Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of electrochemistry and microfluidics, and particularly to a device for filtering water samples and optimizing water flow. Background Art

[0002] Heavy metals generally include transition metals and some main group metals in the periodic table. Common heavy metals are lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), arsenic (As), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), etc. These metals often exist in the form of minerals in nature and have important industrial uses. Many heavy metal ions are significantly toxic at high concentrations or under long-term exposure and may have adverse effects on different organs and systems. Industrialization and urbanization have accelerated the entry of heavy metal pollutants into water bodies through wastewater discharge, atmospheric deposition, etc. Through infiltration into groundwater or through the scouring of surface water, they ultimately converge into the ocean. In the marine environment, heavy metal ions will be absorbed by marine organisms, and due to the cumulative effect of the food chain, it will affect the survival and reproductive ability of marine organisms and may even lead to the extinction of species. The ocean is an important food source for humans, and many seafood products such as fish and shellfish are one of the main food sources for humans. The accumulation of heavy metal ions through the food chain will ultimately enter the human body through seafood products. Therefore, in-situ detection of heavy metal ions in the ocean can timely discover pollution sources, take corresponding measures, and protect the balance and stability of the marine ecosystem.

[0003] Electrochemical sensors have the characteristics of simple structure, fast response speed, low manufacturing cost, high sensitivity, outstanding specificity and stability. Electrochemical sensors can identify and quantify heavy metal ions by scanning specific potentials, and the current generated at each reduction potential indicates the type and concentration of metal ions, and this process only takes a few minutes.

[0004] The ocean current conditions in the ocean are complex, with different flow velocities at different depths. The flow velocity in the upper layer is significantly higher than that in the lower layer. The complex ocean currents make it impossible for some electrodes modified with sensitive materials to improve the detection performance to directly conduct in-situ detection. In the marine environment, the water body contains a large number of suspended particles, such as organic matter, sediment particles, microplastics, microorganisms, etc. The diameters of these particles range from several hundred micrometers to several micrometers. Among them, large flocs (with a diameter greater than 134 micrometers) account for more than 60% of the total suspended particles and are severely affected by seasons. These suspended particles are easily attached to the electrode surface of the sensor, causing signal distortion and interfering with the normal operation of the sensor. Summary of the Invention

The outer two flow channels are set in the 10 - 55 degree interval, and the opening positions of the inner two flow channels are set in the 0 - 45 degree interval and continue for 0.5 mm in the straight flow channel.

[0058] The water sample mentioned above is an in-situ seawater sample. Natural seawater contains a large number of suspended particles, including biological particles (particulate carbon), sediment, sediment, microplastics, and flocs, etc. The particle size of these suspended particles spans a wide range, from several hundred microns to several microns. Some ultra-fine suspended particles such as biological metabolites, fine mineral particles, and marine aerosols generated by wave action have a diameter of less than 1 micron.

[0059] The flat filter membrane A9 is a large-pore filter membrane with a pore size range of 10 microns.

[0060] The water sample enters the filter plate 5 through the water sample inlet 2, and passes through the parallel serpentine flow channel 4 and the micro-column obstacle flow channel 6. The suspended particles in the water sample are subject to a net lift force F in the direction perpendicular to the movement direction in the flow channel L , including the wall effect lift force F W and the shear gradient lift force F S .

[0061]

[0062] where ρ is the fluid density, V m is the velocity of the suspended particle, d is the diameter of the suspended particle, D h is the hydraulic diameter of the flow channel, C W is the wall lift coefficient, C S is the shear lift coefficient.

[0063] F D = 3πμdU D

[0064]

[0065] Among them, F D is the Dean drag, μ is the viscosity of the fluid, U D is the cross-flow velocity of the secondary flow, D eThe Dean number for describing the eddy current intensity, R e is the Reynolds number, H is the channel width, and R is the radius of curvature of the channel.

[0066] Under the action of the net lift force F L , suspended particles of different particle sizes will reach different equilibrium positions. In a curved channel, the fluid motion is subjected to radial centrifugal acceleration, thus forming opposite vortices called Dean vortices in the upper and lower parts of the channel cross-section. Suspended particles in the fluid reach the equilibrium position faster under the combined action of F L and the Dean drag force F D generated by the Dean vortices. A communication area is provided at the turning point of the parallel serpentine channel 4. Suspended particles with a particle size greater than 200 microns are more likely to be subjected to centrifugal action and converge to the outer channels in the communication area, entering the waste outlet 17. In the micro-column obstructed channel 6, suspended particles in the water sample are guided by the micro-column array to converge to the edge and enter the waste outlet 17, and the remaining water sample enters the flat membrane filtration area 26 at a low flow rate. Suspended particles with small particle sizes in the water sample are filtered step by step. After filtration, the water sample enters the electrochemical detection area and is discharged from the water sample outlet 28 after electrochemical detection.

[0067] Example 2

[0068] A water sample pretreatment device for deep sea water sample filtration and water flow optimization of the present invention is used to filter suspended particles with a huge particle size span in the water sample in the in-situ marine environment, and at the same time reduce the flow rate of the water sample to provide a more stable detection environment for electrochemical detection. In this example, the finite element simulation of the filtration channel is carried out by using the computational fluid dynamics module and the particle tracking module of the COMSOL multi-physics simulation software to verify its filtration effect on suspended particles at different inlet flow rates.

[0069] Combined Figure 5 , 6 , 7, 8 to illustrate the specific implementation manners of the present invention. As Figure 5 shown, a two-dimensional model is used to simulate the parallel serpentine channel 4, simulating the channel area occupied by the fluid, and the fluid density is set to 1000 kg / m ^3 , and the inlet flow rate of the fluid is 0.4 m / s. The particle tracking module sets the density of the particles to 1100 kg / m ^3 , the diameter of the particles is evenly distributed in the range of 50 to 250 microns, and 200 particles are released at the same time. The particles are set to be subjected to the drag force and lift force exerted by the fluid, and the reaction force of the particles on the fluid is ignored. The two-dimensional model is refined with a mesh divided by the physical field, and the model is solved by using the iterative solver GMRES. As Figure 6As shown, the x-axis represents the position of the particles at the outlet in mm, the y-axis represents the particle diameter in microns, and the z-axis represents the number of particles. It is statistically obtained that 93.2% of the particles with a diameter greater than 200 microns flow out from the outlet at a position of 3 - 4 mm, that is, into the waste outlet 17. As Figure 7 shown, a two-dimensional model is used to simulate the micro-column obstructing the flow channel 6, and the flow channel area occupied by the fluid is simulated. The fluid density is set to 1000 kg / m ^3 , and the inlet velocity of the fluid is 0.2 m / s. The particle tracking module sets the density of the particles to 1100 kg / m ^3 , the particle diameter is evenly distributed in the range of 1 to 200 microns, and 200 particles are released simultaneously. The drag force and lift force exerted by the fluid on the particles are set, and the reaction force of the particles on the fluid is ignored. The two-dimensional model is refined by physical field-controlled mesh generation, and the model is solved using the iterative solver GMRES. As Figure 8 shown, the x-axis represents the position of the particles at the outlet in mm, the y-axis represents the particle diameter in microns, and the z-axis represents the number of particles. It is statistically obtained that 95.68% of the particles flow out from the outlet at a position of 6 - 8 mm, that is, into the waste outlet 17.
