They play an important role in atmospheric chemical reactions and participate in the formation of various atmospheric reactions, especially in the formation of secondary atmospheric pollution and secondary organic aerosols. Therefore, accurately measuring the concentration of NO3 free radicals in the atmosphere can provide important data for air quality monitoring, pollutant emission control and environmental science research.

[0057] In the following description, numerous details are discussed to provide a more thorough explanation of the embodiments of the present invention. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the embodiments of the present invention can be implemented without these specific details. In other embodiments, well-known structures and devices are shown in the form of block diagrams rather than in detail to avoid making the embodiments of the present invention difficult to understand.
[0058] Example 1
[0059] This embodiment proposes an atmospheric NO3 free radical measurement system based on an open optical path, such as Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of an atmospheric NO3 free radical measurement system based on an open optical path provided in this embodiment includes: a light source module 1, a first convex lens 2, a first high reflectivity lens 3, a second high reflectivity lens 4, a detachable cavity 5, a second convex lens 6 and a spectrometer 7.
[0060] Among them, the light source module 1 is used to emit a light beam of a specific wavelength. The first convex lens 2 is used to focus the light beam emitted by the light source module 1. The first high reflectivity lens 3 is arranged behind the first convex lens 2, and the second high reflectivity lens 4 is arranged opposite to the first high reflectivity lens 3, and together they form an optical resonant cavity, so that the light beam is reflected multiple times between the first high reflectivity lens 3 and the second high reflectivity lens 4. The detachable cavity 5 is arranged between the first high reflectivity lens 3 and the second high reflectivity lens 4, and is used to form a closed sampling cavity when collecting zero-point spectrum and calibrating reflectivity. After the detachable cavity 5 is removed, an open light path is formed between the first high reflectivity lens 3 and the second high reflectivity lens 4. The second convex lens 6 is arranged behind the second high reflectivity lens 4, and is used to focus the light beam after multiple reflections in the open light path. The spectrometer 7 is used to receive the spectral information of the light beam focused by the second convex lens 6 to obtain the concentration of NO3 free radicals in the atmosphere.
[0061] In this embodiment, the system further includes a first optical fiber 8 and a second optical fiber 9 .
[0062] The light beam emitted by the light source module is transmitted to the first convex lens 2 through the first optical fiber 8;
[0063] The light beam focused by the second convex lens 6 is transmitted to the spectrometer 7 through the second optical fiber 9 .
[0064] In this embodiment, a first air inlet 10 is provided on a light emitting surface side of the first high reflectivity lens 3 , and a second air inlet 11 is provided on a light incident surface side of the second high reflectivity lens 4 .
[0065] In this embodiment, the light source module 1 is an LED light source, which is coaxially arranged with the first high reflectivity lens 3 and the first high reflectivity lens 4. The wavelength range of the light beam emitted by the LED light source covers 640-680nm, and the central wavelength is 660nm.
[0066] In this embodiment, the system further includes a temperature and humidity sensor, which is used to measure the temperature and humidity of the environment in real time.
[0067] In this embodiment, the system further includes a zero-point spectrum library module, which is used to collect zero-point spectra under different temperature and humidity conditions and store them in the zero-point spectrum library.
[0068] It is understandable that, through the design of the open optical path, the system can directly sample the air between the high-reflection lenses, avoiding the wall loss of NO3 radicals in traditional active sampling, thereby improving the sensitivity and accuracy of the measurement. At the same time, the introduction of the design of the detachable cavity 5 not only realizes the flexible switching of zero air and actual atmospheric sampling, but also the LED light source and the first high-reflectivity lens 3 and the first high-reflectivity lens 4 are coaxially arranged to ensure that the light beam is not obstructed during multiple reflections, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the spectral signal. Secondly, the introduction of the zero-point spectral library method effectively compensates for the influence of temperature and humidity changes on the light source and spectrometer 7, eliminates the spectral shift caused by environmental changes through dynamic calibration, further improves the reliability of the measurement results, and the input of the real-time water vapor absorption cross section accurately eliminates the influence of water vapor absorption on NO3 radical measurement, thereby improving the accuracy of the measurement results. Overall, the present invention provides a high-precision, flexible and stable atmospheric NO3 radical measurement scheme, which has a wider application potential and is particularly suitable for fields such as atmospheric environment monitoring and pollutant emission assessment.
[0069] Example 2
[0070] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment proposes an atmospheric NO3 free radical measurement method based on an open optical path, which is applied to an atmospheric NO3 free radical measurement system based on an open optical path as in the above embodiment, including:
[0071] S1: Install the detachable cavity 5 between the first high reflectivity lens 3 and the second high reflectivity lens 4 to form a closed sampling cavity. At this time, the optical path in the cavity is closed, and the zero-point spectrum can be collected and the reflectivity can be calibrated. The installation of the cavity ensures that the propagation of the light beam in the optical system is not disturbed by external gases, which is suitable for stable measurement of background signals.
[0072] S2: Nitrogen is introduced into the closed sampling chamber through the first air inlet 10 and the second air inlet 11. The role of nitrogen is to clear the air in the chamber to avoid interference from gases such as water vapor. At the same time, nitrogen as a purge gas can also protect the high reflectivity lens from particulate contamination. By introducing nitrogen, it can be ensured that when collecting the zero-point spectrum, there are no other gas components in the system that may affect the spectral analysis.
[0073] S3: Start the light source module 1 and emit a light beam through the light source module 1. After being focused by the first convex lens 2, the light beam passes through the installed closed sampling cavity and is reflected between the first high reflectivity lens 3 and the second high reflectivity lens 4. After multiple reflections, the light beam is finally focused again by the second convex lens 6 and transmitted to the spectrometer 7.
[0074] S4: The spectrometer receives the light beam and records the spectrum information as the zero-point spectrum, and stores the zero-point spectrum in the zero-point spectrum library. Since the cavity is in a nitrogen environment, the measured spectrum data is the zero-point spectrum. The zero-point spectrum is stored in the zero-point spectrum library module as a comparison benchmark for subsequent actual sampling.
[0075] S5: Before the actual measurement, the detachable cavity 5 is first removed from the system. After the cavity is removed, an open optical path is formed between the first high reflectivity lens 3 and the second high reflectivity lens 4. At this time, the optical path is no longer closed, and the system is in direct contact with the atmospheric environment.
[0076] S6: Re-emit the light beam for actual sampling. Start the light source module 1 and re-emit the light beam. After being focused by the first convex lens 2, the light beam passes through the open light path between the first high reflectivity lens 3 and the second high reflectivity lens 4, and in the process interacts with molecules such as NO3 free radicals in the external atmosphere to generate a spectral absorption signal.
[0077] S7: After being reflected, the light beam is focused by the second convex lens 6 and transmitted to the spectrometer 7. At this time, the light beam received by the spectrometer 7 carries the characteristic spectrum information of NO3 free radicals in the atmosphere.
[0078] S8: The spectrometer 7 receives the light beam and records the spectrum information as a sample spectrum.
[0079] S9: Compare the sampled spectrum with the zero-point spectrum in the zero-point spectrum library to determine the concentration of NO3 free radicals in the atmosphere.
[0080] In this embodiment, the sample spectrum is compared with the zero-point spectrum in the zero-point spectrum library to determine the concentration of NO3 free radicals in the atmosphere, including:
[0081] A zero-point spectrum is selected from the zero-point spectrum library as the reference spectrum I0.
[0082] According to the reference spectrum, the material absorption coefficient α(λ) is calculated, and its expression is as follows:
[0083]
[0084] Wherein, I is the sampling spectrum, R(λ) is the reflectivity of the high reflectivity lens at wavelength λ, and d is the effective cavity length between the first high reflectivity lens 3 and the second high reflectivity lens 4.
[0085] The concentration of NO3 free radicals was calculated by the least squares fitting method based on the absorption coefficients α(λ) of multiple substances.
[0086] It should be noted that the periodic changes in the day and night temperature and relative humidity in the atmosphere will have a significant impact on the light source and spectrometer 7 of the measurement system. This impact will cause the sampled spectrum to shift to varying degrees, thereby causing deviations in the NO3 radical concentration obtained by spectrum analysis. In addition, since the system uses an open optical path for passive sampling, the traditional chemical titration method cannot obtain a dynamic zero point. The present invention innovatively proposes a zero-point spectral library method, which aims to effectively eliminate the impact of temperature and relative humidity changes on the sampled spectrum.
[0087] The zero-point spectrum library of the present invention covers a large number of zero-point spectra reflecting the day-night changes in temperature and relative humidity. In practical applications, when calculating the absorption coefficient α, the system will intelligently select the zero-point spectrum closest to the current sampled spectrum I temperature and relative humidity as I0. This method can effectively eliminate the sampling spectrum offset caused by changes in environmental factors, thereby making the calculated absorption coefficient α more accurate and closer to the actual situation.
[0088] LED light sources have an inherent temperature drift phenomenon. As the temperature of the light source changes, the light intensity characteristics and emission wavelength of the LED will change accordingly. In addition, the CCD in the spectrometer 7 will also be affected by temperature during operation, causing the collected spectrum to present varying degrees of noise. If a fixed zero-point spectrum I0 is still used in this case, when the light source has a temperature drift, the band of the sampled spectrum I will mismatch with I0. This mismatch will cause the baseline drift of the absorption coefficient α, ultimately resulting in a large uncertainty in the NO3 radical concentration obtained by the spectrum analysis.
[0089] The present invention ensures that the environmental influences on the light source and the spectrometer 7 are basically consistent by selecting a zero-point spectrum that is highly consistent with the temperature and relative humidity of the sampling spectrum I. This strategy can largely eliminate the drift effect caused by temperature and relative humidity changes on the light source and the spectrometer 7 when calculating the absorption coefficient α, thereby significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of the measurement. Among them, there are many choices for the zero-point spectrum, and the nitrogen spectrum can be selected as the zero-point spectrum library. The sampling spectrum at noon (without NO3 free radical absorption) can also be selected as the zero-point spectrum. When the sampling spectrum at noon is used as the zero-point spectrum, the influence of partial water vapor absorption and particulate matter absorption can be eliminated at the same time.
[0090] like Figure 3 As shown, the present invention adopts a high-power monochromatic LED red light source, whose central wavelength is at 660nm and the effective wavelength range covers 640-680nm. This wavelength range just includes the main absorption peak of NO3 free radical near 662nm.
[0091] Based on the spectral characteristics of NO3 radicals, in actual observations, the absorption coefficients α of non-NO3 radical absorption bands such as 640-650nm and 668-680nm should remain relatively stable and close in value. However, the temperature drift of the light source will cause the absorption coefficients of these two bands to change accordingly.
[0092] Utilizing this principle, the present invention designs Figure 4 The exact screening steps shown:
[0093] For each sample spectrum I i (i=1,2,...,m) and all zero-point spectra I in the zero-point spectrum library 0j (j=1,2,...,n), calculate the absorption coefficient α1 in the 645-650nm and 668-673nm bands respectively ij and α2 ij ;
[0094] For each pair of sampled spectra I i and zero-point spectrum I 0j , calculate α1 ij and α2 ij The mean values α1_mean and α2_mean and the standard deviations α1_std and α2_std;
[0095] According to the following formula, the deviation degree X between the sample spectrum and the zero-point spectrum is calculated:
[0096] X=|α1_mean-α2_mean+α1_std+α2_std|
[0097] Repeat the above steps for all zero-point spectra in the zero-point spectrum library to obtain a set of X values;
[0098] Find the minimum value from the X value set and use the zero-point spectrum corresponding to the minimum value as the reference spectrum.
[0099] This process finds the best matching zero-point spectrum I0 for each sampled spectrum I. In this way, the spectral shift caused by temperature drift and other environmental factors can be effectively compensated, thereby greatly improving the accuracy of NO3 radical concentration measurement. It is worth noting that this screening method not only considers the overall shape of the spectrum, but also evaluates the stability of the spectrum by calculating the standard deviation, which makes the selection process more comprehensive and reliable. By performing this screening step for each sampled spectrum, a highly matched set of zero-point spectra I0 is finally obtained, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent calculation of NO3 radical concentration.
[0100] In this embodiment, the concentration of NO3 free radicals is calculated by the least squares fitting method according to the absorption coefficient α(λ) of multiple substances, including:
[0101] Measure the current ambient temperature and humidity in real time, and calculate the absorption cross section of water vapor at wavelength λ based on the current ambient temperature and humidity;
[0102] According to the absorption coefficient α(λ) of multiple substances, the absorption contribution of NO3 radicals, NO2 and water vapor is calculated, and the expression is as follows:
[0103] α(λ)=n NO3 σ NO3 (λ)+n nO2 σ NO2 (λ)+n H2O σ H2O (λ)
[0104] Among them, n NO3 、n NO2 and n H2O Respectively represent the concentrations of NO3 free radicals, NO2 and water vapor, σ NO3 (λ), σ NO2 (λ) and σ H2O (λ) represents the absorption cross sections of NO3 free radical, NO2 and water vapor at wavelength λ, respectively.
[0105] According to the absorption contributions of NO3 radicals, NO2 and water vapor, the concentration of NO3 radicals was extracted using the least squares fitting method.
[0106] In this embodiment, Figure 4As shown in the figure, when calculating the real-time water vapor absorption cross section, it is first necessary to download the high-resolution spectrum data of water from the HITRAN database. Each spectral line will be broadened due to the thermal motion of molecules. This phenomenon is mainly manifested as the Doppler effect under low pressure conditions, resulting in the broadening of the spectral line conforming to the Gaussian distribution, that is, Gaussian broadening. This broadening is mainly affected by temperature. Under high pressure conditions, frequent collisions of molecules or atoms will cause the frequency width of radiation to increase. This broadening increases linearly with the particle density and the pressure of the external particles, which is called pressure broadening. At this time, the distribution of spectral line broadening conforms to the Lorentz distribution, also called Lorentz broadening, which is mainly affected by pressure and the collision cross section of molecules.
[0107] Under actual atmospheric conditions, the spectrum will show the characteristics of both Gaussian distribution and Lorentzian distribution. This distribution between the two is called Viogt distribution. Gaussian function and Lorentzian function are both analytical functions and can be directly solved, but Viogt function is a convolution function and there is no analytical solution. It can only be approximated by algorithm. In order to eliminate the influence of broadening, the Viogt integral approximation method is used to calculate the H2O absorption cross section under set temperature and pressure conditions. In this way, the H2O absorption cross section under specific conditions can be calculated, and then the high-resolution spectrum line and instrument function are used for convolution to obtain the H2O absorption cross section under the corresponding set conditions. This method not only improves the calculation efficiency, but also ensures the real-time input of the water vapor absorption cross section when decomposing the spectrum, making the calculation of NO3 radical concentration more accurate.
[0108] It should be noted that the aforementioned explanation of the embodiment of the atmospheric NO3 free radical measurement method based on an open optical path is also applicable to the atmospheric NO3 free radical measurement system based on an open optical path of this embodiment, and will not be repeated here.
