Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electrochemical monitoring, and in particular relates to an optical fiber-based dynamic bubble monitoring device and a calibration method and a bubble behavior evaluation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In modern industrial production, especially in the fields of chemical, pharmaceutical and energy conversion, the monitoring of bubble behavior is of great significance for optimizing process flow, improving production efficiency and ensuring safe operation of equipment. In chemical production, the generation and release behavior of bubbles directly affect the reaction efficiency and product quality. In the pharmaceutical process, the presence of bubbles may lead to uneven reaction and reduced product quality. In energy conversion equipment, the generation and release behavior of bubbles can affect the operating efficiency and safety of the equipment.
[0003] Bubble behavior is usually described by parameters such as bubble generation rate, size distribution, and detachment frequency. Accurate measurement of these parameters is crucial to optimizing equipment performance and improving production efficiency. However, existing bubble behavior monitoring technologies have many limitations, which restrict the accurate and efficient measurement of these parameters. At present, the monitoring methods of bubble behavior mainly include optical imaging technology, acoustic detection technology, and electrochemical sensors. Although optical imaging technology can provide intuitive bubble images, it requires a lot of computing resources and is difficult to achieve real-time monitoring. Although acoustic detection technology has the advantages of non-contact and real-time monitoring, the measurement accuracy of bubble size is low. Although electrochemical sensors have a fast response speed, they are easily interfered by chemical substances and have low measurement accuracy.
[0004] For example, although the application of existing optical imaging technology in bubble detection can provide high-resolution bubble images, in industrial environments, due to unstable light conditions and interference from background noise, the complexity of image processing and the computational overhead increase significantly, making it difficult to achieve fast, real-time monitoring of bubble behavior. For another example, although the application of acoustic detection technology in bubble detection can achieve non-contact monitoring, in complex industrial environments, the reflection and scattering of sound waves are serious, resulting in reduced measurement accuracy and the inability to accurately distinguish bubble signals from background noise, limiting its application in high-precision monitoring.
[0005] Although some progress has been made in the application of optical imaging technology and acoustic detection technology in the field of bubble detection, limited by the complexity of the industrial environment and the diversity of bubble behavior, there is no parameter that can accurately represent the bubble behavior in the industrial production process. As a result, in industrial production, people usually only pay attention to basic process parameters such as temperature and pressure, while ignoring the adverse effects of bubble behavior on the production process. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a system that can monitor bubble behavior in industrial production in real time and with high precision. Summary of the invention

[0082] In addition, it also includes a calibration unit for calibrating the optical fiber sensor.
[0083] The optical path part selects one of the transmission, reflection or interference measurement systems according to the measurement principle.
[0084] Reflective: Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the light source emits detection light, the detection light is input into the entrance of the circulator, the detection light is output from the next exit of the circulator, and the detection light is input into the fiber sensor through the single-mode optical fiber. The fiber sensor is placed in a bubble environment (such as an electrolytic cell). The detection light in the fiber sensor is modulated by the bubbles to generate signal light with a changed wavelength. The signal light is transmitted from the other end of the fiber sensor into another section of single-mode optical fiber, and is returned by the reflector, and enters the spectrum analyzer through the next output port of the circulator. The spectrum analyzer transmits the data of the signal light to the host computer.
[0085] Transmission type: Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the light source emits detection light, which is input into the fiber optic sensor through the single-mode optical fiber. The fiber optic sensor is placed in a bubble environment (such as an electrolytic cell). The detection light in the fiber optic sensor is modulated by the bubbles to generate signal light with a changed wavelength. The signal light is transmitted from the other end of the fiber optic sensor into another section of single-mode optical fiber and enters the spectrum analyzer.

The fiber sensor is placed in a bubble environment (such as an electrolytic cell), and the detection light in the fiber sensor is modulated by the bubble to generate a signal light with a phase change. The signal light is transmitted from the other end of the fiber sensor into another section of single-mode fiber, and is input into coupler B together with the detection light in the reference fiber. The light after beam combination by coupler B is output to the spectrum analyzer, and the spectrum analyzer transmits the data of the signal light to the host computer.
[0087] Interference (Michelson): Figure 4 As shown, the light source emits detection light, which is input into the entrance of 1:1 coupler A. The detection light is output from the two exits of coupler A, one of which is input into the fiber sensor through the single-mode fiber, and the other is input into the single-mode fiber as the reference fiber. The fiber sensor is placed in a bubble environment (such as an electrolytic cell), and the detection light in the fiber sensor is modulated by the bubble to generate a signal light with a phase change.

Both the signal light and the detection light in the reference fiber are returned to coupler A through the reflector. The light after beam combination by coupler B is output to the spectrum analyzer, and the spectrum analyzer transmits the data of the signal light to the host computer.
[0088] Working process and principle:
[0089] The optical fiber sensor is buried in the electrolytic cell. The light emitted by the light source passes through the sensor and returns to the optical receiver. The signal processor analyzes and processes the optical signal to obtain the required data. The optical system is controlled by the host computer.
[0090] Sensor calibration: Use liquid level calibration method. Continuously change the liquid level and continuously collect sensor signals. Obtain sensor signal data and corresponding height data at different times, and fit these data with a function. The obtained function can be used for bubble measurement. Detailed description is given in Example 2.
[0091] Example 2: A calibration method for a dynamic bubble monitoring device based on optical fiber.
[0092] During calibration, prepare one of the four measurement systems in Example 1, a transparent container with a height scale, and a liquid to be measured.
[0093] like Figure 5 As shown, the optical fiber sensor of the measurement system is placed vertically in a transparent container. Reflection or interference (Michelson) does not require an optical fiber loop, while transmission or interference (Mach-Zehnder) requires an optical fiber loop. Change the liquid level of the liquid to be measured in the transparent container so that it immerses optical fiber sensors of different lengths. Read a series of lengths Δl of the liquid to be measured that immerse the sensor, and record the center wavelength drift value Δλ of the signal light spectrum at this time. The total length of the optical fiber sensor is L. Through function fitting, the calibration relationship function of the air coverage rate Δl / L and the center wavelength drift value Δλ is obtained, that is, the calibration relationship function f(Δλ) of the bubble coverage rate Δl / L and the center wavelength drift value Δλ, which is expressed as:
[0094] Δl / L=f(Δλ).
[0095] Acquisition of dynamic parameters of bubble evolution: The central wavelength drift Δλ(t) measured by the measurement system changes with time, and the dynamic bubble coverage is calculated through the calibration function.
[0096] According to the dynamic bubble coverage, the bubble generation rate, detachment rate and bubble size can be calculated.
[0097] The bubble generation rate is the slope of the rising segment at the beginning of the dynamic bubble coverage, expressed as:
[0098]
[0099] For example: Figure 6 In the experiment, bubble coverage (rising section) = 85.6%, Δt (rising section) = 50s, generation rate = 1.7%-1s -1 .
[0100] The bubble detachment rate is the number of bubble detachments per unit time and unit length. The bubble detachment event is indicated by the falling segment of the dynamic bubble coverage, which is expressed as:
[0101]
[0102] For example: Figure 6 In the experiment, the observation time was 300s, the sensing area length was 10mm, and the number of bubble detachments was observed to be 8 times, and the detachment rate was 0.00267s. -1 mm -1 .
[0103] Bubble size refers to the size of the detached bubble, which represents the maximum size of the bubble attached to the solid surface. The calculation method is:
[0104] Bubble size = bubble coverage reduction × sensing area length.
[0105] For example: Figure 6 In the figure, the bubble coverage reduction (descending section) is ≈17%, the sensing area length is 10 mm, and the bubble size is 1.7 mm.
[0106] Example 3: A method for evaluating bubble behavior.
[0107] The evaluation method is based on the device of Example 1, continuously obtains the time series signal related to the bubbles in the electrolytic cell, and proposes a signal calculation method. The obtained signal is output as a single parameter, the release factor R. R can measure the behavior of the bubbles.
[0108] The evaluation method relies on system modules such as Figure 7 As shown, including:
[0109] Signal input module: The signal obtained by the device of Example 1 is input to the signal processing / calculation module.
[0110] Signal processing / computation module: processes signals and interprets them into understandable results through calculations.
[0111] Filter unit: Filters the noise in the signal through noise reduction algorithm.
[0112] Conversion unit: The signal is converted into the size of the bubble by using the calibration function of Example 2.
[0113] Differentiation unit: Calculates the time-varying bubble size differential with respect to time. The differential result has both positive and negative values, and each negative value represents a bubble detachment event.
[0114] Calculation R unit: Calculate the square of the number of negative values in the differential result within a measurement period, divide it by the sum of the absolute values of the negative differential values within this period, and then divide it by the length of this period. The result is called the release factor R of the bubbles in the electrolytic cell during this period.
[0115] Result output module: displays the calculated R.
[0116] It is thus determined that the steps of the evaluation method are:
[0117] The timing signals related to bubbles are continuously obtained through a dynamic bubble monitoring device based on optical fiber;
[0118] The obtained time series signal is input into a signal processing unit to extract the growth rate, size and detachment rate parameters of the bubble;
[0119] The release factor R is calculated by the evaluation unit, and the release factor R calculation formula is:
[0120]
[0121] or:
[0122]
[0123] Among them, T ob is the measurement time, L is the length of the sensitive area of the optical fiber sensor, Δt is the sampling interval, ΔI(t) and Δλ(t) represent the differential intensity and differential wavelength measured by the intensity demodulation and wavelength demodulation systems, respectively, and f I and f λ represent the calibration functions of the intensity demodulation and wavelength demodulation systems respectively, so f I (ΔI) and f λ (Δλ) represents the bubble coverage, and They represent the time differential of the bubble coverage in the intensity demodulation and wavelength demodulation systems, respectively, and the sum symbol Σ represents the time differential of the bubble coverage in the time period T ob The sum of all bubble detachment events in N 3 It is the number of negative differentials during this period, that is, the number of bubble detachments observed.
[0124] The quality of the bubble behavior is evaluated based on the calculated release factor R. Figure 8 As shown, the calculated release factor R has a very good correlation with the performance of the electrolyzer (voltage efficiency), indicating that the evaluation method is effective.
[0125] The principle used by the evaluation method of this embodiment is described as follows:
[0126] The bubble release factor (R factor) is a parameter that measures the dynamic behavior of bubbles based on optical fiber signals. The larger the R factor, the higher the bubble release efficiency.
[0127]
[0128] in The product of the length of the optical fiber sensitive area and the decrease in the bubble coverage is the size of the detached bubble. Considering that the size of the detached bubble in the actual measurement is not uniform, it is necessary to average multiple observations. Therefore, the R factor can be rewritten as
[0129]
[0130] For example, based on the intensity demodulation type fiber optic sensor, a sudden drop in the differential intensity (ΔI) of the spectrum indicates a bubble detachment event. After calibration, the size of the detached bubble can be calculated based on the drop in ΔI. Specifically, if f I is the scaling function of the intensity demodulation system, and its derivative with respect to time df I (ΔI(t)) / dt can quantitatively represent the bubble dynamics. A negative derivative indicates bubble detachment, and the corresponding amplitude can be used to calculate the bubble size. This analysis is also applicable to wavelength demodulation fiber optic sensing systems.
[0131] "Good" bubble behavior is characterized by smaller bubble size and higher detachment probability (ρ). We define a higher R factor to represent better bubble behavior. Thus, R is inversely proportional to the bubble size and directly proportional to the detachment probability (∝ρ). Note that the inverse of the bubble size is the density of bubble detachment sites. The detachment probability ρ is the number of observed bubble detachments (N 3 ) divided by the total number of samplings during the observation period. The total number of samplings is T ob Divide by the time interval between each sampling (Δt).

Some or all of the modules may be selected according to actual needs to achieve the purpose of the scheme of this embodiment. Ordinary technicians in this field can understand and implement it without paying creative labor.
