Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of microplastic migration and transformation, and in particular to a multifunctional experimental system for simulating the migration and transformation of microplastics in a landfill environment. Background Art
[0002] With the massive influx of plastic waste into solid waste landfill systems, landfills have become a significant source and destination of microplastics in the surface environment, posing a potential threat to surrounding ecosystems and groundwater resources. During long-term landfilling, plastic products fragment and decompose due to temperature fluctuations, oxidative aging, and microbial action, releasing vast quantities of microplastic particles. Furthermore, rainfall infiltration, anaerobic degradation of organic matter, and heat accumulation within the landfill trigger significant temperature and humidity fluctuations and the generation of landfill gases (such as methane and carbon dioxide), creating a dynamic, evolving heat-gas-water complex. Within this environment, microplastics may not only migrate with leachate into the surrounding soil and groundwater but also undergo complex adsorption-desorption, transformation, or co-migration behaviors at multiphase interfaces, such as solid-liquid and liquid-gas interfaces. Furthermore, landfill environments are generally characterized by unsaturation, heterogeneity, and slow-varying properties. These multi-scale, multi-process coupling effects profoundly influence the spatiotemporal behavior of microplastics and the contaminants they carry. Existing research still finds it difficult to systematically characterize the migration and transformation mechanism of microplastics under such complex landfill conditions. There is an urgent need to build a controllable, observable and repeatable experimental platform to reveal its environmental fate and risk characteristics.
[0003] Patent application document CN105300843A discloses a column device that can simulate the migration of pollutants under different hydrogeological conditions, including a pollutant delivery device, a temperature control device, a pressure measuring device, a medium filling device and a sample collection device. The pollutant delivery device includes a syringe, a syringe pump, and a silicone tube; the temperature control device includes a water bath thermostat, a peristaltic pump, a temperature sensor probe, a thermometer, a spiral tube and a plexiglass tube; the pressure measuring device includes a pressure sensor probe, a pressure gauge and a wire; the medium filling device includes a stainless steel tube, a 200-mesh stainless steel mesh, an internal thread two-way pagoda and a constant temperature box; the sample collection device includes a collection probe, a sample rack and a console.
[0004] At present, some research has designed simulation experimental devices for pollutant migration and transformation behavior. Common systems are mostly based on columnar reactors, with liquid inflow and sampling units, used to study the vertical migration characteristics of pollutants in soil. This type of device mainly includes: a packing column, a sampling system, a liquid outlet system, a sampling port, an embedded sensor, and an automatic sample collector. The sampling system inputs pollutants into the packing column. During the vertical migration of pollutants along the column, the embedded sensor can monitor the changes in environmental parameters, and the sampling port can be used to obtain offline samples at different depths. After the pollutants penetrate to the bottom of the column, they are discharged through the liquid outlet system and dynamically and automatically sampled and collected in segments by the automatic sample collector, providing a data basis for subsequent pollutant analysis.
[0005] However, there are the following defects: (1) Although a variety of pollutant migration experimental devices have been used to study soil and groundwater pollution behavior, most of these devices use the vadose zone as the simulation object and focus on the geochemical processes and pollutant migration behavior in the saturated aquifer. The interior of the landfill is often accompanied by physical squeezing, seepage sedimentation, dissolution and release of pollutants, and metabolic transformation of microorganisms, showing multi-field coupling and nonlinear dynamic change characteristics; at the same time, under the effects of long-term rainfall infiltration, anaerobic decomposition of microorganisms, and accumulation of pollutants, a microenvironment with high organic load, high temperature, high salt, and strong reducing properties is formed. (2) Existing pollutant migration experimental devices are generally based on idealized saturated porous media and lack systematic simulation of key elements in the real landfill environment. In particular, they lack consideration of the dynamic generation process of landfill gases such as methane, the complex multiphase migration behavior of pollutants in the unsaturated zone, and the significant impact of the gas-liquid interface on the transformation and distribution of pollutants. As a result, the experimental results cannot truly reflect the migration and transformation mechanism of pollutants such as microplastics in the landfill environment under multi-field coupling conditions, which seriously limits its effectiveness and representativeness in landfill pollution control and risk assessment.

These sampling ports can be inserted into the fill soil, enabling vertical cross-sectional sampling without disturbing the overall soil structure. The outer wall of the columnar migration device 1 is coated with a flexible heating film 302, forming a temperature control system. Connected to a temperature controller 301, the internal temperature of the column can be adjusted according to experimental needs, simulating the high-temperature environment within a landfill.

The decompressed gas enters micro-nano bubble generator 402 through a gas hose. Micro-nano bubble generator 402 is equipped with a micro-bubble aeration head 403, which is partially immersed in a pre-set body of water. This head generates a highly dispersed bubble-water solution at the gas-liquid interface. This solution is quantitatively extracted and transported by a second peristaltic pump 404 connected downstream, simulating the generation, migration, and gas-liquid interface of landfill gas.
[0022] The existing sampling port was replaced with a standardized embedded sensor interface for integrating multiple types of in-situ online monitoring sensors. This sensor interface is compatible with sensors for water quality, gas, temperature, conductivity, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), dissolved oxygen (DO), and other parameters, enabling continuous monitoring and real-time data acquisition at various depths. Furthermore, the sensor interface facilitates integration with data acquisition systems and cloud-based data platforms, providing continuous and reliable data support for subsequent data analysis, modeling, and forecasting.
[0023] Integrated visualization or image monitoring technology can be implemented, with a viewing window or image acquisition system (such as a high-resolution CCD) installed in the column to assist in observing microscopic processes such as microplastic migration patterns and gas-liquid-solid interface interactions. In complex microplastic systems, image contrast can be enhanced through fluorescent tracing or color development, further improving the clarity of observation of interfacial processes.

The flexible heating film 302 is connected to the temperature controller 301 through the temperature control module, which can set and maintain the required temperature range (25-75°C) for the experimental environment inside the column. The flexible heating film 302 is connected to the wire 33 through the temperature control connector 31. The integrated heating element 32 is attached to the surface of the column to provide a uniform and controllable heating environment.
[0027] 4. Connect The gas cylinder 401 starts the micro-nano bubble generator 402 and slowly injects micro-nano methane bubbles from the bottom to form a gas-liquid coexistence environment and simulate the landfill gas production conditions.
[0028] 5. Combine the prepared microplastic suspension 201 and the generated Micro-nano bubbles are pumped in from the bottom, starting at 0 PV. After flowing out from the top, the outflow liquid is collected by an automatic collector, and the change of pollutant concentration in the outflow liquid over time is measured.
[0029] 6. After continuously injecting 10 PV of the microplastic suspension, continue to pump deionized water through the first peristaltic pump 202, maintaining the same flow rate and environmental conditions to promote further migration and diffusion of microplastics in the porous medium, and continue for 5 PV.
[0030] 7. Stop water injection and close temperature control device 3. Wait until the temperature drops to room temperature. Connect sampling valve 503 to columnar migration device 1 via a removable sealed threaded interface 504. Open sampling valve 503 and collect soil samples after the experiment using sampler 502. Soil samples collected at different depths are freeze-dried, mixed with a background solution, and ultrasonically separated. The concentration of microplastics in the suspension is measured to determine the spatial distribution characteristics of the microplastics within the column.
