Detection of heavy metal Pb in soil by filament-nanosecond laser induced breakdown spectroscopy
quantitative analysis of heavy metal lead in soil was conducted by femtosecond laser-filament-laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (Filament-ns DP-LIBS). First
a femtosecond laser plasma wire was used to ablate the lead-containing soil sample
and a low-density soil particle source was sprayed outward. Then
following interpulse delay time Δ
t
another nanosecond laser beam was used to re-ablate the low-density soil particle source to enhance spectral intensity
compress spectral line width
improve the experimental repeatability of LIBS
and reduce the Limit of Detection (LOD) of heavy metal lead in the soil. Experimental results show that when compared to the results of the Filament-induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (FIBS)
the enhancement factor of Pb I 405.78 nm for the Filament-ns DP-LIBS with an interpulse delay time of 10 μs is 9.66
and the spectral line width is reduced from 3.66×10
-10
m to 2.74×10
-10
m
which improves the LIBS spectral resolution. With the FIBS and Filament-ns DP-LIBS
the linear correlation coefficients
R
2
of calibration curves are 0.982 and 0.994
respectively. The RSD and LOD values with the FIBS and Filament-ns DP-LIBS are 7.37% and 65.86 mg/kg and 3.27% and 24.39 mg/kg
respectively. The results thus reveal that the Filament-ns DP-LIBS can reduce the minimum detection limit of soil heavy metals and improve the detection sensitivity of LIBS.
