Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of online monitoring of ambient air, and in particular relates to a direct measurement device and analysis method for methane and non-methane total hydrocarbons in ambient air. Background Art
[0002] Nonmethane Hydrocarbons (NMHC) usually refers to all volatile hydrocarbons and their derivatives (mainly C2 to C8) except methane. HJ 38 and HJ 1012 stipulate that nonmethane hydrocarbons are the sum of other gaseous organic compounds after methane is deducted from total hydrocarbons under the determination conditions specified in the standard (unless otherwise specified, the result is calculated in carbon). In environmental monitoring practice, it can be found that nonmethane hydrocarbons contain not only hydrocarbons, but also hydrocarbon derivatives such as alcohols, aldehydes, acids, esters, ketones, and volatile organic substances above C8. Nonmethane hydrocarbons have greater photochemical activity and are precursors to the formation of photochemical smog.
[0003] At present, there are two methods for measuring methane and non-methane total hydrocarbons: one is to refer to the "Gas Chromatography Method for Determination of Total Hydrocarbons, Methane and Non-methane Total Hydrocarbons in Waste Gas from Stationary Pollution Sources" (HJ 38-2017) and "Direct Injection-Gas Chromatography Method for Determination of Total Hydrocarbons, Methane and Non-methane Total Hydrocarbons in Ambient Air" (HJ 604-2017). The method used is the difference subtraction method, that is, two chromatographic columns are used to determine the content of total hydrocarbons and methane (in terms of carbon), and the difference between the two is the content of non-methane total hydrocarbons; the other is to refer to the "Technical Regulations for Continuous Automatic Monitoring of Non-methane Total Hydrocarbons in Ambient Air (Trial)", and the method used is the direct method, that is, by separating the methane from the total hydrocarbons through chromatographic column separation, valve switching, backflushing and other means, so that the non-methane total hydrocarbons have a separate peak and directly measure their concentration. After a large number of experiments and studies, it has been shown that the direct method is more suitable for the field of continuous online monitoring of non-methane total hydrocarbons in ambient air.
[0004] There are two main methods for directly measuring methane and non-methane hydrocarbons in ambient air on the market. One is the chromatographic column backflush mode, which separates methane and non-methane hydrocarbons through a chromatographic column, then backflushes the non-methane hydrocarbons to calculate the non-methane hydrocarbon content. This method has special requirements for chromatographic column selection. Methane must be separated from other hydrocarbons, and other hydrocarbons cannot be retained too strongly on the chromatographic column. The more components there are and the higher the carbon content of the components, the more severe the peak tailing will be, affecting quantification. In addition, since non-methane hydrocarbons are not enriched, when their content When the concentration is low, it is easy to fail to detect. The other is the adsorbent cold trap enrichment mode, that is, a large amount of ambient air is collected through the cold trap, and non-methane total hydrocarbons are adsorbed under the action of the adsorbent, and then the non-methane total hydrocarbons are released by heating and analysis, and the non-methane total hydrocarbon content is calculated. This method has high requirements on the adsorbent. The higher the component content, the lower the adsorption efficiency, the higher the carbon content of the component, the more difficult the analysis, the longer the use time, the easier the adsorbent is to denature. In addition, when the air humidity is high, large volume injection under low temperature conditions is prone to ice blockage of the adsorbent. Summary of the invention
