Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air pollution prevention and control, and particularly to a sampling device and method for nitrogen oxides. Background Art
[0002] Nitrogen oxides NOx are the main components of atmospheric reactive nitrogen, which will cause a series of chemical or photochemical reactions in the atmosphere, resulting in air pollution and harming the natural environment and human health.
[0003] Existing NOx sampling techniques include active sampling and passive sampling techniques. The active sampling technique uses a vacuum pump as the power to actively extract NOx in the atmosphere and capture it with an oxidizing absorption liquid, which is mostly used for short-term monitoring. The passive sampling technique uses a microporous filter membrane coated with an absorption liquid, and NOx in the atmosphere diffuses through the microporous filter membrane and is captured by the absorption liquid, which is mostly used for long-term monitoring.

[0054] See Figure 1 , a sampling device for nitrogen oxides shown in the embodiments of the present invention, the device includes: a controller (not shown in the figure), an absorption liquid reservoir 10, and an absorption bottle 20;
[0055] The absorption liquid reservoir 10 and the absorption bottle 20 are arranged in the main body 1; the controller is wirelessly connected to the absorption liquid reservoir 10 and the absorption bottle 20 respectively;
[0056] An air inlet for collecting the atmosphere is arranged on the main body 1;
[0057] Specifically, the absorption liquid reservoir 10 and the absorption bottle 20 can be arranged in one main body 1, and the controller can be wirelessly connected to the absorption liquid reservoir 10 and the absorption bottle 20 in multiple main bodies;
[0058] Optionally, the nozzle of the absorption bottle 20 is spherical, and is evenly provided with circular micropores with a diameter of 1 mm, which can make the gas fully contact with the absorption liquid, ensure the absorption efficiency, and effectively prevent blockage.
[0059] Among them, the absorption bottle 20 is made of high borosilicate glass.
[0060] The absorption liquid reservoir 10 can be a NOx absorption liquid bottle, and the prepared NOx absorption liquid is stored in the absorption liquid reservoir 10.
[0061] It should be noted that the absorption liquid is an absorption liquid composed of 0.25 mol / L potassium permanganate (KMnO4) and 0.5 mol / L sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
[0062] The controller receives the collection instruction sent by the user; when it is determined that the first sampling time corresponding to the collection instruction is reached, the first passage is controlled to be opened; the controller injects a pre-designed amount of absorption liquid in the absorption liquid reservoir 10 into the absorption bottle 20 through the first passage; the controller controls the air inlet of the main body to be in an open state so that the atmosphere enters the absorption bottle 20 from the air inlet;
[0063] The absorption bottle 20 captures the nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere with the absorption liquid to obtain a sample.
[0064] Specifically, NOx in the atmosphere is oxidized to nitrate ions (NO3-) after passing through the absorption liquid, and NOx is stored in the absorption bottle 20. In the range of a flow rate of 1-3 L / min, the absorption efficiency of this method for atmospheric NOx is 100%.
[0065] Among them, hydrogen peroxide is added to the absorption liquid to remove the excessive KMnO4, and then hydrochloric acid is added to neutralize it. At this time, the sample mainly contains NaCl and NaNO3, which can meet the subsequent isotope analysis.
[0066] Optionally, the user can upload the corresponding collection instruction through the controller, and the collection instruction includes the sampling start time of all the collected gases this time, the first sampling time, the second sampling time, and the sampling flow rate, etc.
[0067] It should be noted that the first sampling time is determined based on the sampling start time and can generally be set within 5 minutes after the sampling time; the second sampling time is determined through multiple experiments based on the sampling start time and the sampling flow rate to obtain the total time required for sampling, and the second sampling time is set based on the total time required for sampling, and can generally be set 10 minutes before the end of the total time required for sampling.
[0068] The controller receives the collection instruction and determines to start sampling processing when the current time reaches the sampling start time; when the controller determines that the corresponding first sampling time has been reached, it controls the first passage to open.
[0069] Optionally, before sampling, it is necessary to first check whether the gas pipeline and the liquid pipeline in the nitrogen oxide sampling device are correctly connected.
[0070] Specifically, first, the absorption bottle 20 and the sampling bottle are separately cleaned with ultrapure water and dried; then the absorption bottle 20 and the sampling bottle are respectively installed in the main body 1; then, check whether the connection sequence between different components is correct, such as whether the inlet and outlet directions of the pump and the valve are reversed. If both are correct, it is determined that the gas pipeline and the liquid pipeline are correctly connected.
[0071] Optionally, it further includes:
[0072] The controller starts the automatic airtightness inspection program of the gas path to control the electronic flowmeter and the vacuum pump in the main body 1 to start, and at the same time controls the air inlet to be in a closed state, and obtains the displayed flow rate of the electronic flowmeter. If the final displayed flow rate is 0 L / min, it indicates that the pipeline airtightness is good.
[0073] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , based on the device shown in the above embodiments of the present invention, the nitrogen oxide sampling device further includes: a first electromagnetic valve 31 and a first micro-injection pump 41;
[0074] The first electromagnetic valve 31 is respectively connected to the absorption bottle 20 and the first micro-injection pump 41;
[0075] The first micro-injection pump 41 is connected to the absorbent reservoir 10;
[0076] Specifically, the first electromagnetic valve 31 and the first micro-injection pump 41 are also arranged in the main body 1. The first electromagnetic valve 31 is arranged on the liquid pipeline and is respectively connected to the first port of the absorption bottle 20 and the first micro-injection pump 41 through this liquid pipeline. The first micro-injection pump 41 is connected to the absorbent reservoir 10 through a liquid pipeline.
[0077] Among them, when the controller reaches the first sampling time, it controls the opening of the first passage, specifically for:
[0078] When the controller reaches the first sampling time, it controls the first solenoid valve in the main body to switch to the first passage where the first micro-injection pump is located.
[0079] Among them, the first passage includes the first micro-injection pump 41, the first solenoid valve 31, and the absorbent liquid reservoir 10. That is to say, the first passage refers to the pipeline connected by the first micro-injection pump 41, the first solenoid valve 31, and the absorbent liquid reservoir 10 as the first passage.
[0080] Specifically, the controller executes the NOx absorbent liquid filling program to control the first solenoid valve 31 to first switch to the first passage connected to the pipeline of the first micro-injection pump 41.
[0081] Correspondingly, the controller injects the pre-designed amount of absorbent liquid in the absorbent liquid reservoir 10 into the absorption bottle 20 through the first passage, specifically for:
[0082] The controller controls the first micro-injection pump 41 to start, so that the first micro-injection pump 41 extracts the pre-designed amount of absorbent liquid from the absorbent liquid reservoir 10 and injects it into the absorption bottle 20.
[0083] Specifically, the controller controls the first micro-injection pump 41 to start, and quantitatively extracts 50 mL of NOx absorbent liquid from the absorbent liquid reservoir 10 and injects it into the absorption bottle 20.
[0084] It should be noted that the pre-designed amount is set by technicians in advance according to the actual situation, and generally 50 mL can be quantitatively extracted.
[0085] Optionally, after the controller detects that the filling of the absorbent liquid fed back by the first micro-injection pump 41 is completed, it controls the first micro-injection pump 41 to close and the first solenoid valve 31 to disconnect.
[0086] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , based on the device shown in the above embodiments of the present invention, the nitrogen oxide sampling device further includes: a filter membrane clamp 50;
[0087] A microporous filter membrane 51 and a nylon filter membrane 52 are arranged in the filter membrane clamp 50;
[0088] Specifically, the microporous filter membrane 51 and the nylon filter membrane 52 are respectively installed in the filter membrane clamp 50 from top to bottom.
[0089] The filter membrane clamp 50 is arranged at the air inlet and is connected to the absorption bottle 20;
[0090] The atmosphere enters the filter membrane clamp 50 from the air inlet and is filtered through the microporous filter membrane 51 and the nylon filter membrane 52.
[0091] Specifically, the atmosphere, i.e., the sample gas, enters the filter membrane clamp 50 from the air inlet and passes through the microporous filter membrane 51 and the nylon filter membrane 52 to remove particulate nitrate and gaseous nitrate in the atmosphere respectively.
[0092] The filter membrane clamp 50 is made of Teflon. Multiple layers of filter membranes can be placed inside. The microporous filter membrane 51 and the nylon filter membrane 52 are placed from top to bottom respectively to remove particulate nitrate and gaseous nitrate respectively, so as to avoid affecting the sample.
[0093] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , based on the device shown in the above embodiments of the present invention, the sampling device for nitrogen oxides further includes: a vacuum pump 60;
[0094] The vacuum pump 60 is connected to the absorption bottle 20;
[0095] The controller controls the vacuum pump 60 to start, so that the air inlet of the main body 1 is in an open state.
[0096] Specifically, after the controller controls the first micro-injection pump 41 to close and the first solenoid valve 31 to disconnect, it controls the vacuum pump to start. At this time, the air inlet is in an open state, and at this time, the atmospheric NOx is collected.
[0097] Optionally, the device further includes: an electronic flowmeter 70 and a drying tube 80.
[0098] Specifically, the absorption bottle 20 is connected to the drying tube 80 through a gas pipeline. The drying tube 80 is connected to the electronic flowmeter 70 through a gas pipeline. The electronic flowmeter 70 is connected to the vacuum pump 60 through a gas pipeline. The vacuum pump 60 can output the atmosphere after collecting NOx through a gas pipeline.
[0099] Among them, the drying tube 80 is filled with silica gel desiccant to remove the water vapor carried out by the air flow in the atmosphere and avoid affecting the electronic flowmeter 70 and the vacuum pump 60.
[0100] The controller adjusts the electronic flowmeter 70 to be stable at a preset sampling flow rate of 1 L / min to control the gas flow rate collected.
[0101] Optionally, at the same time, the controller automatically records and stores the cumulative sampling volume of the electronic flowmeter 70 for subsequent concentration calculation.
[0102] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , based on the device shown in the above embodiments of the present invention, the sampling device for nitrogen oxides further includes: a second solenoid valve 32, a sample bottle 90, and a second micro-injection pump 42;
[0103] One end of the second solenoid valve 32 is connected to a plurality of sample bottles 90, and the other end is connected to the absorption bottle 20 through the second micro-injection pump 42.
[0104] Specifically, the second solenoid valve 32 and the plurality of sample bottles 90 are both arranged in the sample chamber 2 inside the main body 1. The second solenoid valve 32 is arranged on the liquid pipeline and is connected to the plurality of sample bottles 90 through the liquid pipeline; the other end is connected to the absorption bottle 20 through the second micro-injection pump 42 via the liquid pipeline.
[0105] It should be noted that the sample chamber 2 includes a refrigeration module. The controller controls the sample chamber 2 to be in a low-temperature state through the refrigeration module, and stores the sample through the sample chamber 2 in the low-temperature state. The temperature of the sample chamber 2 is maintained at 4 °C to reduce the isotope fractionation of the sample.
[0106] Among them, the sample bottle 90 is made of brown Teflon material, which is corrosion-resistant, has low adsorption, and no background pollution.
[0107] It should be noted that the plurality of sample bottles 90 are sample bottles sorted in ascending order of serial number. As Figure 1 shown, 6 sample bottles 90 are set, and the sample bottles 90 are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 respectively.
[0108] When the controller reaches the second sampling time corresponding to the collection instruction, it controls the vacuum pump 60 to close; based on the second solenoid valve 32, it controls the second passage to open, where the second passage is composed of the second solenoid valve 32, the sample bottle 90, and the second micro-injection pump 42;
[0109] The controller controls the second micro-injection pump 42 to open so that the second micro-injection pump 42 extracts the sample in the absorption bottle 20 and injects it into the sample bottle 90.
[0110] Specifically, the controller records the current time in real time. When the current time reaches the second sampling time corresponding to the collection instruction, the vacuum pump 60 closes, and at this time, the air inlet prevents the atmosphere from entering.
[0111] The controller first checks all the current sampling bottles 90, and determines the sampling bottles 90 that are not full and empty at present; finds the sample bottle 90 with the smallest serial number among the sampling bottles 90 that are not full and empty, and uses it as the target sampling bottle 90; controls the second solenoid valve 32 to switch to the passage connected to the current target sampling bottle 90, and controls the second micro-injection pump 42 to open;
[0112] The second micro-injection pump 42 extracts the sample in the absorption bottle 20 and injects it into the target sampling bottle 90.
[0113] If the controller detects that the target sampling bottle 90 is full, it first controls the second micro-injection pump 42 to close, and takes the serial number of the current target sampling bottle 90 + 1 as the next target sampling bottle 90; and controls the second solenoid valve 32 to switch to the passage connected to the next target sampling bottle 90, then controls the second micro-injection pump 42 to open, and repeats the above steps until all samples are extracted.
[0114] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , based on the device shown in the above embodiments of the present invention, the nitrogen oxide sampling device further includes: a waste liquid bottle 100;
[0115] The waste liquid bottle 100 is connected to the second solenoid valve 32, and a third passage is constructed based on the second solenoid valve 32 and the waste liquid bottle 100;
[0116] When the controller detects that the sample extraction is completed, it controls the second micro-injection pump 42 to close, and the second solenoid valve 32 switches to the third passage connected to the waste liquid bottle 100.
[0117] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , based on the device shown in the above embodiments of the present invention, the nitrogen oxide sampling device further includes: a third micro-injection pump 43 and a solution storage tank 110;
[0118] The first solenoid valve 31 is connected to the solution storage tank 110 through the third micro-injection pump 43;
[0119] It should be noted that the solution storage tank 110 pre-stores a preset solution, and the preset solution can be ultrapure water or other solutions, and the embodiments of the present invention do not limit this.
[0120] The fourth passage is composed of the first solenoid valve 31, the third micro-injection pump 43 and the solution storage tank 110;
[0121] When the controller determines that the second solenoid valve switches to the third passage connected to the waste liquid bottle, it controls the first solenoid valve 31 to switch to the fourth passage connected to the third micro-injection pump 43, and controls the third micro-injection pump 43 to open, so that the third micro-injection pump 43 extracts a second measurement of the preset solution from the solution storage tank 110 and injects it into the absorption bottle 20 to clean the absorption bottle;
[0122] The controller controls the third micro-injection pump 43 to close, the first solenoid valve 31 to disconnect, and the second micro-injection pump 42 to open; so that the second micro-injection pump 42 extracts the waste liquid after cleaning in the absorption bottle and injects it into the waste liquid bottle 100 through the second solenoid valve 32.
[0123] It should be noted that the second measurement is set by technicians in advance based on multiple experiments, for example, it can be set to 60 mL.
[0124] Specifically, the third micro-injection pump 43 quantitatively extracts 60 mL of ultrapure water from the solution reservoir 110 and injects it into the absorption bottle 20 to wash the residual absorption liquid in the bottle. After the controller detects that the injection of ultrapure water is completed, it controls the third micro-injection pump 43 to close and the first solenoid valve 31 to disconnect.
[0125] The controller controls the second micro-injection pump 42 to start, extracts the waste liquid after washing in the absorption bottle 20, and injects it into the waste liquid bottle 110 through the second solenoid valve 32. After the waste liquid after washing in the absorption bottle 20 is emptied, the second micro-injection pump 42 is closed and the second solenoid valve 32 is closed. After one sampling cycle of the current collection request is completed, the next sampling cycle can be executed.
[0126] Optionally, the absorption liquid reservoir 10, the waste liquid bottle 110, and the solution reservoir 100 are all arranged in the storage room 3 of the main body 1.
[0127] Among them, the storage room 3 includes a refrigeration module, and the controller controls the storage room 3 to be in a low temperature state through the refrigeration module to store the NOx absorption liquid, ultrapure water, and waste liquid.
[0128] The temperature of the storage room 3 is maintained at 4 °C.
[0129] It should be noted that the absorption liquid bottle and the ultrapure water bottle are made of brown high borosilicate glass to prevent light from affecting the absorption liquid and the growth of bacteria.
[0130] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , based on the device shown in the above embodiments of the present invention, the nitrogen oxide sampling device further includes: a radiator 120 and a heater 130 for temperature control according to the ambient temperature.
[0131] The radiator 120 and the heater 130 are arranged above the main body and are connected to the controller;
[0132] The controller detects the ambient temperature inside and outside the nitrogen oxide sampling device through temperature sensors arranged inside and outside the main body, and controls the radiator 120 and the heater 130 according to the ambient temperature.
[0133] The radiator 120 is used to cool the inside of the nitrogen oxide sampling device. When the deviation between the external ambient temperature and the internal ambient temperature is greater than the first threshold, and the internal ambient temperature is greater than the second threshold, it means that it is currently in the wild in summer and the internal temperature is too high. Effective heat dissipation can ensure the normal operation of the internal electronic components of the instrument. Therefore, the radiator 120 is controlled to dissipate heat.
[0134] The heater 130 is used to heat the inside of the sampler. When the deviation between the external ambient temperature and the internal ambient temperature is greater than the first threshold and the external ambient temperature is less than the third threshold, it indicates that it is currently in the winter in the wild and the internal temperature is too low. The NOx absorption liquid in the absorption bottle 20 may freeze, affecting normal sampling. Therefore, controlling the heater 130 to heat can effectively prevent the liquid in the absorption bottle 20 and the liquid pipeline from freezing and ensure normal sampling of the instrument.
