Application overview
The ternary catalyst can catalyze the redox reaction of carbon monoxide, nitrogen hydrogen compounds and nitrogen oxides in automobile exhaust gas and reduce the pollution of automobile exhaust gas. It is an indispensable part of the automobile industry. It contains platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd) , rhodium (Rh) and other precious metals, the recovery of ternary catalysts and the identification of true and false require effective analysis and detection methods.
Traditional X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRF) cannot detect the low content of precious metals in ternary catalyst (mg/kg). PHECDA Series of Single-wavelength X-ray fluorescence Spectrometer (HS XRF) developed by Ancoren (patent number: ZL 2015 1 0567341.1), combined with Fast fundamental parameter method (Fast FP), can be used for rapid detection of precious metals in terpolymer catalysts, with advantages of simple operation, low detection limit, high accuracy and fast detection speed.
Technical Principles
(1)Monochromatic focused excitation technology
● Improve element detection sensitivity by 2 orders of magnitude
● HS XRF enables analysis of trace metal elements
(Patent No. : ZL 2015 1 0567341.1)
(2)Fast fundamental parameter method
● Utilize basic parameter library and a series of advanced mathematical models.
● Solve the uncertainty and analysis error caused by various effects of XRF.
● Realize elemental quantitative analysis of various samples without standard samples.
