Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of water quality monitoring technology, and in particular relates to a method for predicting the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of organic matter and the potential for membrane fouling based on differential spectroscopy. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasingly severe water shortage situation in my country, wastewater reuse has become an effective way to alleviate water scarcity. After secondary biological treatment, the effluent still contains various organic substances, known as secondary effluent organic matter. Secondary effluent organic matter is a major source of membrane fouling during wastewater regeneration. To effectively control membrane fouling and extend the lifespan of membrane elements, it is essential to identify the hydrophilicity / hydrophobicity of secondary effluent organic matter and its potential for membrane fouling.

[0003] Traditional methods for analyzing the hydrophilicity / hydrophobicity of organic matter in secondary effluents often involve separation using macroporous resins, while membrane fouling characteristics are typically analyzed using methods such as membrane flux and membrane resistance. These methods are cumbersome in pretreatment, complex in analytical procedures, and time-consuming, making them unsuitable for analyzing large volumes of samples. With the development of smart water management, real-time acquisition and online monitoring of water quality information have become essential, and online analysis of the hydrophilicity / hydrophobicity and membrane fouling potential of organic matter in secondary effluents is beneficial for membrane fouling control. Therefore, establishing a rapid analytical method for the hydrophilicity / hydrophobicity and membrane fouling potential of organic matter in secondary effluents is crucial. Summary of the Invention

This method solves the problems of cumbersome preprocessing, complex and time-consuming analysis procedures, and difficulty in meeting the requirements for large-scale sample analysis in existing methods for predicting the hydrophilicity / hydrophobicity and membrane fouling potential of organic matter.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: a method for predicting the hydrophilicity / hydrophobicity and membrane fouling potential of organic matter based on differential spectroscopy, comprising the following steps:

[0006] S1. Obtain the sample to be tested and filter it. Place the filtered sample to be tested into the sample cell, select the predicted water sample and perform a full spectral scan to obtain the ultraviolet-visible reference spectrum of the predicted water sample, and titrate the predicted water sample with the titration solution to obtain the titrated water sample.

[0007] S2. Perform a full UV-Vis scan on the titration water sample according to the preset wavelength range to obtain the predicted UV-Vis titration spectrum of the water sample and perform correction to obtain the corrected UV-Vis titration spectrum.

[0008] S3. The corrected UV-Vis titration spectrum and the predicted UV-Vis reference spectrum of the water sample are standardized, and the difference spectrum is obtained by calculation.

[0009] S4. Standardize the differential spectrum for total organic carbon, extract Gaussian peak values ​​from the standardized differential spectrum to obtain a preset number of Gaussian bands, establish a standard curve by calculating the Gaussian band ratio, and calculate the proportion of hydrophilic and hydrophobic components of organic matter and the membrane fouling potential based on the standard curve.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention obtains differential spectra by performing a full spectral scan on the predicted water sample, followed by titration, and then combining correction and standardization. Through standard curves, it completes the prediction of the hydrophilicity / hydrophobicity of organic matter and the potential for membrane fouling, thereby reducing the complexity of pretreatment, realizing a rapid analysis procedure, reducing analysis time, and meeting the needs of large-scale sample analysis.

[0011] Further, S1 includes the following steps:

[0012] S101. Based on the secondary effluent from the wastewater treatment plant, obtain the sample to be tested, remove impurities and suspended solids from the sample to obtain the filtered sample to be tested.

[0013] S102. Place the filtered sample to be tested into the reference sample cell of the UV-Vis spectrophotometer.

[0014] S103. Based on the sample cell, select the predicted water sample and perform a full spectral scan of the predicted water sample according to the preset wavelength range to obtain the ultraviolet-visible reference spectrum of the predicted water sample.

[0015] S104. Titrate the predicted water sample with perchlorate solution to obtain a titrated water sample of the preset concentration.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned further solutions are as follows: The present invention obtains and filters the sample to be tested, selects the predicted water sample based on the reference sample cell of the ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer, obtains the ultraviolet-visible reference spectrum, and realizes the display of the structural characteristics of organic matter in the sample through differential spectroscopy. At the same time, selecting the raw water as the reference spectrum can also eliminate the influence of inorganic ions in the water.

[0017] The predicted water sample was then titrated with a perchlorate solution to obtain a titrated water sample of the preset concentration. Titration with a perchlorate solution can avoid the interference of anions on the ultraviolet-visible spectrum.

[0018] Furthermore, S2 includes the following steps:

[0019] S201. Perform a full UV-Vis scan on the titration water sample according to the preset wavelength range to obtain the predicted UV-Vis titration spectrum of the water sample.

[0020] S202. Based on the titration solution and the UV-Vis titration spectrum of the titration solution, the predicted UV-Vis titration spectrum of the water sample is corrected to obtain the corrected UV-Vis titration spectrum.

[0021] Furthermore, the expression for the corrected and predicted UV-Vis titration spectrum of the water sample is as follows:

This indicates the ultraviolet-visible titration spectrum of the titrated solution. This indicates the volume of the water sample titrated. This indicates the volume of solution consumed in the titration. This indicates the predicted volume of the water sample before titration.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned further solution are as follows: By performing a full UV-Vis scan on the titrated water sample to obtain the UV-Vis titration spectrum and then correcting it, the changes in sample volume and spectral absorbance caused by titration are eliminated, so that the changes in spectral characteristics reflected by subsequent spectral analysis are entirely generated by changes in the electron cloud of organic matter.

[0025] Furthermore, step S4 includes the following steps:

[0027] S402. By calculating the ratio of the fourth Gaussian band to the second Gaussian band, the differential spectral index is obtained.

[0028] S403. Set up the chromatography column and establish a standard curve based on the differential spectral parameters;

[0029] S404. The proportion of hydrophilic and hydrophobic components of organic matter and the membrane fouling potential are calculated based on the standard curve.

[0030] Furthermore, the first Gaussian band has specific parameters of 6.11 electron volts and 203 nanometers;

[0031] The second Gaussian band has specific parameters of 5.59 electron volts and 222 nanometers.

[0035] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned further scheme are as follows: By standardizing the total organic carbon and Gaussian peaking, the present invention decomposes the differential spectrum into five Gaussian energy bands. Since the five Gaussian energy bands can replace the ultraviolet-visible differential spectrum and represent its spectral characteristics, the spectral prediction is more accurate.

[0036] Furthermore, S403 includes the following steps:

[0037] S4031. Sample the sample to be tested multiple times to obtain a water sample, and then pass the water sample through a preset filter membrane to obtain a filtered water sample.

[0038] S4032. The macroporous adsorption resin is activated using cyclohexane and methanol, and the activated macroporous adsorption resin is washed using ultrapure water. The washed macroporous adsorption resin is then packed into a chromatography column.

[0039] S4033. Using a peristaltic pump, the filtered water sample is continuously injected into the chromatography column according to the preset pump flow rate and sampling volume.

[0040] S4034. In response to the continuous injection of filtered water samples into the chromatography column, the total organic carbon content of the filtered water samples after injection into the chromatography column is determined, and the proportion of hydrophobic organic components in the sample to be tested is calculated.

Based on the differential spectral index, the proportion of hydrophobic organic components in the sample to be tested, and the specific membrane fouling rate, a standard curve is obtained by establishing the relationship curve between the differential spectral index and the proportion of hydrophobic components and the specific membrane fouling rate using linear regression.
