As shown in FIG. 1, the
(外容器部1)
外容器部1は、内部に炭化ケイ素化合物試料7と炭化ケイ素化合物試料7を分解する分解液8とを収容する密閉空間を有している。外容器部1は、内部に収容した炭化ケイ素化合物試料7を分解するために加えられる圧力に対して耐圧性である。また、外容器部1は、内部に収容した炭化ケイ素化合物試料7を分解するために加えられる熱に対して耐熱性であることが好ましい。
(Outer container part 1)
The
ここで、炭化ケイ素化合物試料7を分解するために加えられる圧力に対して耐圧性であるとは、炭化ケイ素化合物試料7を分解するために圧力が加えられたときに、膨張又は軟化しにくく、形状を一定に保ち変形しないことを意図している。また、炭化ケイ素化合物試料7を分解するために加えられる熱に対して耐熱性であるとは、炭化ケイ素化合物試料7を分解するために加熱したとき、溶出又は軟化しにくく、形状を一定に保ち変形しないことを意図している。 Here, the pressure resistance against the pressure applied to decompose the silicon carbide compound sample 7 is difficult to expand or soften when pressure is applied to decompose the silicon carbide compound sample 7, It is intended to keep the shape constant and not deform. Further, heat resistance to heat applied to decompose the silicon carbide compound sample 7 means that when heated to decompose the silicon carbide compound sample 7, elution or softening is difficult and the shape is kept constant. It is intended not to deform.
<内筒部3>
外容器部1は、内筒部3と、その外側の外筒部2との2重壁構造である。内筒部3は、密閉空間に面し、分解液8に対して耐溶性である材料により形成されている。内筒部3は、密閉空間に分解液8が収容されたとき、分解液8に直接接触するため、分解液8に対して耐溶性である材料により形成される。分解液8に対して耐溶性である材料とは、分解液8に対して金属成分の溶出が少ない材料を意図しており、分解液8に対して金属成分が溶出しない材料であることがより好ましい。
<Inner cylinder part 3>
The
分解液8に対して耐溶性である材料として、例えば、フッ素樹脂、白金、又はセラミックス材料が挙げられる。フッ素樹脂として、例えば、PTFE=ポリテトラフルオロエチレン(4フッ化)、PFA=テトラフルオロエチレン・パーフルオロアルキルビニルエーテル共重合体、PVDF=ポリビニリデンフルオライド(2フッ化)、PCTFE=ポリクロロトリフルオロエチレン(3フッ化)等が挙げられる。セラミックス材料として、例えば、アルミナ、ジルコニア、カルシア、マグネシア、イットリア等が挙げられる。
Examples of the material that is resistant to the
内筒部3の形状は特に限定されず、内側に密閉空間が存在し、当該密閉空間内に支持部4が設置され、炭化ケイ素化合物試料7及び分解液8が収容可能であればよい。内筒部3は、下部と蓋部との2つの部材に分割されており、下部に支持部4を設置し、分解液8を収容し、これを上から塞ぐように蓋部を載せて密閉してもよい。内筒部3の下壁、側壁、及び上壁の厚みは、収容される分解液8の流出を防ぎ、内側の空間を密閉することが可能な厚みであれば特に限定されない。
The shape of the inner cylinder part 3 is not particularly limited as long as the sealed space exists inside, the
<外筒部2>
外筒部2は、内筒部3の外側に位置し、内筒部3を包みこむように設けられている。そして、外筒部2は、炭化ケイ素化合物試料7を溶解させるための圧力に対して耐圧性である。したがって、内部に収容した炭化ケイ素化合物試料7を分解するために、加熱して圧力が加えられ、内筒部3が変形したとしても、外筒部2が耐圧性を有しているため、外容器部1全体の変形を防ぐことができる。また、外筒部2は、炭化ケイ素化合物試料7を溶解させるために加えられる熱に対して耐熱性であることが好ましい。これにより、外容器部1の熱による変形を防ぐことができる。
<Outer cylinder part 2>
The outer cylinder part 2 is located outside the inner cylinder part 3 and is provided so as to wrap around the inner cylinder part 3. And the outer cylinder part 2 is pressure-resistant with respect to the pressure for melt | dissolving the silicon carbide compound sample 7. FIG. Therefore, in order to decompose the silicon carbide compound sample 7 accommodated in the inside, even if pressure is applied by heating and the inner cylinder part 3 is deformed, the outer cylinder part 2 has pressure resistance. Deformation of the
外筒部2は、炭化ケイ素化合物試料7を溶解させるための圧力及び熱に対して耐圧性及び耐熱性であればよく、例えば、ステンレススチールにより形成される。外筒部2は、少なくとも加圧及び加熱時に内筒部3を包み込むように設けられていればよい。すなわち、外筒部2は、下部と蓋部との2つの部材に分割されており、下部に内筒部3を収容し、これを上から塞ぐように蓋部を載せて密閉し、加圧及び加熱に供してもよい。外筒部2の下壁、側壁、及び上壁の厚みは、所望の耐圧性及び耐熱性が得られる厚みであれば特に限定されない。 The outer cylinder portion 2 only needs to have pressure resistance and heat resistance against the pressure and heat for dissolving the silicon carbide compound sample 7, and is formed of, for example, stainless steel. The outer cylinder part 2 should just be provided so that the inner cylinder part 3 may be wrapped at least at the time of pressurization and heating. That is, the outer cylinder part 2 is divided into two members, a lower part and a lid part. The inner cylinder part 3 is accommodated in the lower part, and the lid part is placed and sealed so as to close it from above. And may be subjected to heating. The thickness of the lower wall, the side wall, and the upper wall of the outer cylinder part 2 is not particularly limited as long as desired pressure resistance and heat resistance can be obtained.
外容器部1においては、内筒部3が、分解液8が収容される密閉空間に面し、外筒部2と分解液8とが接触しないようになっているので、外筒部2に由来する金属不純物が分解液8に溶け出し、コンタミネーションが発生するのを防ぎ、分解液8への金属の溶出を抑えることができる。なお、内筒部3をさらに2層構造にし、より確実に外筒部2に由来する金属不純物が分解液8に溶け出すのを防いでもよい。

(内容器6)
内容器6は、分解液8に対して耐溶性である材料により形成されており、上部が開放された柱状の容器である。炭化ケイ素化合物試料7は上部の開放部分から内容器6内に収容される。内容器6は、その内壁に分解液8が接触しないように、外容器部1内に設けられている。内容器6は、分解液8が気化した分解液ガス中に曝されるので、分解液8に対して金属成分の溶出が少ない、又は分解液8に対して金属成分が溶出しない材料により形成されている必要がある。
(Inner container 6)
The
内容器6を構成する、分解液8に対して耐溶性である材料として、例えば、フッ素樹脂、白金、又はセラミックス材料が挙げられる。フッ素樹脂として、例えば、PTFE=ポリテトラフルオロエチレン(4フッ化)、PFA=テトラフルオロエチレン・パーフルオロアルキルビニルエーテル共重合体、PVDF=ポリビニリデンフルオライド(2フッ化)、PCTFE=ポリクロロトリフルオロエチレン(3フッ化)等が挙げられる。セラミックス材料として、例えば、アルミナ、ジルコニア、カルシア、マグネシア、イットリア等が挙げられる。
Examples of the material that is resistant to the
内容器6は、例えば、内容器6をテーブル5上に載置して、分解液8の液面よりも上側に位置するテーブル5の下側に分解液8が収容されてもよいし、内容器6と、分解液が収容された分解液容器(図示せず)とを、テーブル5上に隣接して載置してもよく、さらに、内容器6をテーブル5の下側に載置し、分解液が収容された分解液容器(図示せず)をテーブルの上側に載置してもよい。つまり、内容器6は、その内壁に分解液8が接触せず、分解液8が気化した分解液ガスに内容器6内の炭化ケイ素化合物試料7が曝されるようになっていればよい。なお、分解液容器(図示せず)としては、分解液に対して耐溶性である材料により形成されており、開放された上部から分解液が収容されるものを用いることができる。
For example, the
内容器6は、テーブル5上に複数載置されてもよく、これにより、複数の炭化ケイ素化合物試料7を同時に分解することが可能である。内容器6の大きさは、収容された炭化ケイ素化合物試料7が、分解液8が気化した分解液ガスに十分に曝されるような大きさであれば特に限定されない。
A plurality of
(支持部4)
支持部4は、外容器部1内に設けられている。支持部4は、外容器部1内部の底面から突出するように設けられたスタンドと、スタンドの上部に設けられたテーブル5とを備えている。また、テーブル5は、外容器部1の側壁(内筒部3の側壁)の少なくとも2箇所から突出するように設けられた支持ピン(図示せず)により下から支えられるように設けられていてもよい。この場合、テーブル5と支持ピンとにより支持部4が構成される。
(Supporting part 4)
The
テーブル5は、スタンド又は支持ピンと一体形成されていてもよいし、別々に形成され、使用前に組み立てられてもよい。支持部4は、スタンドの高さを変更可能に構成されていてもよい。支持部4は、分解液8に対して耐溶性の材料により形成されていることが好ましい。
The table 5 may be formed integrally with a stand or a support pin, or may be formed separately and assembled before use. The
<テーブル5>
テーブル5上には、炭化ケイ素化合物試料7を収容した内容器6が載置される。テーブル5の径は、内筒部3の内径と同一であり、内筒部3の側壁に接触するように設けられている。また、テーブル5は、分解液ガスを通過するための孔が設けられた多孔体である。したがって、テーブル5に設けられた孔が、その下方に収容される分解液8が気化した分解液ガスの流路となり、分解液ガスが炭化ケイ素化合物試料7まで到達するようになっている。なお、テーブル5の内径を内筒部3の内径よりも小さくし、テーブル5と内筒部3の内壁との間に隙間ができるようにしてもよい。この場合、その隙間から分解液ガスが流れ込み、炭化ケイ素化合物試料7まで到達するので、テーブル5に孔が設けられていなくてもよい。
<Table 5>
On the table 5, the
以上のように、容器10を用いれば、分解液8を収容する耐圧性の外容器部1内に設けられた内容器6内に炭化ケイ素化合物試料7を収容し、外容器部1内を加熱して加圧することによって、分解液8が気化した分解液ガスにより炭化ケイ素化合物試料7が気相分解される。したがって、分解液8中に含まれる金属不純物や、外容器部1の内壁(内筒部3の内壁)及び内容器6の内壁に付着した金属不純物が、炭化ケイ素化合物試料7を分解して得られた測定試料中に混入するのを防ぐことができる。その結果、容器10を用いて炭化ケイ素化合物試料7を分解すれば、炭化ケイ素化合物試料7中に含まれる微量な金属をより正確に検出するような分析に供することができる。
As described above, when the
炭素原子からなる化合物試料は、硫酸、硝酸及び過塩素酸の混酸等の分解液を用いて大気圧下においても分解できることが知られている(例えば、参考文献1(「湿式酸化分解:クルクミン吸光光度法による黒鉛中ホウ素の定量」、渡部和男等、分析化学、44(11)、939-942、1995)を参照のこと)。一方、炭化ケイ素化合物試料7は、同様の分解液を用いても大気圧下では分解しない。すなわち、容器10を用いれば、炭素原子からなる化合物試料よりも難分解性の炭化ケイ素化合物試料7を分解することができるため、容器10を用いて炭素原子からなる化合物試料を分解できることは明らかである。
It is known that a compound sample composed of carbon atoms can be decomposed even under atmospheric pressure using a decomposition solution such as a mixed acid of sulfuric acid, nitric acid and perchloric acid (for example, Reference 1 (“Wet oxidative decomposition: curcumin absorption Quantitative determination of boron in graphite by photometric method ", Kazuo Watanabe et al., Analytical Chemistry, 44 (11), 939-942, 1995)). On the other hand, the silicon carbide compound sample 7 is not decomposed under atmospheric pressure even when a similar decomposition solution is used. That is, if the
なお、炭化ケイ素化合物試料7を分解する分解液8の種類、量等、炭化ケイ素化合物試料7を分解するために外容器部1に加えられる圧力及び熱、加圧及び加熱時間等の詳細については、後述する。
