Problems solved by technology

Although compared with the traditional method, the separation efficiency has been improved to a certain extent, but there are still problems such as cumbersome steps, more manual intervention, and time-consuming and labor-intensive problems.
Especially when the overflow liquid in the outer beaker (5) exceeds a certain volume, the separation needs to be stopped, and the overflow liquid in the outer beaker is transferred out, and continuous separation cannot be achieved
In 2015, Zhu et al. optimized the column length and diameter, sieve size, flow rate, separation time and other related parameters of the separation device to improve the recovery rate of microplastics to a certain extent. There is still a certain gap in the separation efficiency, and the recovery rate is unstable, the highest is 50.2% (Zhu X.Optimization of elutriation device forfiltration of microplastic particles from sediment.[J].Marine PollutionBulletin,2015,92(1-2):69 -72)
In May 2015, Zhang Haibo and others invented a continuous flow separation flotation device and method for micro-particle plastics on the above separation device (patent application number 201510227085.1). , vibrating screen, recovery tank and sample cup are connected by pipelines and peristaltic pumps, realizing semi-automatic continuous flow flotation of large-volume solid samples, but using air as the medium for separation and filtration is not easy to completely float microplastics, and the overall Complex structure, low recycling efficiency
In October 2016, Zhang Kai and others invented a microplastic separation method and device (authorized announcement number CN206106152U), which uses the method of filling the sample to be processed and the density solution inside the cylinder, fully stirs, and the suspension is left to stand. , extract the non-precipitated layer, and filter the microplastics to obtain the separated and extracted microplastics, and use the density solution as the medium to separate and filter the microplastics, but in actual operation, the suspension formed by the density solution and the microplastics is easy to adhere to the inner wall of the separation column, reducing the separation efficiency

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a pollutant separation and enrichment pretreatment device and method, in particular to a separation and enrichment device and method suitable for microplastics in solid phase media such as sediment, soil, and sludge. Background technique [0002] While the development of the plastics industry has brought convenience to the production and life of human society, a large amount of waste plastic waste has accumulated in the environment and entered the water and soil environment media from different ways. Under the synergistic effects of solar radiation, wind waves or ocean currents, , large plastic fragments decompose into smaller plastic fragments or particles; in 2004 Thompson first used microplastics to describe small-sized plastics [Thompson R C, Russell A E. Lost at sea: where is all theplastic? [J].Science,2004,304(5672):838], plastic fragments or particles with a diameter of less than 5 mm are defined as microplastics. Since...
