Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water quality monitoring technology, and in particular to a rapid online monitoring device for micro-flow residual chlorine. Background Technology

[0002] Chlorine is added to tap water for disinfection. Medical wastewater and biological sewage are also commonly treated with chlorination for effluent disinfection. Therefore, controlling the chlorine concentration is directly related to the effectiveness of water disinfection. The national standard GB5749—2006, the Standard for Drinking Water Quality, specifies the required chlorine levels in tap water. Excessive residual chlorine will give the water an unpleasant odor, while insufficient residual chlorine will cause it to lose its sterilization ability; therefore, residual chlorine needs to be measured to control the disinfection process. Current online monitoring technology typically uses a peristaltic pump-powered, multi-way valve-based sampling, and quartz detection cell technology as the core of fully automated online detection. This technology is mature, stable, and widely used. However, it still has drawbacks such as low accuracy and long testing time. Furthermore, current devices suffer from air bubble interference during liquid mixing, leading to inaccurate detection. Utility Model Content

[0035] Test basic principle:

[0036] According to the GB / T 14424-2008 industrial circulating cooling water residual chlorine determination, the national standard detection method, when the pH is about 6.2-6.5, the free chlorine in the water sample directly reacts with N, N-diethylnaphthalene-1, 4-benzene diamine (DPD) to generate a red compound, which is determined by using a spectrophotometric method at a wavelength of 510nm, and the absorbance is proportional to the concentration.

[0037] Two reagents are used as color developing solution, reagent one is buffer solution, reagent two is DPD color developing agent, and the two reagents are injected into the color developing reactor for colorimetric color development.

[0038] The test procedure is as follows:

[0039] (1) open the throttle valve and electromagnetic valve, the water sample enters the colorimetric cell through the microfluidic chip, flushes and rinses the colorimetric cell for 30s, and removes the entire flow path; at this time, the colorimetric cell is filled with the water sample to be tested;

[0040] (2) close the throttle valve and electromagnetic valve, the magnetic stirring device is stirred for 10s, and then stopped, and the water sample is blank tested;

[0041] (3) the second peristaltic pump is rotated forward for 10s, and reagent one and reagent two are injected into the colorimetric cell through the microfluidic chip;

[0042] (4) the magnetic stirring device is stirred for 10s, and then stopped, color development detection is performed, and the test result is obtained;

[0043] (6) open the throttle valve and electromagnetic valve, the water sample enters the colorimetric cell through the microfluidic chip, and the colorimetric cell is cleaned.

[0044] The overall process is fast, and the entire detection process does not exceed 2min, which can meet the requirements of rapid detection of residual chlorine. The conventional measurement scheme process usually needs more than 20min, which is difficult to meet the demand of rapid testing of water samples. The reagent consumption of the utility model is about 0.04mL, which is much lower than the reagent consumption of about 1mL in the conventional test, and the consumption of the reagent is reduced.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the application.

[0046] It should be noted that the technical features not described in detail in the utility model can be realized by any existing technology.
