Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of water environment monitoring equipment, in particular to a system for graded collection of microplastics in flowing (rivers, oceans) or static (lakes, harbors) environmental water bodies and synchronous monitoring of the flow velocity, water depth and water temperature of the water bodies. Background technique [0002] Due to the characteristics of plastics such as wear resistance, corrosion resistance, stability, light weight, firmness, and low cost, plastics are widely used in various fields of modern life. Due to the renewal and waste of plastics, a large amount of plastic waste is discharged into the environment, and plastic waste is difficult to degrade, easy to absorb pollutants and microorganisms, and the ecological environment problems caused by it have become the focus of attention of countries all over the world. In 2004, Thompson et al. (2004) first proposed the concept of "microplastics". The ...

Problems solved by technology

This device can only be used for microplastic sampling in surface water, and cannot realize microplastic sampling in water at different depths, which is not conducive to the scientific evaluation of microplastic pollution in water bodies in three-dimensional space

[0006] CN108344600A discloses a synchronous collection system for multi-particle size microplastic samples in different depths of water, which realizes the synchronous collection of microplastic samples of different depths and different particle sizes. The used continuous type collector, nested type collector or sampling The bottle-type collector connects multiple sampling nets together by connecting or nesting to realize synchronous collection of multi-size microplastic samples. It is still a trawl sampling mode in essence, and is easily affected by wind waves and waves generated by hull navigation. The sampling depth is not fixed, it is prone to tilt, the volume of the trawl water body has a large deviation, the calculation result is inaccurate, and the microplastic sample is easy to attach to the net, resulting in unclean washing and serious sample residue, which directly affects the quantitative analysis of the sample

During use, the vertical section fluctuates up and down due to the influence of wind and waves, resulting in the inability to fix the depth of the sampling water layer with large errors

When the weather and navigation conditions change during the actual use of the whole system (especially dynamic water bodies such as rivers), in order to ensure the stability of the vertical sampling section, it is necessary to adjust the installation position of the towing rope, towing angle, The length of the tow ro...
