Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of environmental protection technology, and in particular to a device and method for measuring the bioinhibition of water samples. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional water quality safety assessments rely solely on physicochemical indicators of water bodies to determine whether water quality meets standards. These indicators can only measure the content of pollutants, but cannot directly and accurately reflect their comprehensive impact on the environment. Therefore, bioinhibition monitoring is needed to supplement this.

[0003] Bioinhibition monitoring, as a supplement to traditional physicochemical testing, can directly reflect the combined toxic effects of coexisting pollutants in water bodies. It can also effectively detect the comprehensive biotoxic effects of various pollutants in water bodies and provide a clear and intuitive assessment of water quality safety. Test organisms for bioinhibition include luminescent bacteria, algae, and activated sludge. Commonly used evaluation indicators for bioinhibition include: oxygen consumption rate, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content, and nitrification inhibition rate.

[0004] Bioluminescent bacteria are a type of bacteria that emit blue-green visible light with wavelengths of 450–490 nm under normal physiological conditions. When exposed to toxic or harmful substances in wastewater, the bacteria themselves, or their respiration or physiological processes, are inhibited, thus reducing the light intensity or even stopping the emission. Using the luminescence intensity of bioluminescent bacteria as an indicator to monitor toxic substances is time-efficient and highly sensitive; however, the reproducibility of the results using the bioluminescent bacteria method is not ideal, and the cultivation costs are high.

[0005] Algae, as primary producers in the food chain, have gained attention and widespread application due to their small size, rapid reproduction, sensitivity to toxic substances, and the ability to quickly assess the impact of chemical substances on population levels. Commonly used testing indicators include optical density, cell number, chlorophyll concentration, and cell dry weight. Among these, cell number and optical density are the most widely used due to their ease of operation and are the most important testing indicators in algal toxicity experiments. However, as prokaryotes, luminescent bacteria and algae cannot realistically simulate the complex metabolic processes of eukaryotic organisms in response to toxic substances, presenting significant limitations.

[0006] Activated sludge, as the test organism, consists of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and metazoa, and has a complex composition. Different types of activated sludge have different compositions, which leads to unstable experimental results.

[0007] Oxygen consumption rate (OUR) refers to the rate at which microorganisms in sludge consume oxygen during pollutant degradation, and is a theoretical indicator characterizing the activity of aerobic microorganisms. OUR often uses activated sludge as the test organism; however, the complexity of activated sludge composition can lead to unstable experimental results.

[0008] Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a specific high-energy compound in living organisms, serving as the energy conversion substance for cells and the basis of life activities. Under specific environmental conditions, the content of ATP in an organism is relatively stable, but it is rapidly decomposed upon the death of the organism. Therefore, ATP content can serve as an indicator of biological activity, characterizing the living biomass and metabolic rate of microorganisms. However, ATP measurement is cumbersome and requires specialized equipment, limiting its practicality.

[0009] Nitrification inhibition rate refers to the nitrification process of nitrifying bacteria, which refers to the process by which nitrifying bacteria, under aerobic conditions, convert NH4+ into nitrogenous oxygen. + -N oxidation produces NH2OH and NO2. - -N, then oxidized to produce NO3 - Numerous studies have shown that nitrifying bacteria are more susceptible to selective inhibition by toxic substances in wastewater compared to other microbial communities in activated sludge. However, the complex composition of microbial communities in activated sludge leads to unstable experimental results.

[0010] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a simple and rapid method to determine the bioinhibition of water bodies. Summary of the Invention
