Chemical oxygen demand (COD), reflecting the degree of waterbody contaminated by reduction substances, is an important parameter for water quality monitoring. The existing measurement method of waterbody COD takes time and is a complex system, which cannot meet the real-time monitoring requirements of river pollution indicators. We developed the vortex t-structure microfluidic detection chip with the help of microfluidic technology and designed the COD detection system with a high integration degree based on the principle of ozone chemiluminescence, and we have also carried out research on a waterbody COD quantitative detection test. The test results show that the detection chip can generate quantitative and controllable ozone-based bubbles; it also shows the advantages of a simple system and short test time without environmental pollution, which provides some technical support for the online real-time monitoring of river water quality.
