An
activated sludge floc
specific gravity measuring method based on
spectrophotometry and
cell separation includes a testing stage and a
data processing stage. The testing stage includes the steps that firstly,
Percoll mixed solutions with different specific gravities are prepared; secondly, different
specific gravity gradient
layers are prepared; thirdly, a sample is injected; fourthly,
centrifugation is conducted; fifthly, sampling is conducted; sixthly, detection is conducted.
Data processing includes the steps that the differences between the absorbancy values of
Percoll and
sludge floc mixed solutions and the absorbancy value of a blank sample are calculated, the sum of the differences of the absorbancy values is calculated, accordingly the proportion of the absorbancy differences, accounting for the sum, of the
Percoll mixed solutions with different specific gravities is calculated, and finally, according to the specific gravities of the Percoll solutions with different gradients and the proportion accounted by the solutions, the final
specific gravity of
sludge floc is calculated by means of weighted average. The method is combined with the
spectrophotometry measurement method, accurate measurement of the specific gravity of the
activated sludge floc is achieved, and influences of the specific gravity of the
activated sludge floc on activated
sludge settleability are determined.
