Rapid detection of chemical oxygen demand, pH value, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and ammonia nitrogen in biogas slurry by near infrared spectroscopy

摘要

Effective treatment of sewage requires accurate measurement of important water quality parameters, such as chemical oxygen demand (COD), pH value, total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), and ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N). Traditional detection techniques can result in secondary contamination and are time- and labor-intensive. Near infrared spectroscopy was used in this study to create a model of these parameters of pig manure anaerobic fermentation sewage. The models' viability for quickly estimating the aforementioned water quality characteristics was reviewed, and the models' performance in predicting the results of several samples (biogas slurry, supernatant, and biogas residue) was contrasted. By analyzing the near infrared spectrograms with a spectral range of 4000 cm−1 and 12 500 cm−1 and using second derivative (SD), Savitzky–Golay smoothing (SG) and standard normal variable (SNV) to preprocess the spectra, partial least squares (PLS) was selected to establish the prediction model. The results showed that the effect of the NIR model constructed from the supernatant was better than that of biogas slurry and biogas residue. The determination coefficients for COD, pH value, NH3-N and TN were 0.69, 0.87, 0.81, and 0.94, respectively. This study could provide reference for on-line monitoring of wastewater in the future.
