Microplastics can greatly increase the concentration of environmental pollution, adsorb heavy metals and organic pollutants, and once they enter the food chain, they will pose a threat to biological health and ecosystem safety. Therefore, studying the generation process of microplastics is of great importance to environmental protection and public safety.

[0040] Example six
[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 The difference between this embodiment and the above-mentioned embodiments is that the air flow control system 6 includes an air pressure balance tank 61, the inlet and outlet ends of the air pressure balance tank 61 are respectively connected to the air return pipe 62 and the air supply pipe 63, one end of the air supply pipe 63 is in communication with the lower end inside the reactor 2, and the air supply pipe 63 is connected to the air pressure circulating pump 64, the lower end inside the reactor 2 is also paved with a gravel layer 67, one end of the air return pipe 62 is in communication with the upper end inside the reactor 2, and the air pressure balance assembly is installed inside the air pressure balance tank 61, which can adjust the size of the gas chamber inside the air pressure balance tank 61 according to the air pressure inside the air pressure balance tank 61, so that the air pressure balance tank 61 is in a constant pressure state.
[0042] During the test, the air pressure circulating pump 64 aerates the bottom end of the reactor 2 through the air supply pipe 63, and a waterproof air-permeable membrane is installed at the aeration end of the air supply pipe 63 to prevent the leachate from flowing back through the air supply pipe 63, then the gas flows upward through the gravel layer 67, enters the sample, and continuously flows upward through the sample gap to simulate the gas flow load in the landfill, at the same time, the gas at the upper end inside the reactor 2 is sucked into the air pressure circulating pump 64 through the air return pipe 62 and the air pressure balance tank 61, thereby realizing the circulating flow of the gas, preventing the toxic waste gas generated by degradation in the reactor 2 from being discharged, and at the same time, making the aeration gas flow contain landfill degradation waste gas, which can further improve the environmental simulation effect and improve the test accuracy; And in the process of the test, with the degradation of the sample, the air permeability of the sample will fluctuate, causing the air pressure in the air flow circulation pipeline to fluctuate, affecting the normal work of the air flow regulation and the air pressure circulating pump 64, at this time, the air pressure balance assembly can adjust the size of the gas chamber inside the air pressure balance tank 61 according to the air pressure in the air pressure balance tank 61, so that the air pressure balance tank 61 is in a constant pressure state, thereby improving the stability of the air flow in the air flow circulation pipeline and the sample, which is beneficial to improve the accuracy of the plastic degradation test; and with the test, the sample in the reactor 2 will gradually degrade to produce waste gas, so that the overall air pressure in the reactor 2 and the air flow circulation pipeline gradually increases, at this time the gas chamber inside the air pressure balance tank 61 is increased synchronously, thereby adjusting and reducing the overall air pressure in the reactor 2 and the air flow circulation pipeline, so that the air pressure is kept in a state of nearly constant pressure, thereby improving the air pressure stability in the reactor 2 and the air flow circulation pipeline, further improving the accuracy of the plastic degradation test.
[0043] Further, the air pressure balance assembly includes a piston 68 and a threaded sleeve 611, the piston 68 is sealingly and slidingly installed inside the air pressure balance tank 61 to isolate one end of the air pressure balance tank 61 in communication with the gas return conduit 62 to form a sealed chamber, and the end of the piston 68 opposite to the sealed chamber is abutted and installed with a pressure balance spring 69; Wherein, the piston 68 inside the air pressure balance tank 61 is balanced under the left air pressure and the elastic force of the right pressure balance spring 69, during the air flow circulation conveying process, when the air pressure inside the air pressure balance tank 61 increases, the piston 68 slides to the right under the air pressure, thereby increasing the gas storage space inside the air pressure balance tank 61 to adjust and reduce the air pressure, correspondingly, when the air pressure inside the air pressure balance tank 61 decreases, the piston 68 moves to the left under the elastic force of the pressure balance spring 69, thereby reducing the gas storage space inside the air pressure balance tank 61 to adjust and increase the air pressure.
[0044] Further, the threaded sleeve 611 is fixedly installed on the end of the air pressure balance tank 61 opposite to the sealed chamber, the threaded sleeve 611 is internally threaded with an adjusting bolt 612, one end of the adjusting bolt 612 is rotationally installed with a pressure adjusting plate 610, and the pressure adjusting plate 610 abuts one end of the pressure balance spring 69; Wherein, by rotating the adjusting bolt 612, the adjusting bolt 612 can move left and right along the threaded sleeve 611, thereby adjusting the position of the pressure adjusting plate 610 and the elastic force of the pressure balance spring 69, and further adjusting the air pressure in the air flow circulation pipeline inside the air pressure balance tank 61, so that the test device can perform plastic degradation tests under different air flow loads, making the test data more comprehensive and accurate; Specifically, when the test gas pressure needs to be adjusted to increase, the adjusting screw 612 is rotated to drive the pressure adjusting plate 610 to move left in the gas pressure balance tank 61, at this time, the pressure adjusting plate 610 drives the piston 68 to move left through the pressure balance spring 69, so that the gas storage space in the gas pressure balance tank 61 is reduced and the pressure is increased; correspondingly, when the test gas pressure needs to be adjusted to decrease, the adjusting screw 612 is rotated in the opposite direction to drive the pressure adjusting plate 610 to move right in the gas pressure balance tank 61, at this time, the pressure adjusting plate 610 releases the extrusion of the pressure balance spring 69, so that the elastic force of the pressure balance spring 69 is reduced; then the piston 68 moves right under the action of the gas pressure, so that the gas storage space in the gas pressure balance tank 61 is increased and the pressure is reduced.
[0045] Further, the gas return pipe 62 is connected with the gas pressure gauge 65 and the pressure relief valve 66; with the generation of degradation waste gas, the gas pressure in the gas circulation pipeline will gradually increase, when the gas pressure in the gas return pipe 62 is detected to be too large through the gas pressure gauge 65, the pressure relief valve 66 can be opened to discharge the waste gas, preventing the excessive gas pressure from affecting the normal test, and the pressure relief valve 66 is communicated with the air purifier through a pipe, so that the waste gas can be discharged after being purified, preventing the waste gas from polluting the environment.
