The invention relates to a microfluidic reactor for electrocatalytic determination of
chemical oxygen demand, and belongs to the field of
environmental monitoring. In the reactor, to-be-detected samples are injected from a sample inlet positioned at the front end of a liquid inlet and flow into the reactor formed by stacking three
layers of components from the liquid inlet below along with
electrolyte, and the to-be-detected samples positioned at different horizontal heights turn along with liquid flow and finally reach the surface of a planar
anode at the bottom under the action of a pinch plate distributed with a micro cone group; and the water flows upwards through a hole in one end of the top side of the buckle plate, passes through the
auxiliary electrode with the hole and finally flows out of the electrolytic tank through a water outlet in the top. Organic matters in the to-be-detected sample are subjected to electrochemical oxidation reaction under the action of the catalyst on the surface of the planar
anode at the bottom of the reactor, and a generated
electric signal is used for quantitatively determining the
chemical oxygen demand of the to-be-detected
water sample. In the invention, the pinch plate distributed with the micro cone group can strengthen organic matters to break through stable horizontal laminar
mass transfer, so that the organic matters in the sample to be detected fully reach the surface of the plane
anode to generate electrochemical oxidation reaction, thereby improving electric signals and
lower limit of detection. According to the characteristics, a more stable and accurate
electric signal can be obtained when the reactor is used for measuring the
chemical oxygen demand, and the
linear range of the measurement is widened, so that the efficient and accurate measurement of the chemical
oxygen demand in a sample to be measured is realized.
