摘要

We report on a monitoring technique for nitrogen dioxide based on broadband absorption spectroscopy using a blue light-emitting diode (LED) operating around 465 mu. The technique is suited for real-time measurements of nitrogen dioxide clue to the use of a straightforward data evaluation method, limited interference From other gases, and a low degree of complexity compared with other real-time optical detection techniques having the same precision. Additionally, the use of a LED can reduce the cost. of nitrogen dioxide monitoring. Real-time measurements of nitrogen dioxide concentration were demonstrated Lit atmospheric pressure, which is of great interest for industrial nitrogen dioxide emission monitoring: a detection limit of about 3 ppm using a 50-cm-long gas cell with 2 s integration time was achieved.
