Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of reference materials, and particularly to a seawater chemical oxygen demand solution reference material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Chemical oxygen demand (COD) refers to the amount of chemical oxygen required to completely oxidize organic matter in a water sample under certain conditions, which reflects the degree of pollution of water by reducing substances, especially organic matter. As an important indicator for evaluating water quality, the larger the COD, the more serious the pollution of the water body by organic matter.
[0003] With the acceleration of industrialization and urbanization, the problem of marine environmental pollution is becoming increasingly serious. A large amount of industrial wastewater, domestic sewage, and agricultural non-point source pollution are continuously discharged into the ocean, resulting in an increasing content of organic matter in seawater. These organic matters not only consume the oxygen in seawater, causing water body hypoxia, but also cause serious damage to the marine ecosystem. Therefore, timely and accurate monitoring and grasping of the content of seawater COD is of great significance for the safety of the marine ecological environment, comprehensive pollution prevention and control, and early warning and forecasting of ecological disasters.
[0004] In China, the research on reference materials for seawater started relatively late, and the reference materials for monitoring seawater quality are still relatively scarce. At present, although there is a seawater chemical oxygen demand solution reference material, the raw material used is glucose. Due to the large difference in the oxidation-reduction characteristics between glucose and organic pollutants in seawater (such as petroleum hydrocarbons and phenolic compounds), and glucose is easily decomposed by microorganisms, resulting in extremely unstable data, the validity period of seawater chemical oxygen demand solution reference materials on the market is less than 1 year. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a seawater chemical oxygen demand solution reference material with low cost, long validity period, and accurate and reliable value determination method. Summary of the Invention
[0005] For this reason, the embodiments of the present invention provide a seawater chemical oxygen demand solution reference material and a preparation method thereof. The reaction equation of phenol and potassium permanganate under acidic conditions is:
[0006] 5C6H5OH + 4KMnO4 + 6H2SO4 → 5C6H4O2 + 4MnSO4 + 2K2SO4 + 11H2O
[0007] The chemical reaction equation of phenol oxygen consumption is:
[0008] 2C6H5OH + O2 → 2C6H4O2 + 2H2O
[0009] From the above reaction equation, it can be obtained that every 2 moles of phenol will consume 1 mole of oxygen to produce 2 moles of benzoquinone. The mass concentration coefficient of phenol and oxygen is 5.875, that is, a phenol solution with a concentration of 1 mg / L corresponds to a seawater chemical oxygen demand solution standard substance with a concentration of 0.170 mg / L. Compared with the standard substance prepared from glucose, the seawater chemical oxygen demand solution standard substance prepared by the present invention has a validity period of up to 2 years, and the value determination method is accurate and reliable, and is not affected by reaction conditions.
[0010] In order to achieve the above object, the embodiments of the present invention provide the following technical solutions:

[0013] Further, the amount of phenol used is 0.02937 g to 2.93752 g.

[0018] Further, the seawater chemical oxygen demand is detected by the acid potassium permanganate titration method for oxygen consumption 44.1 in GB 8538 "National Food Safety Standard - Inspection Methods for Drinking Natural Mineral Water".

[0027] Example 1 Seawater Chemical Oxygen Demand Solution Reference Material with a Concentration of 5 mg / L
[0028] This example provides a preparation method, value verification, and stability test for a seawater chemical oxygen demand solution reference material with a concentration of 5 mg / L.
[0029] 1. Preparation Method
[0030] The preparation method of the above seawater chemical oxygen demand solution reference material includes the following steps:
[0031] (1)Prepare simulated seawater containing 26.5 g of sodium chloride, 3.31 g of magnesium sulfate, 2.5 g of magnesium chloride, 1.14 g of calcium chloride, 0.725 g of potassium chloride, 0.202 g of sodium bicarbonate, and 0.083 g of sodium bromide in every 1000 mL of water.

[0035] 2. Quantity value verification
[0036] Randomly select 3 bottles of reference materials, repeat the determination 2 times for each bottle by the acid potassium permanganate titration method, compare the measured data with the values obtained by theoretical calculation, and calculate the relative deviation. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0037]
[0038] 3. Stability test
[0039] The stability study of reference materials usually includes short-term stability study and long-term stability study. Short-term stability refers to the stability of the characteristic quantity value of the reference material during transportation under specified transportation conditions, which is related to the additional effects caused by the transportation of the reference material and the packaging. Long-term stability refers to the stability of the characteristic quantity value of the reference material under the specific storage conditions required in the reference material certificate, which is related to its production, development, use, and storage conditions.
[0040] Place the reference materials in storage at 60 °C. Take 1 sample at each time point of 0 day, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 5 days, 9 days, and 14 days, and conduct parallel determinations 3 times to investigate the short-term stability. The results are shown in Table 2, indicating that the short-term stability of this reference material is good.

As shown in Table 3, the results indicate that the reference material can be stably stored for 2 years.

[0069]
[0070] Comparative Example 1 Seawater chemical oxygen demand solution reference material with a concentration of 100 mg / L
[0071] This comparative example provides a seawater chemical oxygen demand solution reference material with a concentration of 100 mg / L, which is prepared with glucose as the solute and simulated seawater as the solvent.
[0072] 1. Preparation method
[0073] The preparation method of the above seawater chemical oxygen demand solution reference material includes the following steps:
[0074] (1) Prepare simulated seawater, which contains 26.5 g of sodium chloride, 3.31 g of magnesium sulfate, 2.5 g of magnesium chloride, 1.14 g of calcium chloride, 0.725 g of potassium chloride, 0.202 g of sodium bicarbonate, and 0.083 g of sodium bromide in every 1000 mL of water.
[0075] (2) Accurately weigh 0.09375 g of glucose (calculated as 100% pure glucose), dissolve it with simulated seawater, transfer it to a 1000 mL volumetric flask, and make up to the mark with simulated seawater, then shake well to prepare a glucose solution with a concentration of 93.75 mg / L, corresponding to a seawater chemical oxygen demand of 100 mg / L.
[0076] (3) Seal the solution into clean 20 mL ampoules and store them under refrigeration and light protection.
[0077] (4) Conduct a stability test on the seawater chemical oxygen demand solution reference material according to the acid potassium permanganate titration method for oxygen consumption 44.1 in GB 8538 "National Food Safety Standard - Inspection Methods for Drinking Natural Mineral Water" (the reference material needs to be diluted 20 times with simulated seawater before detection). The stability test results are shown in Table 6. It can be seen from Table 6 that the seawater chemical oxygen demand solution reference material prepared with glucose has poor stability and begins to degrade after 6 months, while the seawater chemical oxygen demand solution reference material prepared with phenol remains stable after 24 months of storage.
[0078]
[0079] Comparative Example 2 Seawater chemical oxygen demand solution reference material with a concentration of 100 mg / L
[0080] This comparative example provides a seawater chemical oxygen demand solution reference material with a concentration of 100 mg / L, prepared with potassium hydrogen phthalate as the solute and simulated seawater as the solvent.
[0081] 1. Preparation method
[0082] The preparation method of the above seawater chemical oxygen demand solution reference material includes the following steps:
[0083] (1) Prepare simulated seawater, containing 26.5 g of sodium chloride, 3.31 g of magnesium sulfate, 2.5 g of magnesium chloride, 1.14 g of calcium chloride, 0.725 g of potassium chloride, 0.202 g of sodium bicarbonate, and 0.083 g of sodium bromide in every 1000 mL of water.
[0084] (2) Accurately weigh 0.08519 g of potassium hydrogen phthalate (potassium hydrogen phthalate with a purity converted to 100%). After dissolving it with simulated seawater, transfer it to a 1000 mL volumetric flask, and make up the volume to the mark with simulated seawater, then shake well to prepare a glucose solution with a concentration of 85.19 mg / L, corresponding to a seawater chemical oxygen demand of 100 mg / L.
[0085] (3) Seal the solution into clean 20 mL ampoules and store it refrigerated and protected from light.

The verification results are shown in Table 7. It can be seen from Table 7 that the detection results of the seawater chemical oxygen demand solution reference material prepared with potassium hydrogen phthalate are quite different from the prepared values. The possible reason for the analysis is that there are a large number of ions in the simulated seawater that will affect the solubility of potassium hydrogen phthalate, resulting in a lower detection result.
[0087]
[0088] Test Example 1 Uncertainty Evaluation
[0089] Taking Example 2 as an example, the uncertainty evaluation is carried out. The main sources of uncertainty in the concentration of the solution reference material are as follows: the uncertainty caused by the purity of the raw materials; the uncertainty caused by the solution preparation process; the uncertainty caused by the inhomogeneity and instability of the sample.
[0090] 1. Uncertainty introduced by the purity of raw materials
[0091] The uncertainty introduced by the purity of raw materials is 0.0037%.
[0092] 2. Uncertainty caused by the solution preparation process
[0093] The uncertainty in the solution preparation process is introduced by the balance and volume fixing during the solution preparation process.
[0094] 2.1 Relative uncertainty of the balance, \(u_{balance,rel}\)
[0095] (1) Repeatability error of balance weighing: According to the balance verification certificate, for a sample weighing 0.58751 g, the maximum allowable repeatability error is 0.15 mg. The net weight of the sample is obtained from 2 weighing operations, and each is an independent observation result. Its relative standard uncertainty is
[0096]
[0097] (2) Indication error of balance: According to the balance verification certificate, for a sample weighing 0.58751 g, the maximum allowable indication error is 0.05 mg. The net weight of the sample is obtained from 2 weighing operations, and each is an independent observation result. Then the relative standard uncertainty is
[0098]
[0099] (3) Buoyancy effect: Weighing is carried out under normal pressure, and the weighing volume is small, so this item can be ignored.
[0100] Therefore, the relative standard uncertainty introduced by the balance, \(u_{balance,rel}\), is 0.022%.
[0101] 2.2 Relative uncertainty of the fixed volume, \(u_{volume,rel}\)
[0102] There are mainly three factors affecting the fixed volume: the maximum allowable difference in the volumetric flask volume, the repeatability of volume fixing, and temperature.
[0103] The volumetric flask used in the solution preparation process is 1000 mL.
[0104] (1) Maximum allowable tolerance of volumetric flask volume: From the volumetric flask verification certificate, the maximum allowable tolerance of a 1000 mL volumetric flask is 0.4 mL. Assuming a uniform distribution, its relative standard uncertainty is
[0105]
[0106] (2) Repeatability of volume fixing: For a 5000 mL volumetric flask filled and weighed 10 times, the standard deviation is obtained as 0.2 mL. Then its relative uncertainty is 0.2 / 1000×100% = 0.02%.
[0107] (3) Temperature effect: The temperature during the preparation of the solution standard substance in this experiment varies between ±3 °C. The volume expansion coefficient of water is 2.5×10 -4 mL•°C -1 , assuming a uniform distribution, the relative standard uncertainty is
[0108]
[0109] Combining the components of the above three factors, the relative standard uncertainty u_volume_rel introduced by the constant-volume is 0.050%.
[0110] 3. Uncertainty caused by the inhomogeneity and instability of the sample
[0111] The uncertainty caused by the inhomogeneity and instability of the sample is 0.43%.
[0112] Combining each relative uncertainty component, the relative combined standard uncertainty u_rel of the reference material is obtained as 0.44%. Taking the coverage factor k = 2, U_rel = 0.44% × 2 ≈ 0.9%.
[0113] Although the present invention has been described in detail with general descriptions and specific embodiments above, based on the present invention, some modifications or improvements can be made, which are obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, these modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention all fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
