Description
Technical Field

[0002] In the current context of environmental protection and sustainable resource utilization, the monitoring and detection of microplastics has become an important research direction. Microplastics refer to plastic particles with a diameter of less than 5 mm, which are widely present in soil, water and air, posing a potential threat to the ecological environment and human health;
[0003] In a Chinese patent with publication number CN118443538A, a soil microplastic detection method and system are mentioned, including: obtaining image information and Fourier transform microscopic infrared spectrum of soil microplastics; constructing a microplastic physical feature detection model and a microplastic chemical composition detection model; performing graphic correction processing on the image information, combining the microplastic physical feature detection model and the image information after correction processing to obtain the physical characteristics of soil microplastics; performing spectral adjustment processing on the Fourier transform microscopic infrared spectrum, combining the microplastic chemical composition detection model and the Fourier transform microscopic infrared spectrum after spectral adjustment processing to obtain the chemical composition of soil microplastics; summarizing the physical characteristics and the chemical composition to obtain the detection data of soil microplastics, reducing the influence of human factors on the soil microplastic detection results and improving the accuracy and efficiency of soil microplastic detection.
[0004] However, it mainly relies on traditional laboratory analysis methods, such as optical microscopy observation, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), which have significant disadvantages. First, traditional techniques usually require complex sample pretreatment, and the sampling and analysis process is time-consuming and cumbersome, resulting in low detection efficiency and difficulty in meeting the needs of large-scale detection. Secondly, laboratory analysis generally relies on professional equipment and experimenters, which increases the cost of detection, and the use of equipment limits the flexibility of analysis. In addition, traditional methods often require a large amount of chemical reagents, which not only increases the environmental burden, but also may pose a risk to the health of experimenters, especially in the case of long-term and high-frequency use; at the same time, the existing technology needs to be improved in the description and identification of microplastic characteristics. Traditional methods mainly rely on physical and chemical analysis methods, which are easily affected by the complexity of samples, making the feature identification of microplastics not comprehensive enough, which may lead to missed detection or false detection, further affecting the accuracy of the detection data. In addition, many traditional detection technologies cannot be effectively automated, and manual intervention introduces human errors, affecting the consistency and repeatability of the results.

[0044] S1. Use the five-point sampling method to evenly collect soil samples in the designated area, and then use the quartering method to reduce the collected samples to 5g to reduce the sample volume while maintaining representativeness, and then dry the dried samples, grind and sieve them to remove moisture to avoid interference during the experiment;
[0045] S2. Use saturated NaCl solution or ZnCl2 solution as the extracting solution, mix the soil sample with the extracting solution, and then use a centrifuge to centrifuge. According to the density difference between microplastics and soil particles, adjust the centrifugal speed and time to float or settle the microplastics, and collect the microplastic particles in the upper or lower liquid. For microplastics with lower density, use saturated NaCl solution, the centrifugal speed is 3000-5000rpm, and the centrifugal time is 5-10 minutes, so that the microplastics float to the upper liquid for collection; for microplastics with higher density, use ZnCl2 solution, the centrifugal speed is 8000-12000rpm, and the centrifugal time is 10-15 minutes, so that the microplastics settle to the lower liquid for collection. For specific types of microplastics, use oil extraction or pressurized fluid extraction technology to improve the extraction efficiency, in which the oil extraction method is to mix the soil sample with an oil solvent to dissolve the microplastic particles in the oil, and then separate the oil phase containing microplastics by filtering or centrifugation. Finally, wash the oil phase with anhydrous ethanol to remove the residual oil.

5. A soil microplastic detection method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that: The step S5 includes: S501, using a hyperspectral camera to scan the soil sample, obtain its spatial image data, record the spectral information of each pixel, including reflectivity and absorptivity, and keep the distance and angle between the camera and the sample stable; S502, preprocessing the original spectral data, extracting the characteristic spectral information of microplastics, comparing the characteristic spectral information with the known microplastic spectral library, and quickly identifying and classifying the microplastics; S503, after identifying the microplastics, using the position information in the spatial image data to locate the microplastics, and determining their specific positions in the soil sample by calculating the coordinate positions of the microplastics in the image; assuming that the image size obtained by the hyperspectral camera is W×H, the coordinates of each pixel are (x, y), where x represents the number of columns, i.e., the horizontal direction, and y represents the number of rows, i.e., the vertical direction. For each pixel P (x, y) identified as microplastics, its coordinate position is expressed as: P=(x,y) Then, according to the known distance and angle between the camera and the sample and the resolution parameters of the camera, a transformation matrix M is defined to convert the image coordinates into actual spatial coordinates. For the pixel point P (x, y), its actual spatial coordinate S (X, Y, Z) is calculated by the following formula: S=M·P Among them, M is a 3×2 transformation matrix, which is used to convert 2D image coordinates into 3D space coordinates; P is a column vector containing pixel coordinates, which calculates the actual position of each pixel identified as microplastic in the soil sample.
