| description | The aim of this study is to verify the possibility of detecting oil in the bottom sediment using a fibre optic system. The presence of oil is assessed on excitation–emission spectra obtained from spectral fluorescence signals of the sediment sample. A factory spectrofluorometer coupled with an experimental fibre optic measurement system was used. During the determination of spectra, the fibre optic system is set at a 45° angle to the sediment surface and placed above its surface. The light exciting the fluorescence and the light emitted by the sediment are transmitted in a combined bundle of fibre optic threads. The analysis of excitation–emission spectra of sediments contaminated with oil shows variability of the shapes of fluorescence spectra depending on the type and degree of oil contamination, which indicates the feasibility of the sensor design for detecting oil in the sediment in situ. |
