[0003] The outline of each of these measurement methods is briefly described. First, in the light reflection type oil film detection method, a light beam is applied to a water surface using a laser or LED as a light source, and the reflectance of the reflected light increases. By utilizing this, an oil film is detected. The image monitoring method using a TV camera illuminates the water surface with an illuminating device, takes an image of the water surface with a TV camera, binarizes the obtained image, and uses the fact that the reflectance of the oil film is greater than that of water to form an oil film. It is a method of detecting. The extraction / infrared absorption measurement method is a method of extracting an oil component in an extraction solvent such as carbon tetrachloride and measuring an absorption spectrum with an infrared spectrometer to measure the oil concentration. Emulsification
In the turbidity measurement method and the emulsification / ultraviolet absorption measurement method, the oil component is emulsified with an emulsifier, and the emulsified component is measured with a turbidity meter and U
This is a method of measuring the oil content by performing each measurement with a V meter. Apparatuses utilizing these various measuring methods have been put to practical use.

However, the conventional oil detecting method and apparatus have a problem that it is difficult to detect a trace amount of oil. For example, when raw water taken from a river at a water purification plant is contaminated with oil, it is a serious accident even in a very small amount from the point of being used for drinking, and a detection capability on the order of ppb is required. However, at present, since the oil content detection device does not have sufficient sensitivity, a method is often used in which a person smells and determines the presence or absence of oil content.
In addition, the oil content in water is not only present as an oil film on the water surface, but also includes a trace amount of oil content dispersed as a colloid in water. The conventional light reflection type oil film detection method and the image monitoring method using a TV camera have a disadvantage that a trace amount of oil in water cannot be detected. On the other hand, the extraction / infrared absorption measurement method, emulsification / turbidity measurement method, and emulsification / ultraviolet absorption measurement method can detect oil-in-water, but the sensitivity is p
In addition to the lack of sensitivity in the order of pm or sub-ppm, there are disadvantages that the sample requires pretreatment for measurement.

According to the present invention, the above-mentioned problem is solved by three means utilizing the measurement of "surface plasmon resonance angle". The first means of the present invention uses a surface plasmon optical system to detect a minute amount of oil in a solvent such as water concentrated in a lipophilic film as a change in dielectric constant (refractive index). Here, the “surface plasmon optical system” is a light emitting unit that emits light, a light reflector that can exhibit surface plasmon resonance by irradiating the light, and a lipophilic film that covers the surface of the light reflector. And a mechanism for bringing a sample solvent into contact with the surface of the lipophilic film, and a light detecting unit for measuring the amount of light reflected from the light reflector or the surface plasmon resonance angle.

A surface plasmon is a plasma wave in which the charge density oscillates collectively on a metal surface or the like and travels on the surface. As a simple generation method, a surface plasmon is applied to one surface of a dielectric such as a high refractive index prism. Coating (fixing) metal thin film
When a light beam is incident at an appropriate angle (θ), the plasmon wave can be excited on the surface of the metal thin film by matching the propagation speed of the evanescent wave. Here, the evanescent wave is a surface wave of light that penetrates the outside of the prism and propagates on the prism surface when a light ray is incident at a total reflection angle. When the reflected light intensity is measured using a surface plasmon optical system while changing the reflection angle (θ), the light energy is transferred to the surface plasmon at a certain angle, and the reflected light output at that reflection angle is significantly reduced. Is observed. This reflection angle is the “surface plasmon resonance angle”.

When the metal thin film is sufficiently thin, the surface plasma wave transmits through the metal and has an electric field distribution in the sample.
Therefore, the surface plasmon resonance angle changes depending on the dielectric constant (refractive index) of a substance on the metal surface. When the surface of the metal thin film is coated with a lipophilic film, a trace amount of oil in a solvent such as water is adsorbed and concentrated on the lipophilic film. Since this corresponds to the above-mentioned "change in the dielectric constant (refractive index) of the substance on the metal surface", it causes a change in the surface plasmon resonance angle, and by measuring this, it becomes possible to detect a minute amount of oil. .

The reason for the high sensitivity of this method is that the energy of the surface plasma wave is maximum at the interface and decays exponentially in the depth direction of the sample. This is because high measurement sensitivity can be obtained with respect to a change in the dielectric constant (refractive index) of the substance. A second means of the present invention is to measure a difference in signal output from a surface plasmon optical system having a lipophilic film and a signal output from a surface plasmon optical system without a lipophilic film. Is detected. For example, when trying to detect a trace amount of oil in river water, the surface of the detection unit is contaminated with contaminants other than oil, and the output value of the surface plasmon resonance angle changes. Further, the output also changes due to the temporal change of the optical system and the signal processing unit. In this method, in addition to a surface plasmon optical system having a lipophilic film, a surface plasmon optical system without a lipophilic film is provided as a reference. Since non-oil contaminants contaminate both surfaces with and without lipophilic films, the difference in output between surface plasmon optics with lipophilic films and surface plasmon optics without lipophilic films can be reduced. Observation makes it possible to detect trace amounts of oil resistant to dirt. In addition, the change over time of the optical system and the signal processing unit is considered to be the same regardless of the presence or absence of the lipophilic film, so the surface plasmon optical system with the lipophilic film and the surface plasmon optical system without the lipophilic film By observing the difference between the outputs of the above, it is possible to detect a trace amount of oil that is less affected by the change over time.

In the third means of the present invention, the classification of the oil component is performed simultaneously with the detection of the trace oil component by covering each of the plurality of surface plasmon optical systems with a different type of lipophilic film. For example, the trace oil content of river water includes various components such as kerosene, heavy oil, industrial waste oils, and edible oils, and each component has a different alkyl group length and a characteristic functional group. In order to classify these oils according to their properties, each of the lipophilic films characteristically binding to each oil component is selected and the output from the surface plasmon optical system having a different lipophilic film is measured. Becomes possible.

[Embodiment 1] FIG. 1 shows an apparatus for detecting a trace amount of oil in water as an embodiment of the first invention. Sample water 1 containing a trace amount of oil
Is guided to the flow cell 3 by the water intake pipe 2 and then discharged as drainage 4. A light reflector 5 for generating surface plasmon resonance is provided above the flow cell 3. The light reflector 5 has a silver thin film 7 having a thickness of about 50 nm fixed to the lower surface of a cylindrical prism 6 by vacuum evaporation. Further, its lower surface is covered with a lipophilic film 8 by a method described later. The light beam from the semiconductor laser light source 9 is converged by the lens 10 and the prism 6, and the focal point is formed on the surface of the silver thin film 7. Since the light beam is narrowed, the silver thin film 7 has a deflection angle of about ± 10 ° from the optical axis.
Will be incident on the surface. At this time, a sharp attenuation occurs in the amount of reflected light of light incident on the surface of the silver thin film 7 from a certain angle (surface plasmon resonance angle) that meets the conditions for generating surface plasmon resonance. This surface plasmon resonance angle is
It is obtained from the sharp light attenuation peak position that appears when the reflected light is measured by the 1024-element linear image sensor 11.

The measurement signal of the linear image sensor 11 is sent to the signal processing unit 12, and the signal processing unit 12 calculates the shift of the surface plasmon resonance angle. When the shift exceeds a preset value, it is determined that oil has been mixed. Then, an alarm is notified to the outside if necessary.

[Embodiment 2] FIG. 2 shows an apparatus for detecting a trace amount of oil in water as an embodiment of the second invention. In this figure, the same components as those shown in FIG. 1 indicate the same components.
In this embodiment, the light beam from the semiconductor laser light source 9 is divided into two light beams by a half mirror 13 and a mirror 14, and the two light beams are respectively incident on different positions on the surface of the silver thin film 7. Light rays incident on different positions on the surface of the silver thin film 7 respectively excite surface plasmon resonance. The lipophilic film 8 is coated on the incident position of the first light beam, but the lipophilic film is not coated on the incident position of the second light beam.
Each reflected light is received by each of the linear image sensors 11 and 15, and each surface plasmon resonance angle is measured. Each measurement value is sent to the signal processing unit 12, and the signal processing unit 12 calculates the difference between the two surface plasmon resonance angle measurement values. If the difference exceeds a preset value, the oil component is mixed. It is determined that there is, and an alarm is notified to the outside if necessary. Since the apparatus of the second embodiment uses the measured value of the surface plasmon optical system having no lipophilic film as a reference, phenomena that occur regardless of the presence or absence of the lipophilic film, for example, contamination, time-dependent change in diameter And the effect of high reliability can be detected.

[Embodiment 3] FIG. 3 shows an apparatus for detecting a trace amount of oil in water as an embodiment of the third invention. In this figure, the same components as those shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 indicate the same components. In this embodiment, the light beam from the semiconductor laser light source 9 is divided into three light beams by the half mirrors 13, 16 and the mirror 14, and the three light beams are respectively incident on different positions on the surface of the silver thin film 7. Light rays incident on different positions on the surface of the silver thin film 7 respectively excite surface plasmon resonance. A first lipophilic film 8 is coated on the incident position of the first light beam, and a second lipophilic film 17 having different properties is coated on the incident position of the second light beam. A third lipophilic film 18 having a different property is coated on the incident position of the third light beam. The respective reflected lights are respectively received by the linear image sensors 11, 15 and 19, and the respective surface plasmon resonance angles are measured. Each measured value is sent to the signal processing unit 12, and the signal processing unit 12 determines whether each measured value does not exceed a preset value,
If it exceeds, it is determined that the oil component corresponding to each lipophilic film has been mixed, and an alarm is notified to the outside if necessary. All three different lipophilic membranes were made using the silane couplers described above, with varying lengths of the hydrophobic alkyl chains. Since the lipophilic membrane having a long alkyl chain easily bonds to the oil component having a long alkyl chain, and the lipophilic membrane having a short alkyl chain easily bonds to the oil component having a short alkyl chain, a small amount of oil is used by using the apparatus of the third embodiment. Oil content can be classified at the same time as detection.

The trace oil detecting devices of Examples 1 to 3 use a flow cell to guide the sample water to the surface of the lipophilic membrane as a mechanism for bringing the sample solvent into contact with the surface of the lipophilic membrane. For measuring the water quality of a drainage pond, a water tank, a pool, or the like, the measurement may be performed by immersing the detection surface including the lipophilic membrane directly in the sample water. Further, the trace oil detecting devices of Examples 2 and 3 irradiate one light reflector with a plurality of light beams to excite surface plasmons, but the same applies when irradiating a plurality of light reflectors with a plurality of light beams. Can be achieved.
