Rapid Fluorescent Probe Detection of Magnesium Impurities in High-Purity Lithium Carbonate Brine Systems.

ABSTRACT: The magnesium impurities in lithium carbonate cannot be detected quickly in an aqueous environment. To solve this bottleneck problem, this study proposes a new method for the rapid detection of trace Mg²⁺ in lithium carbonate using a water-soluble fluorescent probe. A water-soluble fluorescent probe A was obtained by introducing hydroxyl groups on a fluorescent oxazole ring. After modification, the hydrogen bonding between the probe and water molecules increased by more than 62 times. Consequently, the energy loss of outward transfer of the fluorescent probe increased, resulting in weak fluorescence in saline systems. Mg²⁺ was captured by N on the oxazole ring and O on the phenolic hydroxyl group through a 1:1 coordination ratio within the probe structure. The hydroge
