Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of greenhouse gas conversion, and particularly relates to an in-situ infrared double observation device and method of a variable plasma coupling structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] Plasma is the fourth state of matter after solid, liquid and gas. When the external voltage reaches the breakdown voltage, the gas molecules are ionized to produce a mixture including electrons, ions, atoms and atomic groups. Plasma-catalysis is a new branch of plasma processing, which involves the cross of various disciplines, such as physical chemistry, material science and plasma physics. The purpose is to enhance the catalytic reaction by adding plasma to the reaction. The interaction of specific plasma and catalyst may lead to synergistic effect. However, the basic process of current plasma-catalysis is still poorly understood. There are about 6 kinds of particles in low-temperature plasma, including electrons, positive ions, negative ions, ground-state atoms or molecules, excited-state atoms or molecules and free radicals. These particles are usually more active than the particles generated in chemical reactions, and are more likely to react with the contacted substances, so that the old chemical bonds on the material surface are broken and new chemical bonds are generated at the same time. Low-temperature plasma technology is a rapidly developing material surface modification technology in recent years, which can improve the physical and chemical properties of the material surface without affecting the performance of the material substrate, and has broad application prospects. With the development of low-temperature plasma technology, low-temperature plasma coupled multiphase catalysis technology and material modification technology have gradually become one of the current international frontiers, and have wide application prospects in military and civilian fields.

[0003] For plasma-catalysis research and plasma material modification research, infrared spectroscopy is generally used as an online / offline characterization means for steady-state products and treated solid samples. Infrared spectroscopy belongs to molecular spectroscopy, one of the four spectroscopies, and is an important basic means for determining the composition and structure of molecules. Due to the difficulty of introducing a plasma system with a breakdown voltage as high as tens of kilovolts into the traditional in-situ infrared spectroscopy technology, it is impossible to give the interaction information of plasma and material / catalytic surface in micro-time and space scale and the plasma synergistic mechanism, which limits the development and application of plasma technology in multiple fields. The in-situ infrared spectroscopy technology is an optical diagnostic technology for qualitative and quantitative description of gas molecules and solid surface adsorbed species under different steady-state reaction temperatures, temperature rise rates, gas pressures and material / catalyst types.

[0004] For low-temperature plasma coupled multiphase catalysis research and material modification research, in order to meet the comprehensive diagnosis of multiphase catalysis, material modification and pollutant degradation in the low-temperature plasma synergistic environment, it is urgent to develop an in-situ infrared spectroscopy characterization technology coupled with plasma.

[0005] Chinese patent application CN201510996781.9 discloses a device and method for in-situ capturing of heterogeneous catalytic reaction intermediates, the device comprising a reaction gas control system, an in-situ infrared cell system, and an analysis testing system. Its feature is that it can monitor online the intermediates and products with low content (ppm level), thereby enabling comparison of the performance of the catalyst and research of the heterogeneous catalytic reaction mechanism.

[0006] Chinese patent application CN201811475969.9 relates to a high-vacuum condition low-temperature to high-temperature controllable temperature infrared in-situ reaction cell. Its feature is that the in-situ cell can realize gas inlet under high-vacuum condition, vacuum maintenance, precise control from low temperature (110 K) to high temperature (1000 K or above), thereby enabling in-situ research of gas adsorption and reaction of powder samples and thin film samples under different conditions and effectively excluding the influence of background atmosphere.

[0007] Chinese patent application CN202020729407.9 relates to a photocatalytic material in-situ infrared cell system. Its feature is that the utility model can realize real-time monitoring of light.

[0008] Chinese patent application CN201920868008.8 discloses an in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy reaction cell capable of providing a plasma environment and enabling in-situ detection of the structure of catalyst surface species in the plasma environment.

[0009] In summary, the most mature research at present is the plasma-coupled in-situ infrared cell based on the straight-through transmission type, which has simple structure and low cost, but has strict sample preparation requirements for the sample, cannot meet the measurement of special-shaped materials, and has a single fixed form of coupling plasma (mostly dielectric barrier discharge), has small space for modification; the diffuse reflectance type in-situ infrared cell gradually introduced in recent years has the technical characteristics of modular structure design, various sample coupling modes, and wide working condition range, and is easy to couple with various plasma forms and modify, but it must be pointed out that the existing commercial in-situ cells only consider application and characterization under variable temperature, variable gas pressure environment, but there is no existing commercial technical solution for the high-voltage introduction and insulation problems that must be solved for plasma in-situ reaction; at the same time, the existing technology mainly focuses on simple infrared spectrum collection, and lacks linkage diagnosis of gas phase transient products and steady-state products.

They are fixed in the corresponding optical path positions by a pre-reserved slot structure on the inner wall of the cavity to achieve specular reflection and diffuse reflection of infrared light.

6. The in-situ infrared dual-observation device with a variable plasma coupling structure according to claim 1, characterized in that: The air inlet and outlet are connected to the air supply system and the separation and purification system, respectively. The air pressure level in the cavity is controlled by a vacuum pump and a barometer. The water inlet / outlet of the base forms a loop with the water-cooled circulating pump. The circulating water enters from the bottom and exits from the top. Tap water is used as raw material, and the flow rate is 0-5 L / min.

7. A testing method for an in-situ infrared dual-observation device with a variable plasma coupling structure according to any one of claims 1-6, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: Step (1): Based on experimental requirements, select one of the following structures as the high-voltage electrode and assemble it with the cavity of the in-situ reaction observation unit: needle type / plate type / dielectric barrier discharge / jet structure. Step (2): Start all devices in the signal acquisition control unit, confirm that the emission spectrometer and signal generator can trigger and acquire signals normally, and after the communication between the host computer and each instrument is normal, preset the experimental parameter information in the host computer. Step (3): Open the high-pressure cylinder and ball valve to allow the gas to flow into the corresponding pipeline. The host computer controls the purge gas to enter the in-situ reaction observation unit according to the preset program. After the emission spectrometer collects the background spectrum, it feeds back to the host computer and drives the flow controller to realize valve switching and flow control of the raw material gas. After being fully mixed, the gas flows into the in-situ reaction observation unit. Step (4): Collect and obtain the real-time spectrum of the raw material after it flows through the in-situ reaction observation unit. After the spectrum is deciphered by the host computer, the signal is fed back to the signal generator and the water-cooled circulating pump. The signal generator excites plasma generation according to the preset parameter range. Step (5): The emission spectrometer collects data cyclically, and the plasma initiation is confirmed by the change of the spectral signal. The data is then transmitted to the host computer for analysis to obtain the evolution trend of the signal intensity over time. In-situ reaction observation is realized simultaneously. Step (6): Adjust the resistance heating system and vacuum pump to control the temperature and pressure of gas molecules in the cavity. After the spectral acquisition signal is reverse-analyzed by the host computer, it is fed back to the signal generator in real time for adjustment to ensure the stable initiation of plasma. Step (7): When the acquired signal changes abnormally, the host computer controls the signal generator and the resistance heating system to stop working, and further sends a signal to control the flow controller, water-cooled circulating pump, emission spectrometer and vacuum pump to shut down, and at the same time triggers the alarm. Step (8): After eliminating the abnormality, turn off the alarm, reset the cavity of the in-situ reaction observation unit, and repeat steps (2) to (6) according to the requirements.
