This standard specifies a portable Fourier transform infrared spectrometry method for the determination of gaseous pollutants (SO2, NO, NO2, CO, CO2) in waste gas from stationary pollution sources
.
This standard will be implemented from June 1, 2022
.

 

Method principle:
 

When infrared light with a continuous wavelength irradiates the molecules of the substance to be tested, the infrared light with the same natural vibration frequency of the molecule is absorbed, and an infrared absorption spectrum with the wave number as the abscissa and the absorbance as the ordinate is obtained
.
Different substances absorb infrared light differently, and the wave numbers of characteristic absorption peaks are different
.
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy is to convert the light emitted by the infrared light source into interference light through a Michelson interferometer, and then irradiate the gas sample with the interference light to obtain an infrared interferogram.
The infrared absorption spectrum is obtained by the computer system after Fourier transform processing
.
By comparing the infrared absorption spectrum of the gas sample with the infrared absorption spectrum of the standard substance in the standard spectrum library, the sample can be qualitatively analyzed
.
Under certain conditions, the characteristic absorption peak intensity and concentration of the target compound in the infrared absorption spectrum follow the Lambert-Beer law, and the target compound can be quantitatively analyzed according to the absorption peak intensity

　　Sample determination:
 

　　1.
Place the front end of the sampling tube in the exhaust cylinder and as close to the center as possible, and seal the gap around the sampling hole tightly to prevent air leakage
.

 

　　2.
Start the air pump, and measure at the sampling flow specified by the instrument.
After the instrument display is stable, save the measurement data in minutes, measure continuously for 5 min to 15 min, and take the average value as a measurement value
.

 

　　3.
After the measurement of the sample at the same point, clean the analysis system with the zero point gas, so that the indication value of the instrument returns to the vicinity of the zero point and remains stable
.

 

　　4.
Before shutting down, clean the analysis system with zero-point gas to make the indication value of the instrument return to the vicinity of the zero point and keep stable, then turn off the air pump, then turn off the analyzer and preprocessing device, and finally disconnect all parts of the analysis system to end the measurement.
