Abstract

In this study, the applicability and reproducibility of laser induced breakdown spectroscopy(LIBS) for heavy metal analysis in clinker and 5 types of by-products(crushed stone sludge, blast furnace slag, steel slag, waste concrete sludge, bottom ash) were experimentally reviewed. As a result of ICP-MS, XRF, and LIBS analysis of the six samples, the difference between ICP and XRF was confirmed in the quantitative analysis, but the LIBS analysis showed a difference by element from the standard analysis, and only qualitative analysis of the sample was possible. LIBS analysis wavelength was set for three types of heavy metals(Cd - 214.44nm, Pb - 405.78nm, Hg - 253.65nm). As a result of laser irradiation on the surface of the membrane impregnated with a solution of each concentration(1~1000ppm) and dried, the correlation between the spectral intensity and the concentration was confirmed.

본 연구에서는 부산물(석분 슬러지, 고로슬래그, 제강슬래그, 폐콘크리트 슬러지, 바텀애시) 5종과 클링커 내 중금속 분석을 위한 레이져 유도 플라즈마 분광법(LIBS) 적용성과 재현성 검토를 실험적으로 수행하였다. 클링커를 포함한 6종의 부산물 시료에 대한 ICP-MS, XRF, LIBS 분석 결과, 정량적 분석에서 ICP와 XRF의 차이가 확인되었으나, LIBS 분석은 표준분석과 일치하지 않고 시료의 정성적인 분석만 가능하였다. LIBS를 통한 정량적 분석을 위하여 Cd, Pb, Hg에 대하여 LIBS 분석 파장(Cd - 214.44nm, Pb - 405.78nm, Hg - 253.65nm)을 설정하였고, 농도별(1~1000ppm) 용액에 함침하여 건조시킨 멤브레인 표면에 레이져를 조사한 결과, 스펙트럼 강도와 농도 사이의 상관관계를 확인할 수 있었다.
