Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of spectral analysis technology, specifically a rapid detection method and system for carbon sinks in water rocks based on spectral technology. Background Technology
[0002] In current global climate change research, accurately quantifying carbon sinks from water and rock weathering is crucial for understanding carbon cycle mechanisms. However, while traditional chemical analysis methods can accurately determine carbon-related chemical components in water or rocks, they require complex sample pretreatment steps, such as digestion and extraction, which can take several days or even weeks, making it difficult to meet the needs of rapid detection. Moreover, this method can only obtain data on a single chemical component and cannot simultaneously reflect the comprehensive characteristics of the water-rock system, nor can it fully capture the complex material transformations and dynamic changes in carbon sinks during weathering.
[0003] Furthermore, some studies focus on a single factor, such as only detecting carbon content in rock weathering or water bodies. When studying only rock weathering, the important role of water as a weathering medium and carbon transport carrier is ignored, making it impossible to accurately assess the carbon sink effect under the interaction between water and rocks. Simply detecting carbon content in water bodies makes it difficult to correlate the impact of rock weathering on carbon input to water bodies, leading to significant biases in the estimation of weathering carbon sinks.
[0004] Meanwhile, traditional physical detection methods, such as gravimetric and volumetric methods, are not only inefficient but also susceptible to interference from external environmental factors, resulting in poor stability of detection results. Some advanced instruments, such as mass spectrometers, have high detection accuracy, but they are expensive and complex to operate, requiring professional personnel to conduct them in a laboratory environment, making it difficult to achieve rapid on-site detection in the field and limiting their application in large-area carbon sequestration detection.
[0005] To this end, those skilled in the art have proposed a rapid detection method and system for carbon sinks in water bodies and rocks based on spectral technology. The aim is to integrate the spectral information of water bodies and rocks, utilize the rapid detection characteristics of spectral technology, and combine advanced data processing and modeling methods to achieve efficient, comprehensive, and accurate detection of carbon sinks in water bodies and rocks, providing reliable data support for in-depth research on the carbon cycle mechanism in the process of water body and rock weathering. Summary of the Invention

[0037] Figure 2 This is a block diagram of the rapid detection system for carbon sinks caused by rock weathering in water bodies according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0038] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.
[0039] Example 1: As shown in the attached document Figure 1 As shown, this invention provides a rapid detection method for water rock weathering carbon sinks based on spectral technology, comprising the following steps:
[0040] S1. In the study area, representative sampling points were selected according to the grid layout principle to obtain water samples and rock samples; 500ml water samples were collected in sterile sampling bottles at a depth of 0.5m below the water surface, and 3 parallel samples were collected at each point to obtain water samples;
[0041] A rock sample was obtained by tapping 100g of rock from a fresh section with a geological hammer and recording the geographical location and lithological information.
[0042] Representative sampling points were selected in the study area according to the grid-based sampling principle to ensure that the collected water and rock samples could comprehensively and accurately reflect the characteristics of the study area, making the test results more reliable and scientific, and reducing errors caused by sampling deviations.
[0043] S2. The water sample is divided into two parts: on-site spectral measurement and laboratory chemical analysis; the rock sample is ground into powder with a particle size of less than 74 μm after removing impurities, for use in spectral measurement and chemical analysis.
[0044] Water samples are rationally allocated: one portion is used for in-situ spectroscopic measurements to obtain timely spectral information of the water under natural conditions; the other portion is used for laboratory chemical analysis, enabling more precise determination of chemical composition. Rock samples undergo impurity removal and grinding to achieve suitable particle sizes, facilitating both spectroscopic measurements and chemical analysis and ensuring measurement accuracy. In-situ spectroscopic measurements reflect the real-time spectral characteristics of the water body, while laboratory chemical analysis provides accurate chemical composition data; the combination of both contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the water body's characteristics. The processing of rock samples lays the foundation for obtaining high-quality spectral data and accurate chemical analysis results.
[0045] S3. Perform spectral detection on the water sample and the rock sample respectively to obtain water spectral data and rock spectral data;
[0046] The water samples were subjected to spectral detection by placing an optical fiber probe vertically 1 cm above the water sample and parallel to the surface of the water sample. Each water sample was measured 3 times, and the average value was taken as the water spectral data.
[0047] The rock samples were subjected to spectral detection by spreading rock powder in a standard sample cell and using diffuse reflectance measurement mode. The fiber optic probe was at a 45° angle to the sample cell surface and a distance of 5 cm. Each rock sample was measured 3 times, and the average value was taken as the rock spectral data.
[0048] Water and rock samples were analyzed using spectral detection equipment to obtain spectral data for both water and rocks. This data contains information about the optical properties of the samples and serves as an important basis for subsequent analysis, providing rich spectral information for studying the characteristics of water and rocks.
[0049] S4. After preprocessing the water body spectral data and the rock spectral data, extract the comprehensive characteristic spectral bands; the preprocessing includes radiometric calibration, Savitzky-Golay filtering for smoothing and denoising, and normalization in sequence;
[0050] The preprocessed water spectral data and the rock spectral data are merged to obtain merged spectral data;
[0051] Principal component analysis is used to transform the original high-dimensional spectral data into a set of low-dimensional data represented by principal components by performing eigenvalue decomposition on the covariance matrix of the merged spectral data. The contribution rate of each principal component is calculated, and the original spectral bands corresponding to the principal components whose cumulative contribution rate reaches a preset threshold are selected as the comprehensive feature spectral bands.
[0052] Preprocessing spectral data improves data quality; extracting comprehensive characteristic spectral bands allows for the selection of key information from large amounts of spectral data, simplifies data structure, and highlights features related to weathered carbon sinks. Preprocessed data is more accurate and reliable, facilitating subsequent analysis and calculations. The extracted comprehensive characteristic spectral bands reduce data redundancy, improve computational efficiency, and enhance the correlation between data and weathered carbon sinks.
[0053] S5. Based on the comprehensive characteristic spectral bands, the weathered carbon sink is calculated using a quantitative relationship model between spectral characteristics and weathered carbon sink, and the detection results are obtained.
[0054] Principal component analysis was used to obtain... Each comprehensive characteristic spectral band, for Each sample, whose comprehensive characteristic spectral band data constitute a matrix , dimension Each row represents a sample. Each column represents a different characteristic spectral band value;
[0055] Parameters of a quantitative relationship model are estimated using the least squares method. ;
[0056] Use the following formula to calculate the predicted weathered carbon sink:
[0057]
[0058] in, The predicted amount of weathered carbon sequestration, i.e., the test results; For the sample number Data values for each comprehensive characteristic spectral band.
[0059] By utilizing the established quantitative relationship model between spectral characteristics and weathered carbon sink, the comprehensive characteristic spectral bands are substituted into the model for calculation, thereby obtaining the detection results of weathered carbon sink. This enables rapid and quantitative detection of weathered carbon sink through spectral technology, providing a powerful technical means for studying the impact of water rock weathering on the carbon cycle.
[0060] Example 2: As shown in the attached document Figure 2 As shown, the present invention also provides a rapid detection system for water rock weathering carbon sinks based on spectral technology, comprising:
[0061] The sampling module is used to select representative sampling points in the study area according to the grid-based distribution principle to collect water and rock samples.
[0062] The sample processing module is used to process the collected water and rock samples;
[0063] The spectral detection module is used to perform spectral detection on the processed water and rock samples using spectral detection equipment to obtain water spectral data and rock spectral data, respectively.
[0064] The feature extraction module is used to preprocess water spectral data and rock spectral data, and to extract comprehensive feature spectral bands from the preprocessed data using principal component analysis.
[0065] The carbon sink calculation module is used to calculate the weathered carbon sink based on the extracted comprehensive characteristic spectral bands and through a quantitative relationship model between spectral features and weathered carbon sink, enabling rapid detection of weathered carbon sinks in water bodies and obtaining detection results.
[0066] As can be seen from the above, existing technologies may mostly focus on the impact of a single factor, either rock or water, on weathered carbon sinks. This proposed method, however, considers the spectral characteristics of both water and rock, providing a more comprehensive reflection of the complex process of weathered carbon sinks in real-world environments. This represents an innovation in research perspective and methodology. Utilizing spectral technology for rapid detection is more convenient and efficient than traditional chemical analysis methods, and it can acquire more information about the optical properties of the sample. Furthermore, by preprocessing and extracting features from the spectral data, comprehensive characteristic spectral bands are obtained, and a quantitative relationship model between the corresponding spectral features and the amount of weathered carbon sinks is established. This method, which combines data processing with model building, can more accurately calculate the amount of weathered carbon sinks.
