Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of circulating water detection, in particular to a method for detecting ammonia nitrogen in high-calcium and high-magnesium circulating water aquaculture. Background Art

[0002] In recirculating aquaculture, high levels of calcium and magnesium ions are added to enhance the uptake of these elements in the water, particularly for whiteleg shrimp (Penaeus vannamei). Nessler spectrophotometry and salicylic acid spectrophotometry are commonly used to detect trace and semi-trace ammonia nitrogen in water at the milligram per liter level. However, due to the high calcium and magnesium ion content in water, precipitation often occurs with Nessler's and salicylic acid reagents, increasing spectrophotometric errors and even rendering detection impossible. Therefore, we propose a method for detecting ammonia nitrogen in high-calcium and magnesium recirculating aquaculture. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In response to the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a method for detecting ammonia nitrogen in high-calcium and high-magnesium circulating aquaculture. First, a large amount of calcium and magnesium in the circulating aquaculture water is precipitated with a sodium oxalate solution, and then a small amount of calcium and magnesium remaining in the aquaculture water is further complexed with a potassium sodium tartrate solution to jointly remove calcium and magnesium ions in the aquaculture water, thereby ensuring the accuracy of ammonia nitrogen concentration detection.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for detecting ammonia nitrogen in high calcium and magnesium circulating aquaculture, comprising the following steps: (1) Drawing of the standard curve: Take several colorimetric tubes, add 0.0-0.5 mL of 20 mg / L ammonia nitrogen standard working solution, add sodium oxalate solution filtrate to 5 mL, and the corresponding ammonia nitrogen concentration is 0.0-2.0 mg / L; add 0.10 mL of potassium sodium tartrate solution and shake well, 0.15 mL of sodium hydroxide solution and shake well, and 0.15 mL of Nessler's reagent and shake well to each colorimetric tube in turn; after 15 minutes of color development, use a quartz cuvette to measure the absorbance at a wavelength of 420 nm with ammonia-free water as a reference, and draw a standard curve; (2) Water sample pretreatment: Take the aquaculture water sample, add sodium oxalate flocculant, stir repeatedly, let it stand for 30 minutes, and then filter to obtain the filtrate to be tested; (3) Ammonia nitrogen concentration detection: Take 5.0 mL of the filtrate to be tested and place it in a colorimetric tube. Add 0.10 mL of potassium sodium tartrate solution and shake well, 0.15 mL of sodium hydroxide solution and shake well, and 0.15 mL of Nessler's reagent and shake well. After color development for 30 minutes, use a quartz cuvette to measure the absorbance at a wavelength of 420 nm with ammonia-free water as a reference. The concentration value is obtained according to the standard curve.

[0005] Preferably, in step (1), the amount of 20 mg / L ammonia nitrogen standard solution added to the six colorimetric tubes is 0.0 mL, 0.1 mL, 0.2 mL, 0.3 mL, 0.4 mL, and 0.5 mL, respectively; after the filtrate is extracted with sodium oxalate solution, the corresponding ammonia nitrogen concentrations are 0.0 mg, 0.4 mg, 0.8 mg, 1.2 mg, 1.6 mg, and 2.0 mg / L, respectively.

[0006] Preferably, in step (1), the mass concentration of the filtrate of the sodium oxalate solution is 0.5%, and the preparation method is: take 5.0g of sodium oxalate, shake it with 1000mL of ammonia-free water to dissolve it, let it stand for 30 minutes, and then filter it to obtain it.

[0007] Preferably, in step (1) and step (3), the mass concentration of the potassium sodium tartrate solution is 2%; and the mass concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution is 20%.

[0008] Preferably, in step (2), the solid-liquid ratio of sodium oxalate flocculant to aquaculture water sample is 1:200 g / mL.

[0009] Preferably, in step (2), a water filter membrane with a pore size of 0.45 μm is used in the filtration.

[0010] Preferably, in step (3), after adding sodium hydroxide solution and shaking, if obvious precipitation is found, dilution treatment is performed.

[0011] The present invention provides a method for detecting ammonia nitrogen in high-calcium and high-magnesium circulating aquaculture, which has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art: The present invention first precipitates a large amount of calcium and magnesium in the circulating aquaculture water by using a sodium oxalate solution, and then continues to complex a small amount of calcium and magnesium remaining in the aquaculture water with a potassium sodium tartrate solution, thereby jointly removing calcium and magnesium ions in the aquaculture water and ensuring the accuracy of ammonia nitrogen concentration detection. In order to prevent the potassium sodium tartrate from precipitating due to absorption of carbon dioxide in the air, etc., the pH of the solution to be detected is increased by using a sodium hydroxide solution, thereby preventing the precipitation of the potassium sodium tartrate from affecting the spectrophotometric detection result.
