene glycol octyl phenyl ether (OP emulsifying agent) and ionized water as raw materials. 
         [0060]    (2) Packing of the Concentrating Column 
         [0061]    After immersion, swelling and cleansing treatments, the medium-polar macroporous adsorbent resins were added into the column body via a dropper, and was washed with deionized water. The swelling and cleaning of the medium-polar macroporous adsorptive resins were conducted in a similar manner as in Example 3. 
         [0062]    (3) On-Column Treatment 
         [0063]    The treating solutions undiluted or diluted with deionized water according to Table 7 were pumped into the concentrating column at flow rates listed in Table 7 at room temperature (20° C.) until the effluent from concentrating column changed from colorless to light red. And then deionized water was pumped through to wash the concentrating column until the effluent turned from light red to colorless, as a result concentrating columns according to the present invention were obtained.

         [0071]    3. Static Immersion Treatment with Treating Solution I 
         [0072]    After immersion, swelling and cleansing treatments, the medium-polar macroporous adsorbent resins were subjected to static immersion treatment with treating solution I in a similar manner as in Example 3. The column packing thus obtained was added into the column body via a dropper, and thus a concentrating column was obtained. 
         [0073]    4. Static Immersion Treatment with Treating Solution II 
         [0074]    After immersion, swelling and cleansing treatments, the medium-polar macroporous adsorbent resins were subjected to static immersion treatment with treating solution II in a similar manner as in Example 3. The column packing thus obtained was added into the column body via a dropper, and thus a concentrating column was obtained. 
       Example 5 
       [0075]    The column packings of this example were formed from polar macroporous adsorptive resin through static immersion. The polar macroporous adsorptive resins used here were selected from Amberlite XAD-9 and Amberlite XAD-10 (obtained from Rohm &amp; Hass company, US) and NKA (obtained from Nankai University, Tianjin, China). The processing steps were as follows: 
         [0076]    1. Immersion, Swelling and Cleansing Treatments 
         [0077]    The foregoing polar macroporous adsorptive resins were immersed into ethanol in a container at 30° C. (the amount of ethanol is not strictly limited, so long as it flooded the medium-polar macroporous adsorptive resins completely). An immersion time of 8 hours was enough for swelling. The swelled resins were then rinsed with deionized water, until there was no ethanol in the resins. 
         [0078]    2. Static Immersion Treatment with Treating Solution I 
         [0079]    Treating solutions were prepared according to the formulations shown in Table 9, using 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridineazo)-5-diethylamino phenol, Na 2 B 4 O 7 10H 2 O, HCl, polyethylene glycol octyl phenyl ether (OP emulsifying agent) and ionized water as raw materials. And then immersed, swelled and purged polar macroporous adsorptive resins were respectively placed into containers containing the foregoing treating solutions, wherein the volume ratio between the polar macroporous adsorptive resins and the treating solution in each container is 1:2. The temperatures and immersion times were shown in Table 9. After immersion treatment, the resins were rinsed with deionized water until the rinsing water became colorless, and as a result column packings according to the present invention were obtained.

       [0082]    The structure of the concentrating column used in this example is the same with that of Example 2, as shown in  FIG. 1 , except that the column packing  8  used here was different from that of Example 2. Column packing  8  used in this example was prepared from polar macroporous adsorptive resin under the trade names of Amberlite XAD-9 and Amberlite XAD-10 (obtained from Rohm &amp; Hass company, US) and NKA (produced by Nankai University, Tianjin, China) through dynamic on-column treatment or static immersion treatment with treating solution I or treating solution II. Size of the concentrating column is φ5×30 mm. 
         [0083]    1. Dynamic on-Column Treatment with Treating Solution I 
         [0084]    (1) Preparation of the Mixed Solutions 
         [0085]    Treating solutions were prepared according to the formulations shown in Table 11, using 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridineazo)-5-diethylamino phenol, Na 2 B 4 O 7 .10H 2 O, HCl, polyethylene glycol octyl phenyl ether (OP emulsifying agent) and ionized water as raw materials 
         [0086]    (2) Packing of the Concentrating Column 
         [0087]    After immersion, swelling and cleansing treatments, the polar macroporous adsorbent resins were added into the column body via a dropper, and washed with deionized water. The swelling and cleaning of the polar macroporous adsorptive resins were conducted in a similar manner as in Example 5. 
         [0088]    (3) On-Column Treatment 
         [0089]    The treating solutions undiluted or diluted with deionized water according to Table 11 were pumped into the concentrating column at flow rates listed in Table 11 at room temperature (30° C.) until the effluent from concentrating column changed from colorless to light red. And then deionized water was pumped through to wash the concentrating column until the effluent turned from light red to colorless, as a result concentrating columns according to the present invention were obtained.

         [0090]    2. Dynamic On-Column Treatment with Treating Solution II 
         [0091]    (1) Preparation of the Mixed Solutions 
         [0092]    Treating solutions were prepared according to the formulations shown in Table 12, using 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridineazo)-5-diethylamino phenol, glycine, NaOH, NaCl, polyethylene glycol octyl phenyl ether (OP emulsifying agent) and ionized water as raw materials. 
         [0093]    (2) Packing of the Concentrating Column 
         [0094]    After immersion, swelling and cleansing treatments, the polar macroporous adsorbent resins were added into the column body via a dropper, and washed with deionized water. The swelling and cleaning of the polar macroporous adsorptive resins were conducted in a similar manner as in Example 5. 
         [0095]    (3) On-Column Treatment 
         [0096]    The treating solutions undiluted or diluted with deionized water according to Table 12 were pumped into the concentrating column at flow rates listed in Table 12 at room temperature (30° C.) until the effluent from concentrating column changed from colorless to light red. And then deionized water was pumped through to wash the concentrating column until the effluent turned from light red to colorless, as a result concentrating columns according to the present invention were obtained.
