Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to optoelectronic detection technology, and particularly to a device and method for detecting the permanganate index in water. Background Art
[0002] The permanganate index in water quality is an index reflecting the oxidizable substances, both organic and inorganic, in water bodies. It is one of the parameters for evaluating the quality of surface water, and is of great significance for reflecting the water pollution status. It is a routine monitoring item for water quality monitoring in China.
[0003] Currently, the following are several commonly used methods for detecting the permanganate index.
[0004] 1. Direct colorimetric method: By digesting with acidic potassium permanganate, the degree of fading of potassium permanganate is measured to determine the amount of reducing substances in water.
[0005] This method is extremely susceptible to the acidity and temperature of the reaction system, and there is interference from manganese dioxide precipitation in the detection. Therefore, when measuring actual water samples or glucose solutions, the digestion efficiency is inconsistent with that of the sodium oxalate standard solution, affecting the accuracy of the measurement.
[0006] 2. Colorimetric titration method: In the national standard, sodium oxalate can reduce the remaining potassium permanganate as well as manganese dioxide. Therefore, the colorimetric titration method can reduce the interference of manganese dioxide.
[0007] This method has a long heating time and a large error in judging the titration end point. As the titration process progresses, a certain degree of dilution will occur, and the measurement results are affected by the reaction time, temperature and conditions, resulting in a large error in the determination of the permanganate index, and the oxidation rates of water samples with different concentrations are different. In addition, the titration process is affected by the environment and is prone to fluctuations in the detection signal value. Therefore, it increases the difficulty of accurately measuring the permanganate index in water online.
[0008] 3. Electrode titration method: The potentiometric titration method judges the end point through the oxidation-reduction potential of the solution. However, the titration process is affected by temperature and the titration process is lengthy; there are high requirements for the stability of the electrode.
[0009] With the development of instrumental analysis, there are higher requirements for the accuracy and timeliness of detection, and there is an urgent need for a simple, rapid and accurate detection method. Summary of the Invention

The analysis module outputs the absorbance and obtains the concentration of the permanganate index in the water sample according to the absorbance.
[0018] The purpose of the present invention also lies in providing a method for detecting the permanganate index in water with good accuracy and high efficiency, and this purpose of the invention is achieved through the following technical solutions.

[0028] (A7) Obtain the absorbance A based on the light intensity L1 and the light intensity L2;
[0029] (A8) Use the mapping relationship to obtain the concentration of the permanganate index in the water sample.
[0030] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0031] This application uses acidic potassium permanganate oxidation and secondary redox, and then detects the remaining amount of potassium permanganate by colorimetry (non-direct colorimetry). Within the allowable error range, the concentration of the permanganate index in the water sample and the absorbance are linearly negatively correlated.
[0032] This method is simple to operate and avoids the influence of manganese dioxide precipitation introduced by the direct colorimetry method.
[0033] There is no need for titration, which greatly shortens the detection time and improves the detection efficiency. It can be widely applied to various scenarios such as laboratories and emergency monitoring. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
