摘要
本研究建立了多接收电感耦合等离子体质谱(MC-ICP-MS)两步静态法测量U-Th同位素的分析步骤和数据处理流程。对于U同位素,第一步用二次电子倍增器(SEM)测量~(234)U,同时用法拉第杯测量~(233)U、~(235)U、~(236)U和~(238)U;第二步用SEM测量~(236)U,同时用法拉第杯接收~(233)U、~(234)U、~(235)U和~(238)U。对于Th同位素,第一步用SEM测量~(229)Th;第二步用SEM测量~(230)Th,同时用法拉第杯接收~(229)Th和~(232)Th。U和Th的测量均通过两个步骤的多次循环采集同位素数据。该方法的关键在于采用SEM与法拉第杯测量的~(236)U_(SEM)/~(233)U_(FC)比值(经过质量歧视校正)与~(236)U/~(233)U真值的比较以校正SEM与法拉第杯的相对增益。本研究采用两步静态法重复分析了U同位素的国际标准样品Harwell uraninite(HU-1)。测量结果表明,HU-1的δ~(234)U平均值为(-0.48±1.92)‰,误差为单次测量结果的标准偏差(±2σ,n=55)。该结果与国内外不同实验室发表的数据在误差范围内一致。此外,本研究将两步静态测试法与SEM跳峰扫描法分别用于分析次生碳酸盐岩实验室标准样品的U-Th同位素和~(230)Th/U年代(SB-530、SB-8600、SB-108K、SB-240K、SB-335K和SB-435K)。对比实验结果表明,MC-ICP-MS两步静态法测量U-Th同位素行之有效,~(234)U/~(238)U和~(230)Th/~(238)U比值的分析精度可分别达到1‰~2‰和1‰~3‰,然而该方法的可靠性还需要更多国际标准样品的检验。
        This study presented a newly developed multi-static U-Th isotopic measurement method. For U isotopes, firstly, the ~(234)U was measured on the SEM and simultaneously, the signals of ~(233)U, ~(235)U, ~(236)U and ~(238)U were measured in Faraday cups. Secondly, ~(236)U was collected on the SEM, and the ~(233)U, ~(234)U, ~(235)U and ~(238)U were measured in Faraday cups. The ratio of ~(236)U_(SEM)/~(233)U_(FC)(the ratio of SEM to Faraday cup measurement corrected for mass fractionation) was used to monitor the SEM/Faraday cup relative yield. The ~(238)U/~(235)U ratio was used for instrumental mass fractionation correction by comparing the measured value with the natural value. For Th isotopes, the ~(229)Th and ~(230)Th were alternately measured on SEM and ~(232)Th in a Faraday cup. Th isotopic measurements were carried out immediately after the U measurements from a same sample. The correction factors of SEM/Faraday cup relative yield and instrumental mass fractionation determined in U measurements were used for Th isotopic data corrections. The ideal ion beam intensities for measurements are 3-6 mV for ~(236)U, 5-15 V for ~(238)U(equivalent to 10~(11) Ω amplifier), <10~5 cps for ~(229)Th and ~(230)Th. The U and Th isotope data are usually acquired 200-400 cycles taking 20-30 min. To test the reliability of this method, the U isotopic standard Harwell uraninite(HU-1) was repeatedly measured and yielded a mean δ~(234)U value of(-0.48±1.92)‰(±2σ, n=55), which is in agreement with the data previously published by different laboratories. In this study, the multi-static method was applied to six in-house secondary carbonate standards, SB-530, SB-8600, SB-108 K, SB-240 K, SB-335 K and SB-435 K. The repeated measurements suggest that the six standards have U content of 500-3 000 ng/g and Th content of 0.1-1.0 ng/g. Their δ~(234)U values range from 95 to 1 030, and ~(230)Th/~(238)U ratios range from 0.01 to 1.33. Their error weighted mean ages are(0.53±0.01),(8.61±0.01),(107.6±0.2),(239.4±0.8),(332.8±1.9) and(437±5) ka, respectively. These results were confirmed by the comparative study using the SEM method carried out in the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. This study demonstrates that the newly developed U-Th isotopic measurement method can routinely measure the ~(234)U/~(238)U and ~(230)Th/~(238)U ratios at the precision of 1‰-3‰, but its reliability needs to be further validated by more international standards.
