Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of turbidity meter detection, and more specifically, particularly relates to a high-precision turbidity meter detection method based on the fusion of light scattering and absorption spectra. Background Art

[0002] Turbidity is an important optical property of water. It characterizes the light scattering characteristics of water and is a comprehensive indicator of suspended particles in various types of water. The turbidity of water not only affects the transparency and color of the water, but also reflects the degree of pollution of the water, which is closely related to the water quality. Excessive turbidity will cause turbidity in the water, resulting in abnormal optical properties and self-purification ability of the water, thereby destroying the water ecological environment and seriously affecting people's production and life. Therefore, accurate detection of turbidity is very important.

[0003] In water environment monitoring, the main methods for detecting turbidity include earth dam spectrophotometer method, colorimetric method, photoelectric perspective method, turbidity meter, etc. These methods can detect turbidity caused by suspended particles, but they are still limited by measurement methods, theoretical basis, etc., and have great defects.

[0004] The main manifestations are: traditional methods often require complex pretreatment operations, which are time-consuming and consume a lot of chemical reagents; some methods require the use of special instruments, which are costly and difficult to operate; and there are differences in the detection accuracy of turbidity meters based on different principles. At present, turbidity data is mainly characterized by absorbance detection, and the conventional detection accuracy can reach 0.1NTU, 0.01NTU, or even 0.001NTU; but for higher turbidity values, the detection accuracy still needs to be improved.

[0005] The existing turbidity meter detection methods mainly use light scattering and absorption spectroscopy. Among them: (1) Forward light scattering turbidimeter, which mainly uses the principle of forward scattering of light to measure turbidity. Its measurement is simple, but it is usually only suitable for measuring low turbidity values, with a large detection limit and an accuracy within 3NTU; (2) Absorption spectrum turbidimeter mainly uses the absorption spectrum of light to measure turbidity. Its measurement is more accurate and has a wide range of applications, but the optical path, water sample concentration and operation method will affect the accuracy of turbidity detection; and when the turbidity is extremely high, the absorption spectrum method will have an error that the turbidity data is significantly smaller, its standard deviation is large, and the accuracy is within 5NTU.

[0006] In order to solve the limitations of the existing turbidity meter detection method and achieve high-precision turbidity detection, the present invention discloses a new turbidity meter detection method. Summary of the invention

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a high-precision turbidity meter detection method based on the fusion of light scattering and absorption spectra to solve the following deficiencies of the existing turbidity detection methods: 1.

[0008] 2. Some methods require the use of special instruments, which are costly and difficult to operate.

[0010] 4. Forward light scattering turbidimeters are usually only suitable for measuring low turbidity values, with a large detection limit and an accuracy within 3NTU.

[0011] 5. Although the absorption spectrum turbidimeter has a relatively accurate measurement and a wide range of applications, the optical path, water sample concentration and operating method will affect the accuracy of turbidity detection; and when the turbidity is extremely high, there will be an error in the turbidity data that is significantly smaller, the standard deviation is large, and the accuracy is within 5NTU.

[0036] Further, step S3 is specifically as follows: in the linear detection area of ​​low concentration water samples of 500 NTU and below 500 NTU, the linear regression equation is: (1) Measure the absorbance B1 of a water sample with a known concentration; (2) Measure the light scattering intensity Y1 of a water sample with a known concentration; (3) Obtaining the slope ratio C of the light scattering and absorption spectra of a water sample of known concentration; (4) If the correlation coefficient R of the linear detection area of ​​low-concentration water samples of 500 NTU and below is less than 0.8, the optical path needs to be recalibrated and steps (1) to (3) need to be measured again under the new optical path until R is greater than 0.8; In the linear detection area of ​​high concentration water samples above 500 NTU, the linear regression equation is: (1) Measure the absorbance B2 of a water sample of known concentration; (2) Measure the light scattering intensity Y2 of a water sample with a known concentration; (3) Obtaining the slope ratio C of the light scattering and absorption spectra of high-concentration water samples; (4) If the correlation coefficient R of the linear detection area of ​​high-concentration water samples above 500 NTU is less than 0.8, the optical path needs to be recalibrated and steps (1) to (3) need to be measured again under the new optical path until R is greater than 0.8; In the 500NTU concentration water sample detection area, the linear regression equation is: (1) Measure the absorbance B3 of a water sample of known concentration; (2) Measure the light scattering intensity Y3 of a water sample of known concentration; (3) Obtain the slope ratio C of the light scattering and absorption spectra of medium-concentration water samples; (4) If the correlation coefficient R of the linear detection area of ​​high-concentration water samples above 500 NTU is less than 0.8, the optical path needs to be recalibrated and steps (1) to (3) need to be measured again under the new optical path until R is greater than 0.8; (5) According to the slope ratio C, the linear regression equations of the three turbidity detection areas are obtained, where C1 represents the slope ratio of (1), C2 represents the slope ratio of (2), and C3 represents the slope ratio of (3).

[0037] Further, step S4 is specifically: (1) Measure the absorbance B of the water sample of unknown concentration and substitute it into three linear regression curves to obtain the concentration values ​​of the three turbidity detection areas; (2) Substituting the concentration values ​​of the three turbidity detection areas into the corresponding linear regression equations respectively, and obtaining the turbidity values ​​Y1, Y2, and Y3 of the three turbidity detection areas; (3) Find the average value of Y1, Y2, and Y3, which is the true value of the water sample of unknown concentration.

[0039] More specifically, in S1, the calibrated light scattering detection related parameters are used, specifically: The backscattering coefficient β of the sample at the detection wavelength is obtained using the following formula (1), specifically: In the formula, Iλ is the light intensity in the sample cell, I0 is the light intensity in the reference cell, α is the incident light angle, ε is the absorption coefficient, β is the backscattering coefficient, and r is the radius of the sample cell; The backscattering coefficient is converted into the turbidity value T1 using the following formula (2): In the formula, T1 is the turbidity value converted from the backscattering coefficient, β is the backscattering coefficient, l is the optical path length, and k is the correction coefficient.

[0040] The absorption coefficient γ of the sample at the detection wavelength is obtained using the following formula (3), specifically: In the formula, A(λ) is the absorption spectrum, T(λ) is the transmission spectrum, n is the attenuation constant, l is the optical path length, β is the backscattering coefficient, α is the incident light angle, and T1 is the turbidity value; The turbidity value T2 is obtained by the detection using the following formula (4), specifically: In the formula, T2 is the turbidity value obtained by absorption spectrum detection, α is the incident light angle, β is the backscattering coefficient, l is the optical path length, k is the correction coefficient, ε is the absorption coefficient, and d is the sample cell diameter.

[0041] In S3, the fused data is as follows: The corrected turbidity value T0 is obtained by using the data fusion algorithm using the following formula (5), specifically: In the formula, T0 is the turbidity value based on the fused data, T1 and T2 are the light scattering and absorption spectrum values, α is the incident light angle, β is the backscattering coefficient, l is the optical path length, k is the correction coefficient, ε is the absorption coefficient, d and δ are the sample cell diameter and correction parameter, respectively, and θ is the correction parameter.

[0042] The present invention is based on the high-precision detection method of the turbidity meter based on the fusion of light scattering and absorption spectrum, which adopts the detection principle of light scattering and absorption spectrum. The specific process is as follows: 1) At a certain incident angle, light is emitted from the light source, collimating lens, sample chamber and photodetector, and the scattered light intensity is detected to obtain a light scattering curve. The absorption coefficient can be obtained based on the functional relationship between light intensity and detection parameters (incident light intensity, sample cell diameter, incident angle). The calibrated parameters are used to calculate the corresponding turbidity value.

[0043] 2) Light is set between the light source, monochromator, sample chamber, photodetector and spectral data processing equipment, and the absorption coefficient is obtained according to the functional relationship between the absorption coefficient at the absorption peak position and the spectral transmittance.

[0049] During specific implementation, relevant technical parameters of light scattering and absorption spectrum detection, such as the diameter of the sample cell, etc., can be appropriately adjusted according to the requirements of turbidity detection.

[0050] In order to verify the detection accuracy of the light scattering and absorption spectrum fusion detection method proposed in the present invention, the light scattering detection method, the absorption spectrum detection method and the light scattering and absorption spectrum fusion detection method of the present invention are compared for water samples of different concentrations.

[0051] Detection method: The diameter of the sample cell is 3 cm, the incident angle is 0°, and the light scattering curve of the water sample is measured.

[0052] The spectral transmission curve is obtained by absorption spectrum detection, and the position of the spectral absorption peak is obtained. The absorption coefficient γ is calculated according to formula (3). The absorption coefficient is calculated to be 2.01cm-1 at a wavelength of 650nm and within a unit optical path and wavelength range. According to the relevant parameters obtained by absorption spectrum detection, such as formula (4), the turbidity value is detected at around 2000NTU to obtain the turbidity value T2 of the water sample.

[0053] Through the data fusion algorithm, that is, the turbidity value T0 of formula (5), the turbidity values ​​of light scattering detection and absorption spectrum detection are fused, and the fused turbidity value is compared with the traditional turbidity value to obtain the result. It is found that the detection result of the present invention is closer to the true value than the detection result of the traditional method.

During the turbidity detection process, the detection method proposed in the present invention is used to more accurately detect the turbidity of the water sample, effectively ensuring that the turbidity detection data can accurately reflect the water quality of the water sample, improve the detection accuracy, and facilitate water quality monitoring and control.

[0056] C. The present invention effectively reduces the error of turbidity value detection by integrating light absorption spectrum and light scattering detection, which is beneficial to water environment monitoring and analysis and provides support for environmental protection and water quality improvement.

[0057] The present invention proposes a detection method for turbidity value by integrating light scattering and absorption spectrum, which can effectively correct the detection results of high-concentration turbid water samples and reduce the turbidity value error, which is beneficial to water environment monitoring and drinking water testing, etc. This method combines light scattering detection and absorption spectroscopy detection to achieve high-precision turbidity detection through the following steps: Light scattering detection: Use a laser beam to illuminate the water sample to be tested, obtain the forward scattered and backscattered light intensities through a light intensity detector, convert them into electrical signals, and calculate the forward scattering ratio and backscattering ratio.

[0058] Absorption spectrum detection: Using a tunable light source or a broadband light source, the transmission spectrum of the water sample is collected through a spectral detector, and the absorption spectrum is obtained through rapid spectral filtering.

[0059] Data processing and calibration: Combine the scattering coefficient and extinction coefficient to estimate the turbidity coefficient of the water sample, and compare it with the turbidity calibration curve to calculate the turbidity value.
