Traditional laboratories use manual measurements, which are prone to sample contamination, take a long time to measure, and are not suitable for long-term on-site monitoring. The emergence of flow analysis technology has realized the automation and miniaturization of fluid control, reducing the risk of sample contamination and reagent consumption. The development of flow analysis technology has greatly promoted the development of automatic nutrient detection technology. Among them, Sequential Injection Analysis (SIA) has gradually been used in water quality nutrient monitoring due to its advantages such as simple and reliable hardware, good versatility of injection pipelines, and low sample and reagent consumption.

[0005] For another example, the invention application with publication number CN117517227A discloses a micro gas phase molecular absorption spectrum online detection device and detection method for nitrite in environmental water. The device is based on the principle of gas phase molecular absorption spectrum, and integrates the carrier gas system, reaction system and detection system through a sequential injection analysis system, which improves the sensitivity of nitrite detection at visible wavelengths, reduces the interference of water vapor in the gas phase on detection, reduces the energy consumption requirements and production costs of the nitrite gas phase molecular absorption measurement and analysis device, reduces the size of the detection device, and realizes the trace level detection of nitrite in complex matrices.

[0057] like Figure 1 to Figure 6 As shown, a sequential injection analysis system is used for sequential injection analysis of nitrate / nitrite in water quality. The sequential injection analysis system includes a sequential injection module, a water sample collection unit, a reagent unit, a reaction unit, a detection unit and a waste liquid pipe 7.

[0058] The sequential injection module includes a multi-channel selection valve 1, which includes a common end interface 11 and multiple inlet and outlet interfaces. The common end interface 11 is connected to an injection pipeline 2. A liquid storage ring 22 and a plunger pump 21 are sequentially arranged on the injection pipeline 2 from close to the common end interface 11 to far away from the common end interface 11. The free end of the injection pipeline 2 is used to connect to a pure water bottle 23; a bubble detector 24 is arranged at the common end interface 11 of the multi-channel selection valve 1.

[0059] The plunger pump 21 is used to accurately control the volume and flow rate of samples and reagents. It is driven by a motor and controlled by a solenoid valve. When the solenoid valve is closed (power off), the plunger cylinder in the pump is connected to the liquid storage ring 22. When the solenoid valve is opened (power on), the plunger cylinder in the pump is connected to the pure water bottle. The other end of the liquid storage ring 22 is connected to the common end of the multi-channel selection valve to store liquid to prevent samples and reagents from being sucked into the pump, so as to prevent the reagents from contaminating the pump or corrosive reagents from damaging the pump.

[0060] The inlet and outlet interfaces on the multi-channel selection valve 1 include inlet and outlet interfaces 12, inlet and outlet interfaces 13, inlet and outlet interfaces 14, inlet and outlet interfaces 15, inlet and outlet interfaces 16, and inlet and outlet interfaces 17. There are two unused inlet and outlet interfaces in the structure shown in the figure.

[0061] The bubble detector 24 can be used to detect bubbles. When bubbles are detected, it is in the liquid-free state; when no bubbles are detected, that is, there is liquid, it is in the liquid-existing state.

[0062] By discharging liquid to one side of the pure water bottle 23 through the plunger pump 21, the corresponding liquid can enter the liquid storage ring 22 from the common end interface 11 for temporary storage. By reverse driving the plunger pump 21, the liquid temporarily stored in the liquid storage ring 22 can enter the corresponding unit again through the common end interface 11.

[0063] The water sample collection unit includes a water sample collection tube 3, one end of which is used to suck the water sample to be tested, and the other end is connected to the inlet and outlet interface 12 of the multi-channel selection valve 1. The water sample collection tube 3 is connected to an automatic water sample collection device 31, which has sample pretreatment functions such as filtering and temperature control to remove suspended matter.

[0064] The sequential injection analysis method of the present application can be used to directly perform water sample detection and analysis at a site such as a riverside. At this time, one end of the water sample collection tube 3 is directly inserted into the position where the water sample to be tested needs to be sucked; the water sample to be tested can also be collected and tested in the laboratory. Figure 1 The structure shown in the figure shows that the test is carried out in the laboratory, and one end of the water sample collection tube 3 extends into the water sample bottle 32, and the water sample to be tested is stored in the water sample bottle 32.

[0065] The reagent unit comprises a reagent inlet tube 4 , one end of which is connected to a reagent bottle 41 , and the other end of which is connected to an inlet and outlet interface 16 of the multi-channel selection valve 1 .

[0066] The reaction unit includes a mixing tube 5, one end of which is connected to the inlet and outlet interface 13 of the multi-channel selection valve 1. Figure 2 As shown, the reaction unit further includes a heating device, and the heating device includes a heating wire 51 wound around the surface of the mixing tube 5. The reaction unit further includes a temperature sensor 52 for detecting the temperature of the liquid in the mixing tube 5.

[0067] The detection unit includes a detection tube 6, one end of which is connected to the inlet and outlet interface 14 of the multi-channel selector valve 1. The detection unit is provided with a detector 61 on the detection tube 6, and the detector 61 includes one or more detectors, each of which is selected from an optical detector, a conductivity detector or an electrochemical detector.

[0068] The optical detector 62 is used to measure the absorbance of certain components in the water sample or the generated fluorescent signal. The optical detector 62 includes a flow cuvette 621 connected to the detection tube 6. The structure of the flow cuvette 621 is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the flow cuvette 621 is an existing structure and can be purchased directly. The two ends of the flow cuvette 621 are an inlet end and an outlet end respectively.

[0069] A light shielding structure is provided outside the flow cuvette 621. The structural schematic diagram of the light shielding structure in the detection unit is shown in FIG. Figure 3 to Figure 5 As shown, the light shielding structure includes two light shielding sheets 622 that are buckled with each other. The buckled surfaces of the two light shielding sheets 622 are provided with a first receiving groove 623 for receiving the flow cuvette 621 and a second receiving groove 624 for installing the detection light source. One side of the second receiving groove 624 has a first detection port 625 that is connected to the first receiving groove 623 and faces the side of the flow cuvette 621. A third receiving groove 629 for installing a detector is provided on one of the light shielding sheets 622. One side of the third receiving groove 629 has a second detection port 6210 that is connected to the first receiving groove 623 and faces the side of the flow cuvette 621. The first receiving groove 623 is also provided with a avoidance hole 626 that avoids the inlet and outlet ends of the flow cuvette 621.

[0070] The buckling surfaces of the two light shielding sheets 622 after buckling with each other are provided with mutually matching protrusions 627 and grooves 628 on both axial sides of the first receiving groove 623, wherein each light shielding sheet 622 is provided with a protrusion 627 and a groove 628 on each side of the first receiving groove 623. The setting of the light shielding structure, especially the protrusions 627 and grooves 628 staggered and matched on the two light shielding sheets 622, can effectively prevent the leakage of ambient light at the interface, making the detection more accurate.

[0071] Conductivity detectors are used to detect the ion concentration of the solution. Electrochemical detectors are used to detect specific targets such as heavy metals. The detection unit is modularly designed, and users can flexibly replace the detector according to actual detection needs to cope with different water quality analysis scenarios.

[0072] One end of the waste liquid pipe 7 is connected to the inlet and outlet interface 15 of the multi-channel selection valve 1, and the other end is connected to the waste liquid bottle 71. The waste liquid pipe 7 is used to receive the waste liquid discharged from each unit, and the waste liquid is collected in the waste liquid bottle 71.

[0073] The inlet and outlet interfaces 17 of the multi-channel selector valve 1 are used as air ends for air intake.

[0074] The sequential injection analysis system of the present invention also includes a control unit, which is used to control the operation of each component. The control programs of some repeated actions are integrated and packaged into action packages, which include reset action packages, cleaning action packages, liquid inlet action packages, and air inlet action packages.

[0075] The reset action package includes a control program for the following actions in sequence: emptying the pure water in the plunger pump 21 to restore the initial position, and filling the liquid storage ring 22 with pure water, but leaving a section of air column at the end of the injection line 2 connected to the common end interface 11. Leaving a section of air column can prevent the water sample or reagent from contacting the pure water, and eliminate the influence of diffusion movement on the test results or contamination of the plunger pump 21, thereby affecting the life of the equipment.

[0076] The cleaning action package includes a control program for the following actions in sequence: connecting the common port 11 to the waste liquid pipe 7, extracting pure water from the pure water bottle 23 through the plunger pump 21, and cleaning the liquid storage ring 22. Avoiding reagents or water samples from remaining in the liquid storage ring 22 and other places of the injection line 2.

[0077] The liquid inlet action package includes a control program for the following actions performed in sequence: liquid is extracted by the plunger pump 21 until the state of the bubble detector 24 changes from no liquid to liquid, and the required volume of liquid or liquid greater than the required volume is continued to be extracted, and then the common end interface 11 is connected to the pipeline that needs to be inlet, and the required volume of liquid is pushed into the corresponding pipeline; the common end interface 11 is connected to the waste liquid pipe 7 to discharge excess liquid.

[0078] The liquid inlet action package can be used for single precise sample injection. Due to different equipment or scene changes, the length of the tube connecting the multi-channel selection valve 1 and the water sample bottle 32 or the reagent bottle 41 will change. If the quantitative volume is extracted according to the traditional method, the volume of liquid in the mixing tube 5 entering the reaction unit will change, which may cause the amount of test reagent or the water sample to be tested to be too little, and the reaction is incomplete, so that the result is low and the accuracy of the test result is affected. The above problem can be solved by setting the bubble detector 24 and the operation method of the liquid inlet action package, so that the liquid inlet volume is accurate and the accuracy of the test result is ensured.

[0079] The air intake action package includes a control program for the following actions in sequence: connecting the common end interface 11 to the air end (inlet and outlet interface 17), extracting enough air, connecting the common end interface 11 to the pipeline that needs to be filled with liquid, and completely pushing the liquid into the corresponding pipeline by injecting air. Since there is a connecting pipe between the mixing tube 5 and the multi-channel selection valve 1, when the water sample or reagent is pushed into the mixing tube 5, part of the liquid will remain in the connecting pipe, and air is needed to push this section of liquid into the reaction tube 5 for reaction. In addition, the air can also play a "stirring" role between the water sample and the reagent, fully mixing and reacting, and the excess gas is discharged from the sample outlet at the top of the mixing tube 5.

[0080] The present invention realizes high automation and standardization of operations at each stage in the water quality detection process through the design of action packages (reset action package, cleaning action package, liquid intake action package, and air intake action package), reduces the need for manual intervention, and reduces the possibility of human error.

[0081] The sequential injection analysis method for nitrate / nitrite in water quality of the present application comprises an initialization stage, a sampling stage, a reaction stage, a detection stage, and a cleaning stage.

[0082] During the initialization phase, reset, clean, and reset are performed in sequence. The reset action package is used during reset, and the clean action package is used during cleansing.

[0083] In the sampling stage, the liquid injection action package is used first, and then the air injection action package is used. Specifically, in the sampling stage, the common end interface 11 is connected to the water sample collection tube 3, and the plunger pump 21 extracts the water sample to be tested until the state of the bubble detector 24 changes from no liquid to liquid state, and the water sample of the volume required for sampling or the water sample larger than the volume required for sampling is continuously extracted, and then the common end interface 11 is connected to the mixing tube 5, and the liquid of the volume required for sampling is pushed into the mixing tube 5; the common end interface 11 is connected to the waste liquid tube 7, and the excess water sample to be tested is discharged; then the common end interface 11 is connected to the air end, and enough air is extracted, and the common end interface 11 is connected to the mixing tube 5, and the water sample is completely pushed into the mixing tube 5 by injecting air.

[0084] In the reaction stage, the liquid-intake action package is used first, and then the air-intake action package is used. Specifically, in the reaction stage, the common end interface 11 is connected to the reagent tube 4, and the detection reagent in the reagent bottle 41 is extracted by the plunger pump 21 until the state of the bubble detector 24 changes from no liquid to a liquid state, and the detection reagent of the volume required for the reaction or the detection reagent greater than the volume required for the reaction is continuously extracted, and then the common end interface 11 is connected to the mixing tube 5, and the detection reagent of the volume required for the reaction is pushed into the mixing tube 5; the common end interface 11 is connected to the waste liquid pipe 7, and the excess water sample to be detected is discharged; then the common end interface 11 is connected to the air end, and enough air is extracted, and the common end interface 11 is connected to the mixing tube 5, and the detection reagent is completely pushed into the mixing tube 5 by injecting air, so that the detection reagent is mixed with the water sample to be tested to obtain a mixed reaction liquid. In the reaction stage, if it is necessary to carry out under specific temperature conditions, the heating wire 51 at the mixing tube 5 heats the mixing tube 5, and the temperature is detected by the temperature sensor 52.

[0085] In the detection stage, the liquid inlet action package is used, and then the air inlet action package is used. Specifically, in the detection stage, the common end interface 11 is connected to the mixing tube 5, and the plunger pump 21 extracts the mixed reaction liquid in the mixing tube 5 until the state of the bubble detector 24 changes from no liquid to liquid, and the mixed reaction liquid of the volume required for detection or the mixed reaction liquid greater than the volume required for detection is continuously extracted, and then the common end interface 11 is connected to the detection tube 6, and the mixed reaction liquid of the volume required for detection is pushed into the detection tube 6; the common end interface 11 is connected to the waste liquid tube 7 to discharge the excess mixed reaction liquid; then the common end interface 11 is connected to the air end, and enough air is extracted, and the common end interface 11 is connected to the detection tube 6, and the detection reagent is completely pushed into the detection tube 6 by injecting air.

[0086] During the detection stage, only a portion of the mixed reaction liquid can be drawn into the detection tube for detection, and the excess mixed reaction liquid can be discharged to ensure that the mixed reaction liquid is sufficient for detection.

[0087] During the cleaning phase, reset, clean, and reset are performed in sequence. The reset action package is used during reset, and the cleaning action package is used during cleaning. The system is reset and all pipes and reaction channels in contact with samples and reagents are cleaned to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of the next test.
