Description

Photoacoustic cell, system and method for aerosol acidity detection
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of detection, in particular to a photoacoustic cell, a photoacoustic cell system and a photoacoustic cell method for aerosol acidity detection.
Background
The pH of a solution is one of its most basic chemical properties, affecting the chemical reaction pathways and kinetics in various fields, and the atmosphere is no exception. The pH of the atmospheric coacervate drives a critical chemical reaction that ultimately affects the global climate in a number of ways. The condensed phase consists mainly of suspended liquid or solid particles, called atmospheric aerosols, unlike cloud droplets due to their much smaller size (mainly <10 μm). The pH (acidity) of the atmospheric aerosol can enhance certain chemical reactions, leading to the formation of additional condensed phase mass of low volatile species, changing the optical and water absorption properties of the particles, and dissolving metal ions, creating a threat to human health after inhalation. However, while the acidity of aerosols is important for climate and human health, the basic knowledge of their acidity has been limited due to the size of aerosols (more than 99% by number of particles are less than 1 μm) and the complexity of their internal composition.
In one atmosphere particle, there may be hundreds to thousands of different chemical species, different water content, high ionic strength and different phases (liquid, semi-solid and solid), making aerosol analysis more challenging, atmosphere particles evolve through heterogeneous chemical reactions with gases and heterogeneous chemical reactions within the condensed phase.
The traditional measurement method of aerosol acidity comprises the following steps: 1. the particle sample is collected and extracted by a filter, analyzed under vacuum, or dried during or after collection and then dissolved in water to analyze its composition, which has a disadvantage in that the inside of aerosol H is in the course of the treatment + The activity is not conservation, and the change of the water content in the particles influences the activity, so that the accuracy of the acidity of the aerosol is influenced; 2. the volume concentration of aerosol particles in combination with the gas concentration is used to predict the water content, and thus the acidity is deduced from some thermodynamic equilibrium conditions. However, the model cannot be accurately calculated in consideration of complex chemical environment inside the particles.

In the following description, reference is made to "some embodiments" which describe a subset of all possible embodiments, but it is to be understood that "some embodiments" can be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments and can be combined with one another without conflict.
In the following description, the terms "first", "second", "third" and the like are merely used to distinguish similar objects and do not represent a particular ordering of the objects, it being understood that the "first", "second", "third" may be interchanged with a particular order or sequence, as permitted, to enable embodiments of the invention described herein to be practiced otherwise than as illustrated or described herein.

The terminology used in the embodiments of the invention is for the purpose of describing embodiments of the invention only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
Before describing embodiments of the present invention in further detail, the terms and terminology involved in the embodiments of the present invention will be described, and the terms and terminology involved in the embodiments of the present invention will be used in the following explanation.
The photoacoustic spectroscopy technology can realize detection of trace gas, can monitor and analyze solid and liquid, and a lot of scientific researches are focused on researching environmental problems such as greenhouse effect, acid rain, ozone layer damage and the like, and can be used for measuring pollution caused by biological fermentation and automobile exhaust emission and related problems such as nitrogen detection of soil nitride, plant physiology and biological systems, non-destructive breath analysis in microbiology and medicine, oil gas leakage and the like.
Photoacoustic spectrometry is a laser spectrum detection technique based on the photoacoustic effect. The principle is as follows: after the substance to be measured absorbs laser energy, the substance molecules transit from a ground state to an excited state, but due to the instability of the excited state of a high energy level, the substance molecules return to the ground state again through collision relaxation, and meanwhile, the absorbed light energy is converted into the translational energy of the molecules according to the energy conservation law, so that a pressure wave is formed in the photoacoustic cell. When the laser is modulated at a certain frequency, the local temperature is periodically increased and decreased, so that an acoustic wave signal consistent with the laser modulation frequency is generated. The intensity of the pressure wave is detected by using a piezoelectric ceramic sensor, and the quantity of molecules excited by the absorbed light in the photoacoustic cell is determined according to the proportional relation between the amplitude of the photoacoustic signal and the intensity, concentration and content of the incident light. The photoacoustic spectrum sensing process can be described as a process in which a substance absorbs light energy to generate periodic thermal expansion, thereby causing weak sound pressure waves (ultrasonic waves), and a sensor is used to detect fluctuation of the sound pressure waves to determine the concentration of gas.
The embodiment of the invention provides a photoacoustic cell for aerosol acidity detection, which comprises a shell, an optical window, an air inlet pipeline, an air outlet pipeline, a photoacoustic resonant cavity penetrating the shell and a piezoelectric ceramic sensor in the shell, wherein the optical window is respectively arranged at two ends of the boundary between the photoacoustic resonant cavity and the shell, the air inlet pipeline and the air outlet pipeline are respectively connected with two ends of the photoacoustic resonant cavity through the shell, and the piezoelectric ceramic sensor is arranged in the cross section direction of the photoacoustic resonant cavity; aerosol enters the photoacoustic resonant cavity from the air inlet pipeline and is guided out from the air outlet pipeline; the piezoelectric ceramic sensor is used for detecting the photoacoustic signal of the aerosol in the photoacoustic resonant cavity.
Since the absorption of laser energy by aerosol with different acidity is also different, the stronger the acidity is, the stronger the absorption is, and the generated photoacoustic signal is also stronger, so that the aerosol acidity can be detected by measuring the photoacoustic signal. Meanwhile, the photoacoustic cell and the photoacoustic spectrum sensor adopt piezoelectric ceramic sensors as pressure sensing devices, so that the influence of noise can be reduced, and an effective signal is amplified by using an amplifier and a filter, so that the aerosol acidity detection effect with high precision and high signal-to-noise ratio is realized.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, fig. 1 shows a side view of a photo acoustic cell for aerosol acidity detection, fig. 2 shows a perspective view of a photo acoustic cell for aerosol acidity detection, the photo acoustic cell comprising a housing 1, an optical window 3, an air inlet pipe 7, an air outlet pipe 8, a photo acoustic resonant cavity 10 penetrating the housing 1 and a piezo ceramic sensor 2 inside the housing 1, aerosol entering the photo acoustic resonant cavity 10 from the air inlet pipe 7 and being guided out from the air outlet pipe 8, the piezo ceramic sensor 2 being used for detecting photo acoustic signals of aerosol inside the photo acoustic resonant cavity. The laser light enters the photoacoustic cavity through an optical window.

The length of the photoacoustic resonant cavity can meet different application environments, the influence of noise is reduced, and the signal-to-noise ratio is improved. Of course, a fixed resonant cavity can also be used as a non-resonant photoacoustic cell, and noise reduction and amplification treatment by a filtering device are needed at this time.
