Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of soil technology, specifically to a hardware system for detecting and remediating soil heavy metal pollution based on isotope tracing. Background Technology
[0002] Heavy metals are the most prominent inorganic pollutants in soil, mainly because they cannot be decomposed by soil microorganisms and are easily accumulated. They can transform into more toxic methyl compounds, and some can even accumulate in the human body at harmful concentrations through the food chain, seriously endangering human health. Major heavy metal pollutants in soil include mercury, cadmium, lead, copper, chromium, arsenic, nickel, iron, manganese, and zinc. Although arsenic is not classified as a heavy metal, its behavior, sources, and hazards are similar to heavy metals, so it is usually discussed in the heavy metal category. In terms of plant needs, metallic elements can be divided into two categories: ① Elements not needed for plant growth and development but with significant health risks, such as cadmium, mercury, and lead. ② Elements necessary for normal plant growth and development, and which also have certain physiological functions for humans, such as copper and zinc, but excessive amounts can cause pollution and hinder plant growth and development.
[0003] Heavy metal pollution in soil is a challenging issue in current environmental remediation, and traditional detection and remediation methods have the following limitations: Conventional chemical analysis methods are time-consuming and difficult to obtain real-time data on the dynamic migration of heavy metals, and cannot reflect the spatial heterogeneity of pollution. Existing technologies mostly rely on physicochemical remediation (such as rinsing and solidification), which are costly and easily damage the soil ecosystem; The synergistic effect of phytoremediation and microbial remediation lacks a quantitative model, making it difficult to maximize remediation efficiency.
[0004] To address these issues, a hardware system for detecting and remediating heavy metal pollution in soil based on isotope tracing is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention provides a hardware system for soil heavy metal pollution detection and remediation based on isotope tracing. Through multi-source data fusion and intelligent algorithm optimization, it achieves accurate location, dynamic monitoring and efficient remediation of heavy metal pollution, thereby solving the problems of insufficient detection accuracy, single remediation strategy and lack of coordinated regulation mentioned in the background technology.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a hardware system for soil heavy metal pollution detection and remediation based on isotope tracing, comprising the following modules: An isotope tracing module, including an isotope injection device, an isotope detection sensor, and a path analysis unit, is used to track the migration paths of heavy metals in soil through stable isotope labeling technology. The heavy metal detection module integrates a multispectral sensor and an electrochemical analysis unit to collect data on the concentration, type, and distribution of heavy metals in soil in real time. The repair execution module includes an automatically deployed repair plant planting unit and a microbial repair agent release device. The repair plant is a hyperaccumulating plant, and the microbial repair agent contains heavy metal immobilized bacteria. The real-time monitoring module includes optical sensors, electrochemical sensors, X-ray fluorescence spectrometers, and heavy metal dynamic migration imaging units, which are used to monitor the content, location, and speciation parameters of heavy metals in soil in real time and to generate a multi-dimensional environmental parameter matrix. The intelligent control module, based on dynamic migration imaging data and environmental parameter matrix, dynamically adjusts the planting density of remediation plants and the release strategy of microbial remediation agents through an optimized algorithm model. The data storage and transmission module is used to store various data during the entire system operation process, including isotope labeling information, monitoring data, repair strategies and control instructions, and transmit the data to the remote monitoring center for data analysis and remote control.
[0007] Furthermore, the isotope tracing module uses stable isotopes and radioactive isotopes as tracers, and adds the tracers to the soil sample through a specific isotope labeling device.
[0008] Furthermore, in the isotope tracing module, the stable isotope is at least one of zinc-68, cadmium-114, or lead-206, and the path analysis unit establishes a three-dimensional model of the heavy metal migration path through radioactive decay signals and mass fractionation effects.
[0009] Furthermore, the optical sensor is used to detect the characteristic spectrum emitted by the isotopically labeled heavy metal; The electrochemical sensor is used to measure the electrochemical signals of heavy metals in soil; The X-ray fluorescence spectrometer is used to rapidly determine the content of various heavy metals in soil.
[0010] Furthermore, in the heavy metal detection module, the multispectral sensor operates in the 400-2500nm band. Combined with the differential pulse voltammetry of the electrochemical analysis unit, the heavy metal spectral characteristics and electrochemical signals are fused and analyzed through a convolutional neural network to output the heavy metal pollution level classification results.
[0011] Furthermore, in the remediation execution module, the microbial remediation agent release device is equipped with a microfluidic chip, which dynamically adjusts the flow rate and dosage of the remediation agent according to the soil porosity, and enhances the immobilization efficiency of heavy metals by the microbial community through gene expression regulation technology. The remediation plant planting unit uses a seed ejection device carried by a drone to achieve precise sowing based on the heat map of heavy metal pollution distribution. The sowing density is positively correlated with the pollution concentration.
[0012] Furthermore, the optimization algorithm model of the intelligent control module includes: The migration prediction sub-model uses a long short-term memory network to predict the migration path of heavy metals in time series. The restoration efficiency assessment sub-model analyzes the synergistic effect between restoration plants and microorganisms using the random forest algorithm to generate a restoration efficiency score; The dynamic control sub-model employs a multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm, aiming to minimize remediation costs and maximize pollution removal rates, and outputs the optimal combination of remediation parameters.
[0013] Furthermore, in the dynamic regulation sub-model, the constraints include soil pH threshold, the growth cycle of the repair plant, and the temperature range of microbial activity, and the weights are adjusted and optimized in real time through a fuzzy logic controller.
[0014] Furthermore, the optical sensor in the real-time monitoring module employs a high-sensitivity photomultiplier tube and a high-resolution spectral detector, which can detect weak isotope fluorescence signals. By establishing a quantitative relationship model between the intensity of isotope fluorescence signals and the content of heavy metals in the soil, a multiple linear regression algorithm is used for data analysis to determine the content of heavy metals in the soil.
[0015] Furthermore, the data storage and transmission module adopts a distributed storage architecture, distributing data across multiple storage nodes, and its data storage format adopts a unified XML or JSON format.
