The Simulation of the Rapid Measurement of Total Phosphorus Content in Sewage

Abstract:

The total phosphorus in water mainly exists in the forms of phosphate, condensed phosphate, and the compound of organophosphorus. Chemical sampling analysis method has low measuring accuracy and takes long time. NIPGA technology is used in order to detect the total phosphorus content in sewage quickly, and MCNP-4C is used to take simulating calculation. The calculating results show that the measuring accuracy is lower when the total phosphorus content is less than 0.10 mg/L. But this approach can meet the measurement requirements of total phosphorus content in II-type, III-type, IV-type and V-type water.
