Description

Dynamic mixed gas full-component flow calibration system and calibration method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of gas detection, in particular to a dynamic mixed gas all-component flow calibration system and a calibration method.
Background
The gas analyzer is used as the most basic detection device, and has the main functions of judging the component types in the mixed gas, determining the content of specific components by various technical means (such as spectrum, chromatogram, mass spectrum, electrochemistry and the like), and generally giving the concentration of the specific components. In order to accurately and reliably detect the content of each component, a gas analyzer must be effectively calibrated to determine various physical parameters of the analyzer, such as detection sensitivity and the like. The premise of calibration is that a known and accurate gas component mixing calibration system is required, by means of which reasonable and effective gas distribution of gas components relevant to detection range and precision can be provided.
At present, the mixed gas calibration method suitable for the gas analysis instrument has the following difficulties:
(1) the dynamic range of a specific component is very wide
The gas components in the reaction process dynamically change in real time, and the dynamic change range of the component content is larger for a complex reaction system, so that the mixed gas with wide concentration or flow range can be accurately configured in the calibration process.
(2) The trace gas phase component is susceptible to the high content of the gas phase component
For complex reaction processes, the gas analyzer is simultaneously faced with various gas phase components at a certain time, and contains a large amount of complex trace mixed gas (ppm level) and high concentration (more than 10%) of conventional gas. In the detection process, the content of trace gas is often seriously interfered by gas-phase components with large concentration, so that the detection result is drifted.
(3) Objective limitation of range of calibration for gas corrosivity
NH may be present in a multi-component dynamic gas3、NOx、SOxThe corrosive gas difficult to detect, such as HF, and the like, is characterized by multiple types, but the content is extremely low, generally ppm level or even ppb level, and the gas has quite strong corrosivity.
(4) Easy adsorption, reduction and phase change gases can cause larger deviation
For multi-component mixed gas, under the conditions of different temperatures, pressures, component types and the like, phenomena such as adsorption, reduction, phase change and the like can be generated, and if the effects are not effectively eliminated in the calibration process, great deviation can be formed. E.g. H at ambient temperature2Is very easy to permeate andadsorbed on stainless steel pipeline, water vapor is easy to condense on the pipeline surface, CO and CH4And the carbon-containing reducing gas is easy to generate reactions such as carbon deposition and deterioration, and the gas is very easy to generate errors when the flow rate or the concentration is calibrated. As shown in fig. 1.
(5) The 'dead volume' problem when the diffusion of gas and the counter-current diffusion effect form calibration
The transport process of gases follows Fick's law, relying on concentration to drive the diffusion effect between different components. For the dynamic calibration process of gas components, the diffusion and the countercurrent diffusion among the components are relatively serious, if gas calibration equipment and pipeline arrangement are not good, a large amount of dead volume is generated, and unexpected interference is generated on the calibration of trace gas.
At present, in some prior arts, different multi-component gas measurement devices and methods are designed for solving the above difficulties, and although the multi-component gas measurement devices and methods play a certain role in mixed gas calibration, the multi-component gas measurement devices and methods are developed based on component concentrations of mixed gas, and the multi-component gas mixed calibration which dynamically changes in real time also has technical or principle defects.
For example:
(1) principle defects: for the calibration method after combined gas distribution, the concentration is usually adopted as the calibration parameter of the gas phase component, and the concentration is used as the relative quantity, so that only the mass flow can more effectively represent the dynamic change of the multi-component gas. As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the concentration of the gas 2 actually increases in flow rate while decreasing in the second stage, and the concentration actually decreases in flow rate while increasing in the third stage, but the results are completely opposite if the change in concentration of the gas 2 is used as a judgment of the magnitude and the trend of the change. Therefore, the existing gas calibration system takes the concentration of the gas as a calibration object, and cannot provide effective and reliable data support for accurately calibrating the analysis equipment.
(2) The technical defects of the gas mixing process are as follows: a common gas mixing system uses a flow meter as a mixing calibration tool, and the value of the flow meter is used as the final gas mixing result. The existing dynamic calibration method is to use a high-precision mass flowmeter, record the content of gas through the flowmeter, and calculate to obtain the content of actual mixed gas. The corrosive gas needs to be distributed with low concentration, so that the error of the trace gas is increased according to geometric multiples, and the result error is beyond a controllable range.
When the trace gas components are calibrated, a dead volume is easily formed in a transmission pipeline of a gas mixing system, the gas mixing system is also easily influenced by gas flow with high content and pressure fluctuation, diffusion and countercurrent diffusion effects are generated, great signal vibration and drift are often formed after gas mixing, and the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal vibration and the drift cannot be effectively ensured.
(3) Defects of the instrument equipment: at present, gas analyzers for post-calibration of mixed gases include electrochemical, infrared, ultraviolet, gas chromatography, mass spectrometry and other devices. Among them, the working principle of electrochemical, infrared, ultraviolet and gas chromatography instruments determines the concentration of different components as the detection parameter, and this problem explains the reason of limitation in the above principle defects.
Based on the above analysis, the existing calibration system has not yet achieved the requirements for real-time dynamically changing multi-component gas mixture calibration. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a dynamic mixed gas component flow calibration system.

The later self-cleaning maintenance is similar to the earlier self-cleaning preparation link, firstly, other flow controllers except the gas carrying pipeline are closed, temperature control heating is started, the temperature is generally set to be higher than 150 ℃, and after the set temperature is reached, a gas flow signal is monitored by a mass spectrum until the gas flow signal is stable; then closing the flow controller and the mass spectrum preposed electromagnetic valve on the gas carrying pipeline, and opening the preposed electromagnetic valve of the vacuum pump; then starting a vacuum pump, and vacuumizing the calibration system; if the degree of vacuum reaches 0.1Pa, the vacuum is maintained for 30 minutes and then stopped, and if the degree of vacuum cannot reach the degree of vacuum, the airtightness of the calibration system needs to be checked.
In the embodiment of the invention, the main function of the post-blowing link is to replace impure gas in the calibration system by carrier gas, wherein the carrier gas is high-purity inert gas (with the concentration of 99.999 percent), such as Ar and He, and the inside of the system is kept clean and dry. The post-purging operation is similar to pre-purging, the carrier gas pipeline is purged firstly, specific flow is kept, then the carrier gas is used for purging other pipelines of the calibration system one by one, the dynamic change of each gas circuit is monitored by using the mass spectrum in the purging process, the purging gas circuit is replaced after the signal is stable, the whole post-purging operation is finished, and the system is closed.
In the embodiment of the invention, by adopting the calibration method, the 'dead volume', diffusion and countercurrent diffusion effects can be effectively eliminated, the accurate calibration of the component content spanning 5-6 orders of magnitude is realized, and the working state of the calibration system is kept and maintained.
The technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to specific examples, but it should be noted that the following examples are only for illustrating the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
Example 1
(1) Reducing gas CH4Calibration example (2)
High-purity CH with the concentration of 99.999 percent is injected in the calibration process4With Ar gas, purging with Ar for 1 hr before calibration, and adopting fixed value for Ar flow during calibration, CH4The flow program is designed for multi-step flow as shown in fig. 8.
By analyzing the pattern shift in FIG. 6, it can be seen that Ar and CH4Although the Ar flow is fixed, the characteristic peak m/z is 40 and still has a large change, fig. 6 objectively illustrates that the mass spectrometry mechanism is a typical Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) nonlinear relationship, and a conventional calibration and analysis method based on linear assumption causes severe distortion of data.
By using an ECSA method, normalizing the spectrum with the characteristic peak m/z of Ar being 40 as a denominator to obtain a normalized mass spectrum, as shown in fig. 7, the normalized mass spectrum adaptively corrects the tilt trend and non-linear relationship in fig. 6, as shown in fig. 7, and simultaneously, Ar and CH are in parallel4The change of the characteristic peak and the change of the broken peak are completely consistent with the change of the respective flow, which also indicates that the data processing means of the ECSA conforms to the testing working principle of the mass spectrum.
The flow reliability was verified by further data processing and a perfect match between the two was seen, particularly in CH, with the programmed flow value pairs such as shown in FIG. 84In the process of flow switching, the response time of the test is very short, and the two are kept highly consistent.
Example 2
(2) Trace corrosive gas H2Calibration example of S
By using the method, various gas analyzers are calibrated by using the dynamic mixed gas all-component flow calibration system, and finally, a real and reliable calibration result can be obtained. In all gas analysis and detection processes, the accuracy of a calibration result is a key, if a problem occurs in a calibration link, the analysis result is seriously influenced, the actual flow or concentration of the escaping gas cannot be really obtained, the result is greatly wrong, and the calibration difficulty of corrosive trace gas is high.
Utilize onThe method is used for preparing trace H2S gas calibration to realize ultralow concentration H2The calibration of S gas, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, can be as low as 100ppb level with a volume flow rate close to 10-3ml/min, in order to ensure the test precision and higher signal-to-noise ratio (S/N is more than or equal to 10), 1ppm level is generally adopted as a reasonable measuring range for measurement.
It can be clearly seen from fig. 9 and 10 that when the trace gas is calibrated, the actual flow rate is in a fluctuation state, mainly due to the influence of various factors such as diffusion, countercurrent diffusion, adsorption, pneumatic vibration and the like, and the signal-to-noise ratio and the precision of the trace gas calibration signal can be effectively ensured.
Example 3
(3) Three kinds of gases Ar and N2With CO2Example of mixed calibration
The method can be used for calibrating the dynamic full component flow of various gases, and a real and reliable calibration result can be obtained. When multi-component gas is calibrated, due to the simultaneous dynamic change of gas flow, detection signals of the multi-component gas have great influence on each other, and if the concentration or flow of each component in the mixed gas is calibrated directly by means of the detection signals of the analysis equipment, serious mechanism errors are generated.
By the pair of Ar and N2With CO2Dynamic hybrid calibration of (1), wherein only N2The flow rate changes according to step flow rate in the temperature rise process, the mass spectrum of the flow rate changes as shown in 11 and 12, and CO is already mixed in figure 122And N2The overlap of Ar and CO is resolved, and although Ar and CO can be clearly seen in the three-dimensional mass spectrogram2The set flow rate of (2) is not changed, but the mass spectrum signal thereof also generates a mechanical accompanying change, and FIG. 13 shows Ar and CO more clearly2The trend of change of (c). Meanwhile, due to the changes of temperature and pressure, the signal in fig. 13 generally exhibits a characteristic of drifting downward with temperature, i.e., a temperature-dependent characteristic, and if the changes are not effectively analyzed, the accuracy and reliability of calibration are seriously affected.
The real gas flow can be directly analyzed by using the calibration system, and the real parameters of the calibration gas are given, rather than simply relying on the setting of a flow controller. The flow rate change in fig. 14 can actually reflect the response time of the flow rate change process.
The series of correction methods can be used for correcting the parameters of the mixed gas more accurately, eliminating the problems of secondary reaction, adsorption, condensation and the like of various gases in the mixing process and ensuring the precision of the multi-component dynamic mixed gas.
Comparative example 1
In order to verify the effects of diffusion and countercurrent diffusion, a dynamic mixed gas full-component flow calibration system is used for calibrating carrier gas, the carrier gas is high-purity Ar gas with the concentration of 99.999%, and a flow program is designed into multi-step flow, as shown by grey lines in FIG. 15; this calibration process does not employ a self-cleaning procedure.
As can be clearly seen from fig. 15, since no self-cleaning link is adopted, the characteristic peak-to-nucleus ratio m/z 40 in the three-dimensional mass spectrum of Ar is gradually increased along with the time, and is completely inconsistent with the multi-step flow rate. The main problem is that the system takes time to reduce the "dead volume" and gas diffusion effects.
Similarly, CH shown in FIGS. 6 and 74In the calibration, because a self-cleaning link is adopted, the flow of various gases in the diagram is basically consistent with the change turning point of mass spectrum data. This also indicates that the self-cleaning of the calibration system is very important during the mixed gas calibration process, and the self-cleaning process should be monitored by the actual high-precision gas analyzer to confirm the cleanliness of the interior with actual parameters, rather than relying on human guessing or defaults.
The above-mentioned embodiments are intended to illustrate the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention in further detail, and it should be understood that the above-mentioned embodiments are only exemplary embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention, and any modifications, equivalents, improvements and the like made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
