研究目的
Investigating the capability of a surface-plasmon-resonance-based sensor to detect polysaccharide molecules, such as Xanthan gum, in water desalination processes.
研究成果
The developed SPR sensor demonstrated a linear response to dissolved Xanthan gum concentrations up to 0.22 g/L, showcasing its potential for online water quality monitoring and bio-fouling detection in desalination plants. Further optimization could enhance its sensitivity and applicability.
研究不足
The sensitivity of the SPR sensor was less than 5 ppm, indicating potential areas for optimization to increase sensitivity. The study also highlighted the saturation of reflected optical power at higher Xanthan gum concentrations due to overcrowded ligand surfaces.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor with a gold nanothin-film chip attached with Concanavalin A (Con A) ligands to detect Xanthan gum concentrations.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Xanthan gum was dissolved in water at varying concentrations for detection.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A 1550 nm laser source, fibre optic circulator, fibre optic collimator, BK7 glass prism, gold nano-film sensor chip, Con A ligands, and an optical power meter were used.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The sensor's response to different Xanthan gum concentrations was measured by observing changes in reflected optical power.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The change in reflected optical power was analyzed to determine the relationship with Xanthan gum concentration.
