HJ 919-2017 Determination of volatile organic compounds in ambient air Portable Fourier transform infrared method
In recent years, with the dynamic collimation of Fourier transform infrared spectrometers, the application of high sensitivity, high signal-to-noise ratio detectors, multi-channel gas pools and other technologies, as well as the adoption of better spectral preprocessing methods and quantitative models, it has gradually become the mainstream in the field of gas analysis. 9100FIR is a portable Fourier transform infrared multi-component gas analyzer independently developed by Le Shi Technology. 9100FIR adopts full spectrum analysis technology, and one analyzer can test all substances with absorption in the infrared spectrum range. Therefore, 9100FIR can theoretically test thousands of gas types.
The instrument has a sturdy structure, strong mobility and seismic resistance, and is suitable for continuous monitoring tasks in complex and harsh working conditions. The instrument adopts the most advanced and mature technology for in situ sampling and analysis internationally, which can perform qualitative and quantitative analysis of organic and inorganic gases at high temperature, in situ, non-destructive, fast, and simultaneously. Unlike electrochemical instruments and ordinary infrared instruments, 9100FIR adopts advanced mathematical modeling algorithms to accurately measure each gas component to be measured, avoiding significant measurement errors caused by gas cross interference. 9100FIR is currently one of the analytical products on the market with high cost-effectiveness and flexibility.
★ High degree of systematization: The host is equipped with a high-temperature pre-treatment unit for samples, which has a high degree of systematization and more thorough filtration of particulate matter and dust;
★ High performance detector at room temperature: using a high-performance DTGS detector at room temperature, it can be used without refrigeration and has the characteristics of wide infrared activity range, wide linear range, and long service life;
★ Special reverse blowing port: The instrument has a nitrogen reverse blowing interface, which can achieve reverse blowing of the gas chamber and keep it clean and uncontaminated. A dedicated internal light path nitrogen blowing interface can blow optical components to improve cleaning ability, ensuring that the instrument has sufficient light flux and sensitivity.
★ Instrument status visualization: The LED lights on the front panel of the host can indicate the current status of the instrument, making it easy for users to determine whether the instrument is running normally or not;
★ Post sampling system: The post sampling system is conducive to VOCs analysis, and the sample gas is directly sent to the gas chamber for analysis through the heat tracing pipeline, reducing the risk of secondary pollution of the sample gas and the process loss after condensation;
★ Built in multi range: The instrument has multiple built-in ranges, and the intelligent analysis system of the instrument can automatically switch ranges for measurement based on the concentration of the sample gas;
Usually, portable FTIR instruments are limited by low resolution, but the 9100FIR FTIR resolution can reach 0.7cm-1 (※ uncut toe). With a portable FTIR analyzer, on-site investigations and monitoring of chimney or process exhaust vents can be carried out. 9100FIR can measure low concentration complex mixed gases at high resolution. However, the real advantage of 9100FIR lies in its variable resolution. If measurements need to be taken at a resolution of 4cm-1 or 8cm-1, they can be set through software without changing the hardware. The scanning speed can be adjusted according to the resolution, which is flexible and applicable to various working conditions to obtain the best analysis results.
A user-friendly software operating platform allows beginners and users with Fourier experience to obtain more information from 9100 FIR analysis, and provides fully automated operations:

The ability of 9100FIR to simultaneously analyze the number of VOCs depends on the software and hardware. The advanced spectral analysis method and high resolution (1cm-1 or 0.5cm-1) of the built-in software enable 9100FIR to provide a perfect VOC component analysis solution.
The 9100FIR analyzer can establish a separate analysis model based on functional groups, allowing us to select the most suitable spectral regions for analyzing these species. Provide more accurate predictions when new or unknown species contain certain types of gases. The figure on the right summarizes how to group and simplify the analysis of bands in the infrared spectrum used.
9100FIR can display real-time monitoring data of VOC components. There is no limit to the number of VOCs that can be measured simultaneously.
VOC measurement is usually analyzed using the FID method. But F ID is usually used for the analysis of TVOC, and substances containing C-O bonds have poor response on FID detectors. To test the various components of VOCs using FID principle, it is necessary to use GC in conjunction.
GCThe long analysis cycle and cumbersome setup and calibration make GC-FID less suitable for online analysis and emission monitoring. The 9100 FIR based on FTIR principle can quickly and accurately identify and analyze hundreds of volatile organic compounds. The analysis data of 25 volatile organic compounds in engine exhaust are shown in the left table.
