Introduction

Standard Background and Technological Evolution

With the advancement of refined copper smelting processes, the oxygen content in anode copper directly impacts the quality of electrolytic copper. YS/T 1230.4-2018 replaces traditional chemical methods with a pulsed heating infrared absorptometer for rapid oxygen determination, achieving a detection limit of 0.00005%, a two-order-of-magnitude improvement over the previous standard.


Principle and Technical Characteristics of the Method

Technical Indicators Required Parameters Comparison with Traditional Methods
Detection Principle Pulse Heating→CO/CO₂ Conversion→Infrared Detection Chemical Titration
Temperature Control ≥2400℃(6.5kW) Room Temperature Reaction
Analysis Time 50 seconds/sample 2 hours/sample

Key Operating Specifications

Specimen Preparation

The specimen must be treated with acetic acid etching (1+2) for 10 minutes, rinsed with ethanol, and then air-dried to prevent surface oxidation and deviation. Overheating is prohibited during processing, and iron impurities must be separated using a magnet.

Instrument calibration

Calibrate using Oxygen standard sample in copper, recommended operating parameters:

  • Degassing power: 3.5kW
  • Analysis power: 2.8kW
  • Flushing time: 30 seconds

Precision control

Tolerable deviation is determined by linear interpolation:

Oxygen content range Repeatability limit (r) Reproducibility limit (R)
0.0800% 0.0109% 0.0111%
0.300% 0.023% 0.027%

Implementation Suggestions

Typical Application Case

A smelter used a LECO ONH836 analyzer with a standard graphite crucible. When the anode copper oxygen content was measured at 0.211%, the difference between repeated measurements was 0.013%, meeting the standard requirement.

Troubleshooting Common Problems

  • Abnormal Blank Value: Check the activity of the rare earth copper oxide furnace (3.4) and replace the magnesium perchlorate (3.5).
  • Poor Linearity of Curve: Confirm that the purity of the power gas (3.2) is ≥99.99%.
