新疆汉代羊毛织物染料的飞行时间二次离子质谱表征

Characterization of Dyes for Han Dynasty Wool Fabrics in Xinjiang by Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry

  • 摘要: 汉代女性干尸着鲜艳的红-蓝-浅黄三色羊毛纤维编制的华丽服饰,本研究以织物片段作为研究样本,主要采用飞行时间二次离子质谱(TOF-SIMS)法对其染料进行表征。离子成像与高质量分辨数据显示:红色纤维表面产生汞同位素离子(202Hg+199Hg+)、汞-硫离子(HgS+m/z 234)、硫同位素离子(32S34S)等,指示其染料属于天然无机矿物朱砂(HgS);蓝色纤维则出现目标化合物的准分子离子m/z 263(M+H+),以及合理的碎片离子系列,如m/z 235(C15H11N2O+)和m/z 247(C16H11N2O+)等,指示其呈色来自经典天然植物有机染料靛蓝(C16H10N2O2,分子质量262.074 2);浅黄纤维未检出有机染料(如姜黄)或无机染料(如铁黄),其呈色可能是白色羊毛自然老化陈旧所致。本工作表明,擅长微区原位与超高灵敏度检测的TOF-SIMS法既适用于有机染料分析,也适用于无机染料分析,该方法有望在考古和博物馆馆藏相关研究中获得广泛应用。

     

    Abstract: In Xinjiang, China, a female corpse dating back to the Han Dynasty was discovered adorned in splendid attire crafted from wool fibers dyed in vibrant shades of red, blue, and light yellow. This study utilized fabric fragments as research specimens to analyze the dyes present, primarily employing time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS), in conjunction with optical microscopy, ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-HRMS) and a mercury vapor analyzer for precise characterization. The TOF-SIMS analysis revealed the presence of mercury isotopic ions (202Hg+ and 199Hg+), mercury-sulfur ions (HgS+, m/z 234), sulfur isotopic ions (32S and 34S) on the surface of the red fiber samples. These findings suggest the utilization of cinnabar (HgS), a naturally occurring inorganic mineral dye, in the red fibers. Moreover, mercury content measurements indicated a significant enrichment of mercury in the red fibers, with the Hg content of 84 ng/g, markedly higher than the average Hg content of other fibers, which stood at 31 ng/g. Analysis of the blue fiber samples detected the quasi-molecular ion m/z 263 (M+H+) and a series of reasonable fragment ions, such as m/z 235 (C15H11N2O+) and m/z 247 (C16H11N2O+), indicative of the presence of indigo, a natural plant-based organic dye. UPLC-HRMS analysis further confirmed the presence of indigo in the blue fabric samples, providing cross-validation of the dye used. The light yellow fiber samples did not yield detections of common organic dyes like turmeric or inorganic pigments such as iron-yellow (Fe2O3H2O). The yellow hue observed in these fibers may be attributed to the natural aging of the original white wool, remaining undyed. Additionally, granular water-soluble inorganic ions such as NaCl, carbonate, and sulfate were detected within the yellow fabric samples. This study underscores the efficacy of the TOF-SIMS method for in-situ microanalysis and ultra-high sensitivity detection, rendering it is suitable for the analysis of both organic dye and inorganic dye. Moreover, TOF-SIMS will be widely used in archaeological and museum collections related research.
