Embodiment 1

[0054] Select 5 sampling points (S1, S2, S3, S4, S5) from the seabed sediments collected by an organization in the vicinity of China's coastal waters, weigh 500g of the crude product and place it on a watch plate to air-dry to remove large stones and biomass and sundries to obtain Sediment A; place Sediment A in a mortar and grind it, and use a steel sieve with a large aperture of 5-10 mm to sieve to obtain Sediment B; weigh 300 g of Sediment B in a beaker, and add Stir with 10mL of deionized water, slowly add 20mL of 30% hydrogen peroxide dropwise, and after about 3 hours of reaction, dry in an oven at 80°C and grind to obtain sediment C, which is used as a sediment sample for sieving microplastics. Preparation of flotation liquid: at room temperature, prepare saturated sodium chloride solution and alkaline rhamnolipid aqueous solution and mix them in a ratio of 8:2 as the flotation liquid for later use.

[0055] Such as figure 1 As shown, add the pre-treated sediment sample...

Embodiment 2

[0063] Weigh 2.04g of purchased linear low-density polyethylene particles (with a particle size of about 2-3mm), and count 85 particles under a stereomicroscope, add them to a 250mL beaker filled with 300g of soil, and mix them evenly as a simulated sample. Sediment samples.

[0064] Add the simulated sediment sample prepared in the sample bottle; the prepared flotation solution is saturated sodium chloride solution; the selection of the screen is the upper sieve pan (40 mesh sieve), the middle sieve pan (not put) and the lower sieve Sieve the disc (common filter paper), and dry the obtained sample in an oven at 80° C., and the other operating steps are consistent with Example 1.

[0065] A total of 2.09g of microplastic particles were obtained in the final three-layer sieving, and 85 microplastic particles were observed and counted under a stereo microscope, and the obtained plastic particles were dried and processed. The recovery rate of its samples reaches 100%, and there ...

Embodiment 3

[0067] Weigh 1.54g of purchased polypropylene plastic granules (particle size 2-3mm), put them into a pulverizer and pulverize them for 5 minutes, add all the obtained plastic pulverized granules into a 250mL beaker filled with 300g of soil, mix Uniform, as a simulated sediment sample.

[0068] Add the simulated sediment sample prepared in the sample bottle; the prepared flotation solution is a saturated sodium chloride solution; the selection of the screen is the upper sieve pan (40 mesh sieve), the middle sieve pan (100 mesh sieve) and the lower sieving disc (0.45 μm filter membrane), other operating steps are consistent with Example 1.

[0069] A total of 1.46g of microplastic particles were obtained in the final three-layer sieving, and the recovery rate of the sample reached 94.8%. Among them, the microplastic particles in the lower sieving tray contained a little sediment.

Abstract

The invention provides an enrichment device for quickly and continuously separating micro-plastics and a use method thereof. The device comprises a flotation liquid circulating part and a sample separating and enriching part, wherein the flotation liquid circulating part comprises a peristaltic pump, a liquid storing bottle, a flow meter, a suction filtration barrel, a vacuum pump and a guide pipe; the sample separating and enriching part comprises an ultrasonic generating device, a sample bottle, a flotation pipe, a stirring rod and multiple stages of sieving disks; the suction filtration barrel is placed in the ultrasonic generating device; the sample bottle is placed in the suction filtration barrel, the flotation pipe is assembled on the sample bottle, and finally, a plurality of sieving disks are nested outside the flotation pipe; the stirring rod is extended into the sample bottle; the suction filtration barrel is connected with the vacuum pump; and filter screens or filter membranes with different particle sizes are placed in the sieving disks. The device provided by the invention is designed based on the principle of density separation and has the following characteristics:the flotation liquid is circularly used among the three parts, so that the economic cost is lowered, and secondary pollution is avoided; and by the arrangement of the multiple stages of sieving disks, micro-plastic particles with different particle sizes can be continuously subdivided, so that the separation efficiency is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an extraction device for rapidly separating microplastics, in particular to an enrichment device for rapidly and continuously separating microplastics and a method for using the same. Background technique [0002] Compared with materials such as wood and metal, plastic products are low in cost and have advantages such as greater weight strength, lower thermal conductivity, durability and biological inertness. They are used in various fields, for example, from household products to personal Hygienic products, from the packaging industry to construction materials and so on. While enjoying the great convenience brought by plastic products, the problem of garbage pollution from a large number of plastic products also plagues people. A large amount of plastic waste is discharged into the aquatic environment, especially in the ocean. Large pieces of plastic products are gradually decomposed into small particles of plastic through p...
