Introduction

Waste water containing heavy metals (industrial wastewater), are formed in many areas of industrial production. In this galvanic production is one of the most dangerous sources of environmental pollution, mainly from underground water, due to the formation of a large volume of waste water containing contaminants of heavy metals, inorganic acids and alkalis, surfactants and other highly toxic compounds, and also large quantities of solid waste, in particular from the method of reagent disposal of waste water containing heavy metals form sparingly soluble.

Waste water containing heavy metals (industrial wastewater), formed in many areas of industrial production. In this galvanic production is one of the most dangerous sources of pollution environment, mainly surface and underground waters, due to the formation of a large the volume of waste water containing heavy metal contaminants, inorganic acids and alkalis, surfactants and other highly toxic compounds, and also large quantities of solid waste, in particular from the method of neutralization reagent wastewater containing heavy metals in the form of poorly soluble.

2 Sewage and composition analysis

The plant uses a hot-dip galvanizing to extend the life of metal parts. This is the most advanced, reliable, highly efficient protection against various types of corrosion. Zinc shell is a protective barrier, which reduces to a minimum the environmental effects of the environment, as well as resistance to mechanical stress. Zinc also provides electrochemical protection, since in contact with the steel it creates a galvanic cell [1].

However, modern electroplating production falls far short of the requirements of time, both in technology and in the field of ecology. When choosing technology electroplating practically does not take into account environmental requirements. Existing galvanic production built on the same technology, designed to solve only one problem - coating or surface treatment of metals - excluding recycling processes and disposal of electroplating waste, and protection of environmental problems. As a result, a significant amount of heavy metals is in the waste water [2].

Cobalt (Co) was chosen as the controlled parameter.

Rivers and lakes are contaminated as a result of leaching cobalt copper and other ores from the soil during decomposition of extinct organisms (animals and plants), and of course as a result of activity of chemical, metallurgical and metal-working enterprises.

MPC cobalt to the aquatic environment is 0.1 mg/l.

3 Selecting the method for assessing the concentration of heavy metal ions

The main method of assessing the concentration of heavy metal ions has been selected - Extraction-photometric method.

To ensure the extraction method sample preparation subsystem is required which must periodically dosing extract, provide its addition to the work cell.

Photometric technology - the core technology for the determination of concentrations of many liquids and gases used in industry percentage levels. [3].

For example, the absorption spectrum of the cobalt thiocyanate solutions depending on the concentration of thiocyanate is shown in Fig. 1 absorption spectra of solutions of cobalt thiocyanate [4].

			thiocyanate in a concentration

4 The implementation of the method chosen

To implement the extraction-photometric method for measuring the concentration of cobalt (Co) a semiconductor light emitting diode (LED) must be a radiation source with a constant level of radiation, suitable for this purpose. The radiation passes through a diverging lens OB1 and enters the sample to which thiocyanate and is added acetone for binding of cobalt ions and staining it blue. After passing through the sample radiation passes through a converging lens OB2 and fall on the photodetector (OP1). The selected photodiode as a photodetector.

A complete measuring circuit is shown in Fig. 2.

5 Mathematical modeling of the measuring cell parameters

To determine the concentration of cobalt ions is necessary to construct a mathematical model of the selected LED and photodiode [56].

The mathematical description of the passage of light through the optical part of the device

LED emission spectrum is shown in Fig. 3. Block diagram of measuring channel

The spectrum of LED light

Figure 3 – The spectrum of LED light

For the analytical description of the LED emission spectrum we use an expression like:

where S0 – is spectral power density, which is equal to:

Ф0 – radiation flux at the central wavelength Ф0 = 4.32 мВт;

0u – the central wavelength of the emission spectrum 0u = 625 нм;

bu – coefficient depending on the half-width of the spectrum 0u = 30 нм.

Single-lens transmission factor of the lens with the fused quartz of the lens is defined as:

We define a passage through the optical flow cell walls. The transmission coefficient is determined from the condition that the ambient air outside the walls, but inside they are in contact with water (at low concentrations of dissolved substances, they do not affect the coefficient of water refraction).

We determine the flow on the input optical channel as:

We define the spectral density of the input stream as:

Next, we perform construction of a mathematical model of cobalt spectrum. For this spectrum will produce an approximation method of least squares:

Description approximated dependence is of the form:

The resulting relationship is shown in Fig. 4. Mathematical model of the spectrum of cobalt, least squares approximated

Figure 4 – The mathematical model of the spectrum of cobalt, approximated by the method of least squares

Define the approximation error:

We find the optical density and the light output of the optical channel:

Spectral flux density at the output of the optical channel is described by the expression:

As a photodetector using a photodiode, the spectral sensitivity is described by the expression:

The dependences of the photodiode current on the concentration of cobalt ions:

A plot of the current from the photodiode cobalt ion concentration is shown in Fig. 5. photodiode current dependence on the concentration of cobalt ions [7].

Conclusion

As Cobalt (Co) is selected as a controlled parameter as thiocyanate complex at a concentration of 0.1 mol×g/l thiocyanate.

The mathematical description of the process of absorption of the radiation in the optical output of the device was produced by. Obtained is dependence of the optical channel. Metrological characteristics of the developed measuring channel were estimated.
