The invention relates to a capturing device for enriching and monitoring polar organic pollutants in water by taking a composite characteristic adsorbent as a receiving phase, which only allows the polar organic pollutants in two forms of a free dissolved state, a colloidal state and the like to enter a trap and be adsorbed due to the limitation of the aperture of an external polymer membrane, really reflects the biological effective state concentration of the polar organic pollutants in the water, can be used for simulating biological monitoring, evaluating the ecological toxicological effect of the polar pollutants, screening 'priority control pollutants' and reasonably managing the use and discharge of the polar pollutants.
Active sampling technique
The active sampling technology is the most common technology for collecting and extracting pollutant residues in water, and is applied to the sample collection process and can finish the sample collection work by external power. Liquid-liquid extraction and solid-phase extraction are two typical types of active sampling methods. The concentration of pollutants collected by liquid-liquid extraction is the total concentration of chemicals in a sample, the compounds in bioavailable and bioavailable forms in the environment cannot be accurately distinguished, and the consumption of organic solvents is high. In order to overcome the drawbacks of liquid-liquid extraction, researchers have developed solid-phase extraction methods, including solid-phase extraction trays, which involve passing a water sample through a cylindrical container containing a polymer material by suction filtration or pumping.
When the active sampling technology is used for sample collection and extraction, if a water body sample is turbid, the sample generally passes through the adsorbent filler after being filtered by the glass fiber filter membrane, so that the filtering time is long. In addition, the loss of contaminants during storage of the sample due to volatilization, adsorption of the reservoir walls, and chemical degradation is a problem with the target contaminants. Moreover, the concentration of the pollutants obtained by the active sampling method can only reflect the pollutant condition at the sampling moment, and the sampling mode is easily influenced by the pulse input of the pollutants. Moreover, trace analysis and biotoxicity testing studies require the collection and handling of large volumes of sample, which is time and labor intensive. Although some researchers adopt a large-volume solid phase extraction sampling system, the problem that the solid phase extraction method is inevitable still exists, and the large-volume sampling system is more time-consuming and labor-consuming when a plurality of sampling points need to be distributed, and the investment cost is high.
Passive sampling technique
Passive is a relatively active way of performing sample collection and contaminant extraction in a passive manner, i.e., without the need for external power or energy. The passive sampling technology is completely based on the process that a chemical substance automatically diffuses from high chemical potential or high escape degree to low chemical potential or low escape degree, and a target pollutant can automatically enter an organic phase along chemical potential difference through passive diffusion. Compared with the active sampling technology, the passive sampling technology is closer to the enrichment mode of pollutants in the biological organism.
Passive sampling techniques have been developed for many years, and currently, passive sampling techniques for organic pollutants in water environments mainly include, but are not limited to, semi-permeable membrane sampling devices (SPMD), solid-phase microextraction devices (SPME), solid-phase extraction trays (ED), polyethylene sampling devices (PEDs), polyoxymethylene sampling devices (POM), and the like. SPMD is formed by filling materials such as triolein in the middle of a semi-permeable membrane made of low-density polyethylene (LDPE), organic pollutants in a water body can be adsorbed by lipid in the membrane through the semi-permeable membrane, and SPMD has been successfully used for measuring hydrophobic organic matters in a water environment and simulating a biological enrichment process for measuring aquatic organisms. SPME sampling usually achieves the distribution balance of target pollutants on a water phase and a SPME phase as soon as possible by stirring, thereby achieving the extraction process of the target pollutants. These passive samplers are widely used to simulate biology to predict the bioaccumulation behavior and bioavailability of hydrophobic organic contaminants in environmental media.
The enrichment phase in the passive sampling technology and the device is a high molecular organic phase, the polarity is generally weaker, and the extraction process is basically completed by the principle of 'similar compatibility', so the passive sampling technologies are mainly suitable for the determination of hydrophobic organic pollutants and are not suitable for polar or hydrophilic organic pollutants, and although researchers are reported to be used for the determination of polar organic pollutants, the effect is not ideal. In recent years, research on drugs and personal care products is more and more focused, and sampling technologies (such as a polar organic pollutant accumulation sampler, POCIS) for these polar organic pollutants are more and more concerned and are generally used for monitoring estrogen, antibiotic and non-antibiotic drugs in water environment. The polar organic pollutant accumulation sampling technology has strong binding force on polar organic pollutants, and can well solve the problems of overlong sampling enrichment time, insufficient enrichment amount and the like when other passive sampling technologies are used for collecting and extracting the polar organic pollutants.
The microporous hydrophilic membrane used in the traditional POCIS technology is generally a polyether sulfone material with the pore diameter of 0.1 micrometer, and in the using process, the problem that the pore diameter of 0.1 micrometer is small, the resistance of a target object when the target object passes through an outer membrane and is extracted by an inner enrichment phase is high, so that the extraction rate is low, after the target object is exposed for 28 days, the target object is still in a linear enrichment stage in a sampler and does not reach the distribution balance, and a series of problems of large deviation, long time consumption and the like are caused in the subsequent application process in practical application. The pore size of 0.1 micron only allows the free soluble polar organic pollutants to enter the sampler but cannot collect the colloidal polar organic pollutants, and the colloidal state in the natural water body is an important existing form of the polar organic pollutants and also has biological effectiveness. In addition, due to the fact that the sampling is carried out in a natural water body for a long time, a biological sedimentation phenomenon easily occurs, the aperture of a polymer membrane on the outer layer of the sampler is blocked by biomass, the sampling rate is influenced, and the sampling cannot be carried out normally. The adsorbent used by the traditional POCIS sampler is mainly an Oasis HLB adsorbent, and the reversed-phase adsorption principle is applied to collect polar and non-polar organic pollutants in a water body. At present, no report exists on a passive sampling technology for polar organic pollutants developed by a mixed adsorption mode (reverse phase adsorption and ion exchange adsorption) mechanism.
Disclosure of Invention
The principle of the invention (economic and efficient polar organic pollutant accumulation sampling technology) is as follows: by selecting the hydrophilic polymer permeable membrane with a proper aperture range as the outer wrapping membrane and combining a specific composite adsorbent as an enrichment phase, the enrichment and extraction of the sampler on broad-spectrum polar organic pollutants in a water environment are ensured, the sample collection time is greatly shortened, the enrichment amount and the analysis sensitivity are improved, the biofouling phenomenon of the sampler is effectively avoided, the sampling cost is reduced, and further the simulation of biological monitoring and the ecological risk evaluation can be efficiently realized.
The invention selects the permeable membrane with larger pore diameter in the aspect of hydrophilic membrane, can effectively enrich and extract most polar organic pollutants distributed in true dissolved phase and water body colloid phase, improves the sampling rate, ensures that typical polar pollutants can reach enrichment balance within 2 weeks, and is convenient for calculating the concentration of pollutants in water.
In the invention, on the selection of the adsorbent of the enrichment phase, factors such as expansibility, application range, use cost and the like of a sampler are fully considered, and five solid phase extraction adsorbents are selected as receiving phases: polystyrene-divinylbenzene resin (suitable for adsorbing polar analytes such as antibiotics and the like which are not sufficiently reserved on C18 or C18 adsorbents), pyrrolidone-bonded polystyrene-divinylbenzene resin (on the basis of polystyrene/divinylbenzene resin, pyrrolidone is bonded, the surface polarity is enhanced, hydrophilic-lipophilic balance is achieved, and the solid-phase extraction adsorbent is suitable for extracting polar and non-polar substances), wherein anion exchange groups are modified on the pyrrolidone-bonded polystyrene-divinylbenzene resin (various acid and basic substances can be extracted without adjusting the pH value), the solid phase extraction adsorbent (which enhances the adsorption performance to weak alkaline substances) and the graphitized carbon black (which has strong adsorption to polar substances) are modified by cation exchange groups on the pyrrolidone-bonded polystyrene-divinylbenzene resin. In order to enable the sampler to adsorb various polar organic pollutants as much as possible in the one-time extraction process, the five filler adsorbents are mixed according to a certain proportion by a certain means, and the composite adsorbent has the reversed-phase adsorption effect with an enlarged polarity range, the weak anion exchange effect and the weak cation exchange effect at the same time, so that mixed-mode solid-phase extraction adsorption is realized, and compared with a single adsorption mode sampler, the composite adsorbent has better selectivity and extraction efficiency.
The invention (polar organic pollutant accumulation sampling technology and sampler) has the advantages that:
the sampling technical principle and the sampler are simple to manufacture, on the basis of later research, a hydrophilic polymer permeable membrane with a larger aperture is adopted, a composite characteristic adsorbent which is wide in application range, economical and feasible is selected, mixed-mode solid-phase extraction adsorption is realized, a passive sampling technology and a sampler can realize high-efficiency enrichment and extraction of various polar organic pollutants in a water environment, the sampler is low in manufacturing and using cost, wide in range of enrichment and extraction target pollutants, short in enrichment time, high in enrichment efficiency and high in analysis sensitivity, and biological sedimentation of the sampler is effectively avoided.
In the sampling technology, the target pollutants can quickly reach distribution balance in the sampler, and the sampler is used as a balance sampler, so that the environment concentration of the target pollutants in the tested water body can be calculated more conveniently.
Therefore, the sampling technology of the invention improves the conventional polar organic pollutant accumulation sampling technology, is more beneficial to monitoring polar organic pollutants in water environment, simulating biological monitoring and evaluating ecological risks, and has great scientific significance.

Detailed Description
For a better understanding of the present invention, reference is made to the accompanying drawings and examples, which are set forth to illustrate, but are not to be construed as the limit of the scope of the present invention.
The polar organic pollutant catcher is used in field experiment in certain sewage plant in Shanghai, and is taken out for elution analysis after being set for 1 day, 3 days, 5 days, 7 days, 14 days, 21 days and 28 days. The invention can simultaneously enrich more than ten kinds of drug polar pollutants and can enrich organic matters which can not be enriched by adopting an active sampling method (solid phase extraction). As can be seen from the accumulated enrichment concentrations of five polar drugs with high detection rates, namely sulfapyridine, sulfamethoxazole, ketoprofen, florfenicol and ofloxacin, the five pollutants can reach enrichment balance within 4 weeks or even shorter time (see the attached figures 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 in the specification for details).
