Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water quality testing technology, and in particular to an online COD monitoring and analysis instrument for water. Background Technology

[0002] Against the backdrop of continuous industrialization and urbanization, water pollution has become increasingly prominent. Among these issues, organic pollution has a particularly significant impact on water quality. Large amounts of industrial wastewater, domestic sewage, and agricultural non-point source pollutants enter water bodies without adequate treatment, leading to the accumulation of reducing substances and causing a series of problems such as decreased dissolved oxygen and ecosystem imbalance. This directly threatens the sustainable use of water resources and ecological security. COD, as a core indicator for measuring the total amount of organic matter and reducing substances in water bodies, directly reflects the degree of water pollution. Therefore, accurate monitoring of COD is crucial for understanding the water environment and implementing effective governance. With increasing environmental protection efforts, COD has been incorporated into the national key pollutant emission control system. Relevant laws and regulations clearly require key polluting units to monitor COD in their wastewater discharge in real time and connect to the monitoring platform of the environmental protection authorities to ensure real-time transmission and effective supervision of monitoring data.

[0003] Traditional laboratory COD testing methods rely on manual sampling and offline analysis, which are not only cumbersome and time-consuming, but also difficult to track water pollution in real time, capture dynamic changes in pollution, and meet the needs of rapid response and continuous monitoring. The continuous development of sensor technology, automated control technology, spectral analysis technology, and data transmission technology has enabled instruments to achieve integrated functions of automatic sampling, digestion, detection, data processing, and remote communication. This not only improves the efficiency and accuracy of monitoring, but also reduces errors caused by manual intervention and enhances the stable operation of equipment in complex environments. However, the stability of sensors is easily affected by the complexity of water sample matrix and is relatively sensitive to changes in turbidity and color. When algae and sediment are mixed in the water, measurement interference is easily generated, affecting the accuracy of the data. Utility Model Content
