The invention discloses a photoelectrocatalysis COD (
Chemical Oxygen Demand)
water quality on-line
monitoring system and a detection method, and belongs to the technical field of
water quality analysis. Aiming at the pain points that a traditional
potassium dichromate method needs a strong acid high-temperature toxic
reagent, the detection time is long, the maintenance cost is high, a UV method is poor in
interference resistance, and an existing photoelectrocatalysis method is unstable in
light source, insufficient in
automation and the like, the
system adopts a composite photoelectrode and an integrated thin-layer electrolytic tank integrating three electrodes and is matched with a UV-LED
light source; a miniature shading
shutter is introduced to eliminate the influence of unstable current at the moment when a
light source is turned on; meanwhile, a miniature constant potential
rectifier (for controlling the potential of a
working electrode and collecting light current), a multi-way valve, a two-position three-way valve, a
peristaltic pump, a
water sample-
electrolyte mixer and a bubble sensor (for preventing bubble interference and realizing metering liquid inlet) are integrated, so that a miniaturized and full-automatic integrated structure is formed. The detection method sequentially comprises the following steps of: rinsing the
system, stabilizing a light source, uniformly mixing a
water sample and
electrolyte, pumping into a thin-layer
pool, opening a
shutter to carry out photoelectrocatalysis detection (applying bias
voltage by a constant potential
rectifier and recording
photocurrent), calculating a COD value by combining
photocurrent integration with a
calibration curve, and carrying out waste
discharge reset. Meanwhile, a standard liquid calibration process and a quality inspection process are matched. The device is researched and developed on the basis of the photoelectrochemical degradation principle, does not need strong acid, high temperature and
toxic chemical reagents, is short in detection time, low in detection
lower limit, high in anti-interference capability and low in maintenance cost, and can realize high-precision monitoring of
water quality COD.
