Problems solved by technology

Using a single stereo microscope or fluorescence microscope to identify the components of microplastics usually leads to misjudgment; pyrolysis-gas phase-mass spectrometry will destroy the structure of polymers and require high experimental conditions
Micro-Fourier spectroscopy, micro-Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray technology and other non-destructive techniques are also applied to the identification of microplastics, but the shortcomings of these methods need to be improved, such as pyrolysis - Gas chromatography-mass spectrometer will cause damage to the measured sample and is not suitable for further analysis

Abstract

The invention provides a method for detecting density distribution of micro-plastics in marine sediments, belongs to the field of detecting micro-plastics in sediment samples. The invention provides amethod for detecting density distribution of micro-plastics in water environment sediments. The invention remedies the limitations of single flotation fluid on the separation type of microplastics and the cost of pretreatment for high density flotation by using 0.9 to 1.2 g / cm3 of NaCl and 1.20 to 1.55 g / cm3 of KI solution to perform a flotation processing on samples separately, and can separatehigh density microplastics; The invention visually detects suspected micro-plastic particles through a microscope, and then performs a micro-Fourier infrared analysis to improve the accuracy of singleidentification. The calculation of the density distribution of microplastics is highly accurate and simple, and can be applied to the study of density distribution characteristics in a variety of water environment sediments.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of detecting microplastics in sediment samples, and in particular relates to a method for detecting the density distribution of microplastics in marine sediments. Background technique [0002] The emergence of plastics has had a profound impact on people's lifestyles, and the output of plastics has also increased year by year. Currently, an estimated 2.5 billion tons of plastic are in use in the global market; meanwhile, from 1950-2015, 6.3 billion tons of primary plastics were produced and the resulting plastic waste. Plastic waste is difficult to degrade naturally in the environment, and will gradually decompose into particles with a particle size of less than 5mm through physical, chemical and biological effects. Generally, plastic particles with a particle size of less than 5 mm are defined as microplastics (Microplastics). Microplastics have the characteristics of small particle size, strong hydrophobicity, and...
