The invention relates to a device and method utilizing a colorimetric method to measure the
ammonia content of
flue gas. The device comprises a
flue gas sampling temperate constant device, a
flue gas absorbing and acidifying device, a
flue gas liquefying and absorbing device, an absorption liquid metering device, a precise
time sharing addition device, an absorption liquid mixing and color-developing device, and an absorption liquid colorimetric device. The provided method comprises the following steps:
processing the
ammonia in
flue gas, transferring the
ammonia from the gas state to the
liquid state, precisely quantifying the absorption liquid, adding precisely quantified chemical reagents, developing the color in the absorption liquid colorimetric device, measuring the
absorbance of color developed liquid, and finally calculating the ammonia content of
flue gas according to the
absorbance of color developed liquid. According to the method, the ammonia in flue gas is transferred to a liquid solution, and
crystallization and adhesion of
ammonia gas are avoided. The colorimetric principle is utilized, the concentration of
ammonium salt in absorption liquid is measured and can be converted into the concentration of escaped ammonia in flue gas, and thus the precise measurement is achieved.
