Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of waste gas treatment monitoring technology, specifically a biopharmaceutical waste gas treatment monitoring device based on laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the development of science and technology and the significant improvement of people's living standards, the pursuit of health quality has been increasing, and the scale of the biopharmaceutical industry has expanded rapidly. However, in the biopharmaceutical industry, both the experimental research process and the actual production process generate a large amount of polluting and harmful gases. Due to the special nature of drugs, the components of various varieties are completely different, and the acidity and alkalinity of the exhaust gas are also unstable, which poses great harm to water bodies, structures, and crops. In addition, the concentration of pharmaceutical exhaust gas is very high, causing huge pollution to the local air. Therefore, the treatment and monitoring of the components of biopharmaceutical exhaust gas to ensure that they meet the standards is of great significance.
[0003] Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a highly advanced optical detection technology that can theoretically detect the composition of substances in any state, including gaseous, solid, and liquid phases. The basic principle of this technology is to use an ultrashort pulse laser, focused onto the sample surface through a lens, to form a high-temperature plasma within a short time. Subsequently, a spectrometer analyzes the received plasma spectrum and compares it with a comparative spectral database to determine the sample's composition and content. LIBS technology is a laser-based analytical technique that eliminates the need for any sample pretreatment, offering unique advantages. Furthermore, it boasts high analysis speed, enabling real-time in-situ monitoring and measurement with minimal damage to the sample. Therefore, this paper proposes a monitoring device for biopharmaceutical waste gas treatment based on laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings mentioned in the background art, the present invention aims to provide a biopharmaceutical waste gas treatment and monitoring device based on laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy.
[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solution: a biopharmaceutical waste gas treatment and monitoring device based on laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, comprising a waste gas treatment system, a spectral acquisition system, an analysis and processing system, a central control system, and a monitoring and judgment system.
[0006] The exhaust gas treatment system includes an exhaust gas treatment device and an exhaust gas inlet. An exhaust gas inlet is provided below the exhaust gas treatment device. The exhaust gas treatment device is used to treat exhaust gas, and the exhaust gas inlet is used to introduce exhaust gas into the exhaust gas treatment device.
[0007] The spectral acquisition system includes a high-power laser power interface, a laser pump source, a laser resonant cavity, a reflector, a variable laser focuser, a laser beam, a spectral probe, an ICCD detector, and a spectrometer. A high-power laser interface is located below the laser pump source. A laser resonant cavity is located on one side of the laser pump source.

The laser pump source connects to the laser resonant cavity to generate a high-energy laser beam. After the optical path is changed by the reflector, the variable laser focuser focuses the laser beam onto the waste gas to be tested within the cavity. The spectral probe receives the emitted spectrum and is coupled to an optical fiber to transmit the acquired optical signal to the spectrometer. The ICCD detector delay time parameter is optimized by an internal controller equipped with a time delay device. In this embodiment, this design improves detection accuracy.

[0026] The spectral acquisition system includes a high-power laser interface 6, a laser pump source 7, a laser resonant cavity 8, a reflector 9, a variable laser focuser 10, a laser beam 11, a spectral detector 12, an ICCD detector 16, and a spectrometer 17. A high-power laser interface is located below the laser pump source 7. The laser resonant cavity 8 is located on one side of the laser pump source 7. A reflector 9 is mounted on one side of the laser resonant cavity 8. A variable laser focuser 10 is fixedly mounted on the reflector 9. A laser beam 11 is mounted on the variable laser focuser 10. An ICCD detector 16 is located above the laser beam 11. A spectrometer 17 is provided on one side. It should be further explained that in the specific implementation process, an external high-power power supply provides energy to the laser pump source 7. The laser pump source 7 is connected to the laser resonant cavity 8 to generate a high-energy laser beam 11. After the optical path is changed by the reflector 9, the laser beam 11 is focused on the waste gas to be tested in the cavity by the variable laser focuser 10. The spectral probe 12 receives the emitted spectrum. The spectral probe 12 is coupled to the optical fiber and transmits the collected optical signal to the spectrometer 17. The delay time parameter of the ICCD detector 16 is optimized by the internal controller equipped with a time delay device. In this embodiment, this design is used to improve the detection accuracy.
[0027] The central control system includes a central control unit 20. It should be further explained that, in the specific implementation process, the function of the central control unit 20 is to control the mutual operation between the various devices.
[0028] The analysis and processing system consists of a built-in chip in the central control unit 20.
[0029] The monitoring and judgment system includes a gas pressurization device 3, a gas flow monitoring device 4, an airflow balancing device 5, and a gas congestion monitoring device 18. The gas pressurization device 3 is connected to the gas flow monitoring device 4, the gas flow monitoring device 4 is connected to the airflow balancing device 5, and the airflow balancing device 5 is connected to the gas congestion monitoring device 18. The gas pressurization device 3 is used to increase the gas pressure, the gas flow monitoring device 4 is used to monitor the airflow, the airflow balancing device 5 is used to stabilize the airflow, and the gas congestion monitoring device 18 is used to detect whether the airflow is congested.
[0030] It should be further explained that, in the specific implementation process, the central control unit 20 is connected to the booster, high-pressure air pump 15, laser, gas flow detection device, gas congestion monitoring device 18, variable laser focuser 10, spectrometer 17 and Bluetooth module 19.
[0031] It should be further explained that, in the specific implementation process, the waste gas treatment device 1 is connected to a non-monitoring gas pipeline 22, and a waste gas outlet 23 is opened on one side of the non-monitoring gas pipeline 22.
[0032] It should be further explained that, in the specific implementation process, the airflow equalization device 5 is provided with a gas detection chamber 21, and a high-pressure gas injection head 13 is provided on one side of the airflow equalization device 5, and a high-pressure gas pipeline 14 is connected to one side of the high-pressure gas injection head 13.
[0033] It should be further explained that, in the specific implementation process, the high-pressure gas pipeline 14 is connected to the high-pressure gas pump 15.
[0034] It needs further explanation that, in the specific implementation process, such as Figure 2 As shown, when the exhaust gas enters the detection chamber, the gas velocity is faster in the middle of the chamber and slower near the chamber wall. Two mesh airflow equalization devices 5 are used to change the gas velocity distribution, so that the gas velocity distribution is uniform between the two airflow equalization devices 5.
[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the gas equalization device 5 has a mesh structure with centrally symmetrical mesh holes that allow airflow to pass through. The holes in the central part are smaller in diameter, while those at the edges are larger in diameter, which ensures that the gas velocity is evenly distributed throughout the flow.
[0036] Working principle: Turn on the instrument, set the monitoring mode and requirements, and introduce biopharmaceutical waste gas into the waste gas treatment device 1 through waste gas inlet 2. A small amount of treated gas enters the gas flow monitoring device 4 through the booster pipe, while the remaining waste gas is discharged through the non-monitored gas pipeline 22. Before the gas to be monitored enters the detection chamber, the gas flow detection device connects to the central control unit 20 to control the parameters of the booster pipe in real time to ensure safe gas pressure and gas flow rate within the gas chamber. Then, the gas flow rate is evenly distributed within the detection chamber by the gas equalization devices on both sides of the chamber. An external high-power power supply provides energy to the laser pump source 7. The laser pump source 7 connects to the laser resonant cavity 8 to generate a high-energy laser beam 11. After the optical path is changed by the reflector 9, the laser beam 11 is focused onto the waste gas to be tested within the chamber using a variable laser focuser 10. Furthermore, the central control unit 20 controls the variable laser focuser 10. The gas at different locations within the cavity is measured by continuously changing the focal position, improving detection accuracy. The spectral probe 12 receives the emitted spectrum and is coupled to an optical fiber, transmitting the collected light signal to the spectrometer 17. The delay time parameter of the ICCD detector 16 is optimized by an internal controller equipped with a time delay device, improving detection accuracy. The spectrometer 17 transmits the spectral data to the central control unit 20, compares it with the instrument's database, and transmits detailed monitoring results in real-time to computers and mobile phones via Bluetooth module 19, while simultaneously storing them in the built-in chip and the cloud. The detected gas passes through a gas congestion monitoring device 18, which transmits gas flow information to the central control unit 20. If gas congestion occurs, monitoring is immediately stopped. The monitored exhaust gas mixes with the undetected exhaust gas and is discharged from the exhaust outlet 23. During monitoring, the central control unit 20 controls the high-pressure gas pump 15 to periodically spray clean high-pressure gas onto the spectral probe 12, removing impurities near the probe and improving monitoring accuracy.
