[0057] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the microplastic detection and degradation device comprises a base 1, which is used to fix various components. The base 1 is provided with a power supply component, a detection and degradation component, and a control component, and the detection and degradation component and the control component are electrically connected to the power supply component respectively;

[0058] The detection and degradation component includes a bacterial liquid container 2, a reaction container 3, and a microplastic liquid container 4. The bacterial liquid container 2 contains a bacterial liquid for biologically reacting with the microplastic liquid, which is an Escherichia coli bacterial liquid that has been gene-edited to produce enzymes that can decompose microplastics. The microplastic liquid container 4 contains a liquid containing microplastics, which is derived from a contaminated water sample. The reaction container 3 is used to mix the bacterial liquid and the microplastic liquid so that the two undergo a biological reaction.

The first liquid pipe is provided with a first electromagnetic valve 5 and is in communication connection with the control component. The height of the bacterial liquid container 2 is higher than that of the reaction container 3 so as to ensure that the bacterial liquid in the bacterial liquid container 2 can smoothly enter the reaction container 3 when the first electromagnetic valve 5 is opened, and the mixed liquid in the reaction container 3 will not flow back into the bacterial liquid container 2.

[0060] The microplastic liquid container 4 is connected to the reaction container 3 through a second liquid pipe and the microplastic liquid container 4 is higher than the reaction container 3. The second liquid pipe is provided with a second solenoid valve 6 and is in communication connection with the control component. The height of the microplastic liquid container 4 is higher than that of the reaction container 3 so as to ensure that the liquid in the microplastic liquid container 4 can smoothly enter the reaction container 3 when the second solenoid valve 6 is opened, and the mixed liquid in the reaction container 3 will not flow back into the microplastic liquid container 4;

When the biological reaction of the mixed liquid of the bacterial liquid and the microplastic liquid in the reaction container 3 is completed, the third solenoid valve 7 is opened to discharge the liquid in the reaction container 3 through the drain pipe 8. The biological reaction time is generally about 24 hours. The third solenoid valve 7 is opened to discharge the liquid in the reaction container 3, and then the degradation product of the reaction is measured (by high-efficiency HPLC liquid phase mass spectrometry in the laboratory). The reaction is carried out by utilizing the catalytic action of the enzyme, and the enzyme can be reused in theory; in addition, the use of the above three solenoid valves effectively replaces the role of the water pump, and the flow rate can be better controlled;

When the temperature is lower than the optimum temperature, the temperature can be maintained at the optimum temperature required for the reaction by means of a heating device, and the pH value of the liquid in the reaction container 3 is monitored in real time by the pH sensor 10, and when the pH value deviates, the corresponding buffer solution can be added in time to adjust it so that it is kept within a suitable pH value range;

[0063] A detection container 11 is arranged on the outer wall of the microplastic liquid container 4. The detection container 11 is arranged at the front end of the left side wall of the microplastic liquid container 4. A color recognition sensor 12 is arranged on the outer wall of the detection container 11 and is communicatively connected with the control component. The color recognition sensor 12 is specifically arranged on the left side wall of the detection container 11. Liquid containing microplastics and colloidal gold test agent are added to the detection container 11. The liquid containing microplastics is also a contaminated water sample. Different color reactions will appear for microplastic solutions of different concentrations. The RGB value of the color that appears after the microplastics and colloidal gold are combined is measured by the set color recognition sensor 12, and transmitted to the control component to calculate the concentration of the microplastic liquid. Measuring the concentration of the sample microplastic can better handle the contaminated water of the corresponding source.

[0064] In this example, in order to more conveniently display the internal structure and ensure the correct recognition of the color reaction by the color recognition sensor 12, the base 1, the bacterial liquid container 2, the reaction container 3, the microplastic liquid container 4, the first liquid tube, the second liquid tube, the detection container 11, and the mounting plate 23 are all made of high-transparency acrylic plates;

[0089] The power of the second LED white light fill light 29 is 10W. The second LED white light fill light 29 is electrically connected to the 8V output port of the DC buck 14. A third button switch 32 is arranged between the second LED white light fill light 29 and the 8V output port of the DC buck 14. The second LED white light fill light 29 can be turned on or off by the third button switch 32. By using the second LED white light fill light 29 for fill light, the state of the microplastics in the microplastic liquid container 4 can be better observed.

[0090] like Figure 3 As shown, in this example, in order to effectively prevent accidental leakage of engineered bacteria in the device and ensure biological safety, an ultraviolet sterilization structure is provided on the base 1;

[0091] The ultraviolet sterilization structure includes an ozone-free ultraviolet lamp 30, which corresponds to the drain pipe 8. The ozone-free ultraviolet lamp 30 is electrically connected to the 12V output port of the DC buck 14. A fourth button switch 33 is arranged between the ozone-free ultraviolet lamp 30 and the 12V output end of the DC buck 14. The ozone-free ultraviolet lamp 30 can be turned on or off by the fourth button switch 33. The ozone-free ultraviolet lamp 30 can kill the engineering bacteria in the drain pipe 8, effectively preventing accidental leakage of the engineering bacteria in the device and ensuring biological safety.

[0092] In this example, as a preference, the first button switch 27, the second button switch 31, the third button switch 32, and the fourth button switch 33 all use button switches of model KAN-28; the DC step-down converter 14 uses a three-way DC step-down converter 14 of model LM2596DC-DC; the temperature sensor 9 uses a temperature sensor 9 of model DS18B20; the color recognition sensor 12 uses a color recognition sensor 12 of model TCS34725; the first solenoid valve 5, the second solenoid valve 6, and the third solenoid valve 7 use solenoid valves of model 2W-025-08.

[0093] Working principle: start and turn on the switch power supply 13, the first development board 16, the second development board 17, and the display screen 18, ensure that the second solenoid valve 6 is in a closed state, add an appropriate amount of liquid sample containing microplastics to the microplastic liquid container 4, ensure that the first solenoid valve 5 is in a closed state, add an appropriate amount of bacterial liquid to the bacterial liquid container 2, and then extract an appropriate amount of liquid sample from the microplastic liquid container 4 and add it to the detection container 11, and add an appropriate amount of colloidal gold test agent to the detection container 11, turn on the first LED white light fill light 28, and measure the RGB value of the color after the microplastic and colloidal gold are combined through the color recognition sensor 12. The first development board 16 collects the data information of the color recognition sensor 12 and transmits it to the second development board 17. The second development board 17 calculates the concentration of the processed microplastic liquid and displays it through the display screen 18; then turn on the first The solenoid valve 5 and the second solenoid valve 6 ensure that the third solenoid valve 7 is in a closed state, so that the liquid sample of microplastics and the bacterial liquid enter the reaction container 3, and then start the stirring motor 24 to stir the mixed liquid to make it fully mixed. The temperature of the liquid in the reaction container 3 is monitored in real time by the temperature sensor 9 to ensure that the temperature is maintained at the optimum temperature required for the reaction. When the monitored temperature is lower than the optimum temperature, the first development board 16 controls the start-up drive module 21 to make the electric heating plate 19 work to maintain its temperature at the optimum temperature required for the reaction. The pH value of the liquid in the reaction container 3 is monitored in real time by the pH sensor 10. When the pH value deviates, the corresponding buffer is added in time to adjust it to keep it within a suitable numerical range. After the reaction time is reached, the third solenoid valve 7 is opened to discharge the reactants in the reaction container 3 for subsequent measurement and analysis.
