The present invention belongs to the technical field of determination of
carbon isotope composition of
methane in gas, and specifically discloses an online
continuous flow extraction device for
methane in gas and a
carbon isotope composition analysis method, the device comprises a first six-way valve, a plurality of
helium inlets connected to the first six-way valve, a second six-way valve connected to the first six-way valve, a
helium inlet connected to the second six-way valve, a
carbon dioxide collection
pipe connected to the second six-way valve, a single-opening
quartz tube connected to the second six-way valve, and a stable
isotope mass spectrometer connected to the second six-way valve, the method is as follows: step 1, gas sample loading; step 2, back-blowing to degas, exhaust the air in the pipes at both ends of the gas collection
pipe; step 3, oxidation, purification and collection of
methane in the gas; step 4,
carbon dioxide sublimation injection; step 5, methane carbon
isotope determination. The present invention solves the problems of excessive consumption of
sample preparation gas for offline pretreatment, cumbersome operation process and low efficiency.
