Abstract:Understanding the content of related metals in drilling sludge could provide the basis for the treatment and utilization of drilling sludge. X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRF) was often used for the determination of heavy metals in sludge. When boric acid was used as edging substrate material to prepare the sample pellet, it was found that boric acid was easily volatilized by heating, which increased the risk of instrument corrosion. The microcrystalline cellulose was employed to replace boric acid powder for sample preparation. The certified reference materials of soil, stream sediment and rock series were selected to establish the calibration curves. The matrix effect and spectral interference were corrected by empirical coefficient method and Compton scattering RhKα internal standard method. Thus, a method for determination of copper, lead, zinc, chromium and nickel in drilling sludge samples was realized by wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (WDXRF). The mechanical strength, high temperature stability and structure stability of sample pellet prepared by two edging substrate materials, i.e., boric acid and microcrystalline cellulose, were investigated. The results showed that the sample pellet prepared by microcrystalline cellulose as the edging substrate material had better mechanical strength, better high temperature stability and better structure stability compared to that prepared by boric acid as the edging substrate material. Therefore, the possibility of cracking, chip falling or fracture was lower in the testing process. Moreover, the risk of deterioration of physical properties for edging substrate material due to temperature variation was lower, which had smaller influence of dust accumulation on the instrument. The certified reference materials of rock and soil with similar composition to the drilling sludge matrix were selected. The drilling sludge sample was also collected. After the sample pellets were prepared with microcrystalline cellulose powder as the edging substrate material, the contents of copper, lead, zinc, chromium and nickel were determined according to the proposed method. Meanwhile, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used for method comparison. For the certified reference materials of rock and soil, the results were basically consistent with the certified values and those obtained by ICP-MS. The relative standard deviations (RSD, n=11) were between 0.9% and 4.7%. For the actual sample, the results were basically consistent with those obtained by ICP-MS. The relative standard deviations (n=11) were between 1.1% and 3.9%.
