Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of water pollution source tracing, and particularly relates to a high-precision pollution source tracing method based on a basin water quality fingerprint database. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of the economy and society, a series of problems have emerged in the basin water environment due to the influence of domestic sewage, industrial sewage, and agricultural wastewater. After a water environmental pollution accident occurs, it is an indispensable link to investigate the pollution sources and trace the pollutants. Pollution source tracing is to analyze the physical and chemical properties of a water body environment and its main characteristic pollutants, and use effective technical methods to accurately identify the main source types of the characteristic pollutants and determine their contribution degrees, establish and improve the technical system for analyzing water pollution sources, and provide technical support for water environment quality assessment, water environment risk assessment, and pollutant reduction. At the same time, the results of pollution source tracing can effectively guide water pollution prevention work, improve the pertinence, scientificity, and rationality of pollution prevention, and are also an important basis for formulating water pollution prevention plans and regional industrial and energy structure adjustment plans.
[0003] At present, relatively complete water environment quality monitoring systems have been established in some areas, and online monitoring equipment is used to monitor water quality indicators such as potassium permanganate index, ammonia nitrogen, and total phosphorus in the water environment in real time to reflect the state and changes of the water environment quality. However, these water quality indicators can only reflect the total amount of pollution and are difficult to directly reflect the sources of pollutants. Pollution source analysis methods include isotope method, three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy method, chemical fingerprint method, and artificial intelligence method, etc. The chemical fingerprint method can handle the identification problem of similar pollution sources, and can also perform online non-destructive identification, which has a certain reliability for identifying the sources and contribution information of pollutants. In order to quickly respond to water pollution accidents, it is necessary to establish a sewage fingerprint database for upstream sewage discharge enterprises. By analyzing the chemical fingerprint information of polluted water downstream, the enterprises that violate regulations in discharging sewage can be quickly traced. The technology that uses the fingerprint database to complete pollution source tracing can greatly reduce the workload of water pollution source tracing and quickly and timely achieve pollutant source tracing. At the same time, using the fingerprint database to complete pollution source tracing can greatly reduce the number of online automatic monitoring sampling points and the installation quantity of online automatic monitoring equipment, and greatly save the environmental protection supervision cost. By using the existing automatic monitoring equipment in the river and combining with the fingerprint spectrum technology, on the basis of reducing the number of equipment used, the supervision cost is saved, and at the same time, the supervision intensity is strengthened, effectively solving the problems of sewage discharge enterprises discharging secretly through hidden sewage outlets and violating regulations in discharging sewage by destroying equipment parameters.
[0004] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a high-precision pollution source tracing method based on a basin water quality fingerprint database. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Aiming at the limitation that the water pollution source tracing method in the prior art can only reflect the total amount of pollution and is difficult to directly reflect the source of pollutants, which leads to the technical problem of quickly locating pollution factors, the present invention provides a high-precision pollution source tracing method based on a watershed water quality fingerprint database. The establishment of this method involves three-dimensional fluorescence, ultraviolet spectrophotometry, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with solid-phase microextraction to screen characteristic substances. Search for professional characteristic attributes, relatively stable, and distinguishable chemical fingerprints that can reflect the sewage of upstream polluting enterprises, and establish an effective sewage fingerprint database. Under the condition that the composition of the sewage discharged may vary greatly due to the changes in water body flow and the different production processes of polluting enterprises at different times, obtain water quality information quickly and accurately. Based on the physical evidence analysis results of the polluted water samples, identify and trace the pollutants in combination with the sewage fingerprint database.

[0012] (4) After solid-phase microextraction of the water samples in step (1), detect the volatile organic compounds therein by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and conduct qualitative and quantitative analysis of the results;
[0013] The water sample is detected for volatile organic compounds, and the specific steps are as follows: Transfer 8 mL of the sample into a 15 mL extraction bottle, then add 2.5 g of NaCl and a magnetic stir bar, and then quickly seal it. Age the SPME extraction fiber head in the GC-MS injection port at 250 °C until there are no impurity peaks. Place the sample bottle on the solid-phase microextraction device, set the temperature to 80 °C, and the rotation speed to 1000 rpm; place the sample bottle on the extraction device and preheat it for 15 min; insert the SPME extraction head through the bottle cap into the headspace part of the sample, push out the fiber head, and the extraction head is about 1.0 cm above the upper surface of the sample, and perform headspace extraction for 40 min; withdraw the fiber head, and pull out the extraction head from the sample bottle; then insert the extraction head into the GC-MS injection port, push out the fiber head, and desorb it at 250 °C for 3 min, and then inject for analysis.

[0016] Qualitative analysis: The detected components are qualitatively analyzed using the MS database NIST11 and retention time; the column bleed peaks, etc. should be deducted from the database screening results.
[0017] Quantitative analysis: The area normalization method is used, that is, the percentage of the peak area of the identified component in the sum of the peak areas of all identified components is used as the quantitative result, and the formula is as follows:
[0018]
[0019] Where: Ci - the content of a certain identified component, %;
[0020] Ai - the peak area corresponding to a certain identified component;
[0021] n - represents the total number of identified components.

At the same time, according to the detection results of ultraviolet and volatile organic compounds, judge the indicators that are likely to characterize the abnormal water quality of the surface water at this point according to the standards of the river basin water quality fingerprint database;
