Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of environmental monitoring instruments, in particular to a fluorescent portable oil measuring instrument. Background Art

[0002] Detecting petroleum in seawater is a key indicator of seawater testing. Currently, there are three methods for detecting petroleum in seawater. One is the ultraviolet spectrophotometric method, as specified in the environmental standard HJ970-2018, "Water Quality - Determination of Petroleum." The second is the gravimetric method, which is not suitable for accurate measurements due to its large error. The third is the fluorescence spectrophotometric method, as specified in the National Standard of the People's Republic of China GB17378.4-2007, "Ocean Monitoring Specifications, Part 4, Analysis of Oils in Seawater." Fluorescence spectrophotometry is an internationally recognized method for ocean monitoring. Fluorescence measurement involves emitting fluorescence at 360 nm from cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons under 310 nm illumination, eliminating interference from other substances and improving measurement accuracy by an order of magnitude compared to UV spectrophotometry. Currently, fluorescence spectrophotometry primarily uses a fluorescence spectrophotometer to measure oil in seawater. In the laboratory, seawater is extracted manually or automatically with petroleum ether. The absorbance of the extract is measured using a fluorescence spectrophotometer, and the oil concentration in the seawater is then calculated. Currently, there is no portable instrument that uses fluorescence to measure seawater. This lightweight, all-in-one oil meter, which integrates automatic sampling, extraction, separation, and measurement, is suitable for field use. It can collect water samples for measurement, or insert the sampling tube directly into seawater for automatic sampling and measurement. This instrument can be used for on-site emergency monitoring or arbitration monitoring, providing timely and accurate test data. Utility Model Content

It can be used on-site or to collect samples for use in the laboratory. It not only reduces the operating procedures and avoids sampling errors caused by sampling, but also makes the measured water samples more representative. It is also suitable for conventional measurement methods. An extraction separation tank is used to separate solvents and water samples with different densities, making it easier to extract the extract. This solution also has a valve that can be used to control the flow direction of the liquid in the pipeline, which is easy to operate.

The control module includes a touch screen computer 41.

[0032] All connecting pipes use polytetrafluoroethylene tubes, and the connection methods of each module are as follows:

[0033] The inlet of the solvent pump M1 is connected to the extraction liquid storage pipe 24 through the second liquid inlet pipe 13, and the second liquid inlet pipe 13 is equipped with an extraction liquid inlet valve Sv4.

[0034] The outlet of the solvent pump M1 is connected to the stirring tank 22 through a first liquid outlet pipe 14 , and a solvent outlet valve Sv5 is installed on the first liquid outlet pipe 14 .

[0035] The outlet of the water sample pump M2 is connected to the stirring tank 22 through the water sample pump outlet pipe 16.

[0041] The lower end of the drain pipe 23 is connected to a drain pipe waste liquid valve Sv10 for discharging the cleaning waste liquid.

[0042] The use method of this utility model:

[0043] (1) When the measurement is started, the water sample pump M2 draws the water sample through the water sample inlet valve sv2, and then sends the water sample into the stirring tank through the water sample pump outlet pipe 16.

[0044] (2) The solvent pump M1 then extracts a fixed amount of solvent through the solvent inlet valve sv1 and delivers it into the stirring tank 22 through the solvent outlet valve sv5.

[0045] (3) Start the magnetic stirrer and drive the magnet X to rotate. The water sample and the solvent are stirred and mixed by vertical stirring. Liquids of different densities can be fully mixed and the oil in the water sample can be extracted into the solvent.

[0046] (4) When the water sample is continuously fed into the stirring tank 22 by the water sample pump M2, most of the solvent will remain in the stirring tank 22 because of its lower density than water; a small amount of solvent will flow into the separation tank 21 along with the extracted water sample, and the liquid flow will rotate upward along the four sides, and the flow rate will slow down. The solvent will separate from the water and float to the stirring tank 22 after accumulating to a certain volume. The petroleum in the water sample will be completely extracted into the solvent, and the extracted wastewater will continue to flow downward and be discharged through the equal liquid level drain pipe 51.

[0047] (5) When the volume of the extracted water sample reaches the set value or the water sample in the sampling bottle is completely extracted, the water sample pump M2 stops working and the magnet X stops rotating; the liquid is static and stratified, and the petroleum-containing extract will all float to the upper part of the stirring tank 22, and the two parts will have obvious stratification, and the drainage pipe 51 will stop draining when the liquid level is reached.

[0048] (6) Control the drain valve SV9 of the drain pipe to open and allow the separation layer to drop to the upper part of the separation tank.

[0049] (7) Open the extraction liquid inlet valve sv4, the sample pool inlet valve sv6, and the sample pool vent valve sv7, start the solvent pump M1, and draw a certain amount of extraction liquid into the sample pool 31. After completion, stop the solvent pump M1 and close all solenoid valves.

[0050] (8) The spectrometer collects the 360nm fluorescence signal excited by the extract, and sends the signal to the touch screen computer 41 for processing and calculation, and obtains the analysis data results for display and storage.

[0051] (9) Open the solvent pump vent valve sv3, the sample pool liquid inlet valve sv6, and the sample pool drain valve sv8, start the solvent pump M1, and drain the extract liquid in the sample pool 31. After completion, stop the solvent pump and close the solenoid valve.

[0052] (10) After the test is completed, open the solvent inlet valve SV1, the cleaning valve SV11, the water sample inlet valve SV2 and the drain pipe waste valve SV10, pump the solvent into the water sampling tube, and clean the water sampling tube, water sample pump, stirring tank and separation tank.

[0053] In this embodiment, a special organic solvent-resistant pump is used to quickly extract water samples, and the solvent and water sample are sent to the extraction stirring tank for vertical magnetic stirring to fully mix the liquids of different densities of water and solvent. The specially developed and designed extraction and separation device can realize the functions of extraction and separation. The waste water after extraction can be discharged through a siphon, and the extract enters the sample tank for measurement. The fiber optic spectrometer collects the fluorescence signal excited by the extract, and after processing and conversion, it is sent to a touch screen computer for calculation and processing to obtain the concentration of petroleum content in the water.
