Description

Gas detection method based on chalcogenide glass suspension core optical fiber
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of gas sensing, in particular to a gas detection method based on chalcogenide glass suspension core optical fibers.
Background
Energy is an important material basis for human survival and development, and is related to national civilization and national safety. In the process of exploiting and utilizing energy, safe production becomes an important subject in economic development. In recent years, the nation gives great attention to safety production, the total number of accidents in safety production is in a descending trend, but serious accidents are frequent and serious in harm.
In the coal field of China, gas and natural ignition are two main disasters in coal mine safety production. Aiming at gas disasters, a gas monitoring system is a main means for monitoring and early warning. The main problems of the current coal mine monitoring system are that the used catalytic combustion type sensor has the problems of poor reliability, frequent calibration, short service life, small measuring range and the like. The prediction and early warning of the natural fire of the coal mine mainly adopts a gas index analysis and prediction method. The traditional trace gas detection equipment for natural ignition is mainly a chromatographic analysis system, has the problems of complex equipment, complex operation, low analysis speed, incapability of realizing on-line monitoring and the like, and limits the application range of the equipment. With the technical progress, the improved beam tube system adopts an infrared analyzer to replace a part of spectrum analyzers, so that the detection speed is accelerated, but the defects are that the types of the measured gas are few, and the trace gas detection of olefins with large cross interference cannot be realized. Therefore, the defects of the existing detection technology limit the development of the coal mine gas monitoring technology and the fire prediction technology.
In the middle and far infrared, a large number of molecular fingerprint areas exist, and the molecular fingerprint areas comprise strong absorption areas of gases such as methane with relatively high content in gas. For example, according to the mid-infrared light transmission spectrum of the gas, the wavelength of 3.3 to 3.6 μm corresponds to a strong absorption region of methane gas in the mid-infrared, wherein the absorption intensity at the wavelength of 3.31 μm is 1300 times of the absorption intensity at 1.33 μm and 160 times of the absorption intensity at 1.66 μm. At present, the optical fiber gas sensor is mainly designed by adopting a quartz optical fiber for the spectral absorption of gas substances in a near infrared region (the wavelength is less than 2 μm), the detection wavelength range is limited, and cross response among gases is possibly introduced, so that the application of the optical fiber gas sensor in detection is limited.

The gas chamber 7 can be sealed by the rubber sealing ring and the rubber sealing plug 73, a sealed gas environment is created for standard gas with known concentration in the detection environment, and the standard transmission spectrum is not easily interfered by the outside, so that the establishment of the standard transmission spectrum is facilitated.

It should be noted that the gas chamber 7 is closed only after the standard mixed gas is introduced into the gas chamber 7 during the process of establishing the standard transmission spectrum of different gases with different concentrations. In the actual detection process (i.e. in step (6)), the gas chamber 7 is not required to be closed, but the chalcogenide glass suspension core optical fiber is directly exposed to the detection environment, so that the gas to be detected directly enters the gas chamber and permeates into the chalcogenide glass suspension core optical fiber through air holes on the chalcogenide glass suspension core optical fiber, the gas to be detected can absorb light transmitted in the chalcogenide glass suspension core optical fiber with a specific wavelength, the light output by the output end of the chalcogenide glass suspension core optical fiber is detected by a detector, a detection signal is amplified and returns to an FTIR spectrometer, LabVIEW software on a computer records a light transmission spectrum, and the type and the concentration of the gas to be detected are obtained by comparing the light transmission spectrum with pre-established standard transmission spectra of gases with different concentrations.
In example 2, the process of establishing the standard transmission spectrum from step (3) to step (5) is exemplified by methane, for example: gas with methane volume concentration of 1.5% is introduced into the gas chamber 7 through the gas inlet A, the gas inlet A is sealed with the rubber sealing plug 73, the time is 10 minutes, and the light transmission spectrum at the methane concentration is recorded by LabVIEW software on the computer 83. The above operations are repeated, and the light transmission spectra under other different methane concentrations (the methane volume concentrations in the gas are respectively 6%, 10% and 14%) are respectively detected and recorded. The standard transmission spectra at different methane concentrations are shown in fig. 5 and fig. 6, wherein fig. 5 is a transmission curve of methane at different concentrations, and fig. 6 is a graph of transmission rate and methane concentration. In fig. 6, the volume concentrations of methane corresponding to five curves from top to bottom are 0, 1.5%, 6%, 10%, and 14%, respectively.
