end. Optical Properties of Ozone (OPTICAL PROPERT IES)

Ozone's optical properties play an important role in industrial applications and in natural phenomena.

Ozone has to be treated as the most essential characteristic of the limitation of space.

The refractive index K of gaseous ozone at vacuum of 273 K in absolute temperature is n = 1.0533, 1.020 and 1.0502 at wavelengths of 480,546 and 671 nm, respectively, and n = 1.2236 at wavelengths of 535,589 (line D) and 670.5 nm in liquid state, respectively. , 1.2226 and 1.2213.

Ozone in the gas (GAS) state absorbs light such as infrared and ultraviolet radiation. Band absorption starts at a wavelength of 14.2µm and remains up to 220nm.

Absorption is particularly strong in the ultraviolet region and peaked near 260 nm as stated, which is close to 200 nm. However, absorption increases slightly until it reaches the detection limit of 120 nm (see Table 1-1 below).

Table 1-1 (absorption coefficients between ozone 100-220 nm)

The total amount of ozone contained in the ozone layer in the global atmosphere is about 3 mm thick under standard temperature and pressure conditions. This layer absorbs all of the ultraviolet radiation emitted by the sun, especially in the width of 200 nm-290 nm, and also absorbs the infrared radiation of the Earth's surface in the wavelength range of 9-10 µm. This has a major effect on the absorption of ultraviolet radiation at higher temperatures above 40-60 km above the Earth's surface in the equator.

Absorption in the infrared region can be obtained by Lambert-Beer law.

I = I ₀ e ^-kcl

For air ozone, the coefficients K are 3.0, 3.0 and 0.2 at wavelengths of 4.75, 9.65 and 14.1 μm, respectively, where the index C represents the number of molecules to absorb and l represents the path length per cm. The absorption coefficient depends mainly on the pressure, especially at wavelengths near 9.6 µm (see diagram below).

Table 1-2 (Absorption Coefficients of Multiple Wavelength Ozone)

Absorption spectra are typically divided into three sections. It is divided into a Hartley band at a wavelength of 200-300 nm, a Huggins band at a wavelength of 300-350 nm, and a Chappuis band at a wavelength of 400-750 nm. 1-2)

Table (1) contains the measurement results of the absorption coefficients for the three sectors. The absorption coefficient for the numerical values shown in the table is calculated by applying the following formula.

I = I ₀ e ^-kℓ

The visual spectrum of ozone shows an absorption band at 600 nm, which is blue for all three band states above, and purple-blue shades for crystalline states of sunset and dawn.

The maximum absorption of the three sectors in the ultraviolet region is at wavelengths of 255.3, 313.5 and 343.9.

I. Measurement of ozone by direct photometer

(DRIECT PHOTOMETR IC DETERM INAT ION OF OZONE)

Iodine (I ₂₎ titration assay and direct photometric measurement is an important method in the analysis of ozone, iodine titration assay is easy way to eliminate the absolute calibration (Calibration).

Direct photometer measurement is the only measurement method based on ozone molecules in which ozone remains intact. That is, no chemicals or reactions are used in the determination of ozone.

Recently, so-called absolute photometry has been recognized as an independent process for measuring ozone as well as methods for analyzing standard ozone sources.

Prior to the introduction of this measurement method, the absorption coefficient of ozone must be determined accurately.

The measurements carried out by Demore for this purpose hint at the possibility that the pressure is independent of the absorption coefficient within the range of p.p.m.

The principle of measurement is based on the absorption band of ozone in the ultraviolet region.

Appropriate wavelengths are obtained by installing, as a light source, partial optical filters, monochromarors, and radiated light emitted from the finished spectrophotometer.

The measurement is performed by most instruments near the ozone maximum absorption at 255.3 nm.

If this is in a good environment, the exact match of the spectral line of mercury at 253.7 nm gives an even stronger absorption band.

The absorption coefficient is directly proportional to the ozone concentration of the gas, so Beer's law applies.

The Beer-Lambert law can be applied to the reduction effect in the accent of light.

log I ₀ / I _c = kcℓ

I ₀ is the contrast of the original light, C is the concentration of ozone in the gas, l is the path length of the light turning gas (Gas), and K is the absorption coefficient.

If the passage length is constant, absorption is directly proportional to the ozone concentration.

log I ₀ / I _c

If we consider the carrier, algebraic relations apply.

I ₀ / I _c

The instruments described above were developed to measure ozone concentrations in the range of 0.5-20%.

For example, ozonated oxygen flows down the ozone generator before reaction. Thus, the value of C is relatively large, and the passage length l must be small to achieve the optimum absorption range.

It should be appreciated that a gas-shaped light absorptive meter is preferred to use the indicated d by calculating pure ozone at standard conditions or by making kc 1 indicating the thickness of the ozone layer reduced in cm. For that reason α is given in cm ^-1 in the case of absorption Spectra.

In devices developed by Alway And Slomp, current deviations generated by the measurement and associated phototubes are amplified and transmitted to two-phase servomotors to compensate for this deviation. The resistor in the circuit of the associated phototube is slid in the direction to decrease.

The circulation of the motor can be recognized directly as the instrument's dial by ozone concentration or percent, depending on the measurement method used. To facilitate amplification, the output current of the phototube has the nature of alternating current, which is obtained by feeding the photovoltaic tube as a voltage on both sides and installing a circulating sector in the direction of light.

The setting of the zero point is effected by a sample depleted of ozone (100% transfer).

The great advantage of this optical measurement method is that the judgment procedure does not interfere with the process.

One particular area of direct photometric judgment is the measurement of atmospheric ozone.

Other methods used here face low concentrations and therefore require longer optical path lengths by multiple arrangements of magnitude.

Long-Path Spectrophotometers at the Earth's surface are used to measure the absorption of general light in the ultraviolet range under two selective wavelengths.

Lenzetti's instrument made this measurement possible, for example 265 and 313 nm, and considered the minimum ozone concentration at night as the end point. The ozone concentration (2p.p.h.m in Los Angeles's atmosphere) can be calculated from the data obtained from

In the formula, C represents the actual ozone concentration in pphm. C ₀ represents the minimum ozone concentration at night. I ₀ ¹ and I ₀ ² represent the intensity of light reaching the detector at the minimum concentration of ² p.phm at wavelengths of 265 and 313 nm. I1 and I2 represent the intensity of light reaching the detector during measurement at wavelengths of 256 and 313 nm. S represents the optical path length in km. α ₁ denotes the absorption coefficient at 265nm, 0.123km ^-1, pphm ^-1. α ₂ denotes the absorption coefficient at 313nm, 0.00087km ^-1, pphm ^-1.

In another setup, the difference between the incident light and the decayed radiation across the path length of approximately 100 m in atmospheric air is measured at 265, 280 and 313 nm, respectively.

Razumovskii has developed a laboratory spectrophotometer with an elongated type cuvette.

The instrument has an optical path length of 100 mm and a sensitivity of 10 ^-6 mol dm ^-3 .

Other systems have a sensitivity of 2x10 ^-7 mol dm ^-3 .

In another photometer, an air sample passes through one of the cells and an associated gas passes through the rest of the compartment. In this case, the reference gas may be obtained after removing ozone from a gas sample through catalytic decomposition.

The concentration of ozone can be calculated by the difference in the intensity of the emitted light at 253.7 nm passing through two cells. Concentrations can be measured by this method in the range of 0 to 100 pphm (0 to 2 mg m ^-3 ).

Solar radiation is used as a source of light to measure atmospheric ozone concentrations and to investigate the vertical distribution of ozone concentrations, and absorption is measured at selected wavelengths through a predetermined path length within known methods. .

In recent years, measurements have been made by automatic photometers equipped with narrow-band filters on satellites or exploration rockets that send signals to ground stations.

Krueger has published an investigation report that includes measuring the intensity of solar radiation at four selected wavelengths between 270nm and 330nm during vertical fall from a vertex by mounting a photometer on a parachute descending probe. The measurement results are used to calculate ozone concentrations at different heights.

The absorption spectral properties of ozone produced clear detection results of the Earth's atmosphere by spectroscopic investigation of the radiation emitted from the sun and stars.

U.V photometers can also be used to measure ozone in the atmosphere by absorbing light within the infrared range.

All. Calibration of Ozone and Other Methods of Measuring Ozone Concentration

(Calibration and areas in which different analytical method are used)

We have seen several methods used to determine ozone concentrations, but with the exception of a few methods, calibration is required or a calibration gas (O ₃ standard gas) that can reproduce standards that contain ozone in particular.

This is especially true for commercial equipment, and widely used equipment includes a standard ozone source.

These continuous sources of ozone are in photochemical ozone generators that operate from a variety of ultraviolet light sources and the instrument's operating parameters are precisely controlled.

Naturally, these devices are considered to be one of the absolute methods, such as lodometry or absolute photometry.

Recently, the problem of standardization of ozone has emerged in the field of measurement of air ozone.

The selection of appropriate analytical methods and instruments depends on the specific case requirements and the concentration range to be measured. The measurement ranges of the main methods are listed in Table 1-3. Direct photometers and lodometry are commonly used, but lodometry is only considered one of the measurement methods. In addition, the thermal method is an easy method to measure the concentration of ozone in the gas range in% range. But it is limited to oxygen and air.

For the measurement of atmospheric ozone concentrations, instruments are widely used chemiluminescence, and electro-measuring methods are on the decline.

For aqueous media, various color reaction methods besides redox reaction, direct electrometry and photometry will be used.

Table 1-3 Typical measuring ranges associated with the individual groups of analytical methods. Measurement principle of ozone

The ozone concentration measurement method includes chemiluminescence, potassium iodide, and ultraviolet absorption. However, in the present invention, a device was developed using an ultraviolet absorption method that is easy to measure automatically and has high accuracy. The ultraviolet absorption method can measure the concentration of a gas having a characteristic of being absorbed in the ultraviolet region by detecting absorbed energy in its own ultraviolet spectrum, and usually 254 nm of mercury or the like is used as a light source. The zero gas containing ozone and the sample gas containing ozone are alternately passed in the cell through which the gas to be measured passes, and the intensity of light passing through this is measured by a sensor with a UV filter. According to Law, the concentration of ozone can be measured. This law is expressed as

That is, it is defined as the ratio between the amount of ultraviolet rays detected by zero gas and the amount of ultraviolet rays absorbed by the sample gas, and it is defined at standard temperature and air pressure of 273.15。k, 1 atm, and must be converted according to the actual measurement environment and the desired unit. Substituting factor K

c = KC, C = Substituting in the above equation Are organized by

The equation for concentration c is as follows.

k can be composed of two terms: the concentration conversion term K _STP and the correction term CF _TP for temperature and pressure under standard conditions. In other words, K = (K _STP ) (CF _TP ) where K _STP is a constant that converts the measurement to the unit you want, in ppm by volume, ppm by weight, and percent. , g / m ^3, etc., and have different values. For example, it has a value of 1000000 for ppm by volume and 2141.4 for g / m ³ .

The temperature and pressure conversion term CF _TP can be expressed as

Therefore, the concentration conversion term and temperature pressure conversion term

You can see that the expression is completed. Finally, the equation for calculating the gas concentration using the ratio of zero gas and sample gas detected by the UV sensor can be derived as follows.

hemp. Ozone Meter System

1) Configuration of the device

The most effective method for continuously measuring ozone concentration is a light source, a photometer, and a quartz procell. The ozone concentration can be measured by configuring a measurement system. The structure of the apparatus is generally shown in FIG. 1, and a low pressure mercury lamp is used as a light source, and a photomul is used as a photometer.

When using low concentrations of ozone, double-beam spectrophotometers are ideal in terms of measurement accuracy and stability whenever possible.

2) Measurement procedure

By supplying the sample gas continuously to the quartz procells, a potential signal proportional to the ozone concentration can be obtained.

3) Precautions

(1) Since a limit is placed on the ozone concentration measurable by the spectrophotometer, it corresponds to the optical path length (the length of the quartz cell). A typical spectrophotometer has a maximum absorbance of 2 (Log [Io / i]) and a luminous intensity of about 0.001. Therefore, the relationship between ozone concentration and calorific cell length that can be measured at 253.7 nm is shown in Table 3-1. However, when the high-pressure mercury lamp is used as a light source, the measurement is performed by using light having a plurality of wavelengths, which is slightly different from the table.

In addition, one method is to use the cell of the multiple light path of FIG. 2 for low concentration ozone measurement.

(2) If the amount of light emitted from the light source is too strong, the decomposition of ozone by light cannot be ignored and measurement error occurs.

(3) When measuring the gaseous ozone concentration, if the sample gas temperature or pressure is different, the density (= ozone concentration) of the gas will fluctuate and give an error.

(4) In the measurement of liquid ozone concentration, in many cases, accurate absorbance cannot be obtained due to light absorption by soluble organics or light scattering by suspensions. As a countermeasure, the dissolved ozone may be aerated and transferred to the air, or the dissolved ozone may be completely decomposed into a catalyst and corrected by passing the sample water through the reference cell.

Ozone Concentration and Cell Length

Cell length (cm) Application concentration range (ppm) 0.1 1,500-150,000 1.0 150-15,000 10.0 15 to 1,500 100.0 1.5 to 150

4) UV light source and detector

The cell length of the ozone concentration meter developed through this permanent is 1) 1,000 2) 10,000 3) 20,000 4) 60,000 5) 60,000 ppm or more, and the cell length is 50mm according to Table 3-1 according to the measured ozone concentration. 5 types of sample pass lengths were included, including the standard type, and the low-pressure mercury lamp with the wavelength of 253.65 nm and the UV filter with 254 nm were suppressed and the quartz window was finally installed on the surface in contact with the sample gas. It was.

In order to stabilize the output of low pressure mercury lamp, the circuit was designed to maintain 55 ℃ by installing semiconductor temperature sensor and heater in UV lamp housing.

A photomultiplier tube R1228 was installed at the end facing the UV lamp, and the built-in filter and characteristic line had a maximum sensitivity around 254nm.

Since the concentration value of the sample is affected by the temperature, a semiconductor sensor is installed in the sample exhaust of the fin for temperature measurement. 3 shows the response characteristics of the detection sensor.

5) Shortest amplification circuit

The output of the R1228, a UV sensor, needs to be amplified to a sufficient size because a current is output in proportion to the intensity of light with a DC bias applied and has a very weak output. In addition, in order to amplify the weak signal by increasing the S / N, the selection of the ultra short amplification element is very important. In this development, the OPA128 OP Amp, which is an electrometer of BURR-BROWN, is used. An amplifier circuit was constructed.

The force impedance was set to 500k to match the sensor and the gain was adjusted to a maximum output of 4V. In order to cut off the noise from the peripheral circuit, a shield was installed and a connector for output signal and power supply was installed. The output of the first stage amplifier is connected to the input of the multiplex for A / D conversion. The circuit is shown in FIG.

6) Analog to Digital Conversion

The detection signal amplified to the sufficient size by the ultra short amplifier must be A / D converted for digital processing. In this development, ICL7109 converter which has excellent noise characteristics and low speed conversion is used due to the characteristics of this device.

The converter is a signed 12-bit converter with Dual Slop Intergration, which can be connected to an 8-bit bus and has very stable conversion capability.

The conversion speed is about 30ms, and the processor extracts data into two bytes of MSB and LSB at the end of conversion by monitoring the status pin indicating the conversion termination status through the processor.

This conversion circuit is designed to receive and convert each input signal sequentially by the processor signal in order to receive the detection signal, the temperature conversion signal, and the pressure value of the ultra-short amplifier. It became. The circuit designed in FIG. 5 is shown.

7) Processors and Digital Circuits

The 1Chip processor used in the development of the instrument is Intel's 8051, a versatile and affordable processor. It uses external expansion memory, has 32k ROM and 8k RAM, and connects 8255 to expand peripheral I / O. The clock is driven at 11.0592MHZ and uses the Max1232 Reset device to detect its own PSEN line and automatically return on processor down.

This processor has 256 bytes of internal memory, so it can be executed efficiently at high speed. It also has the function to control each I / O terminal individually, so it is easy to control peripheral devices. There is a Decorator to control each I / O, RAM 0000: Address, 8255 is 2000: Address, LCD is 4000: Address, A / D is 6000: Address, D / A is 8000: Assigned to a street address.

LCD is used to display the results of various programs and has a display area of 40 × 2 Line. The display state indicates the measured concentration after the initialization state, and the unit representation allows the display of ppm and g / m ³ to be switched.

In order to switch between input of zero gas and input of sample gas, it generates control signal of solenoid valve and uses internal timer function to get constant period.

A function to calibrate with span gas is included, and the measured value is calculated and processed later. There is also a calibration function for zero gas values.

4-20mA current output is designed as a function to output the detected ozone concentration value to an external device. Data processed by the processor is displayed on the LCD and input into the digital-to-analog converter in 8 bits. The converted analog signal is waveform-formed through the LPF, and is input to a current drive circuit composed of an OP amplifier to output a current value. 6 shows a processor circuit.

8) Power Circuit and Temperature Control

The instrument is designed for ± 5V / 1A power supply for driving digital circuits, ± 15V / 1A power supply for analog circuits, and 12V / 5A power supply for driving solenoids, pumps, and temperature controlled heaters. A filter is installed to remove various noises and a fan is installed to prevent temperature rise inside the meter.

In order to maintain the housing temperature of UV lamp at 55 ℃, by using the device having a reference voltage of 200mV inside, the integral circuit is constructed while comparing with the output of LM34 temperature device. Very stable temperature control is maintained.

Therefore, the present invention can solve the processing technology which is dependent on the import until now, and it is possible to supply the measuring instrument which can measure the concentration of ozone generated in the high concentration ozone generator in the field in real time, and localize these devices, It can be applied to landfill leachate treatment, dyeing wastewater treatment, plating wastewater treatment, pollutant treatment flowing into freshwater lake, and it can reduce the operating cost of the company caused by excessive operation of ozone generator by supplying the optimum amount of ozone at the right place. There is an advantage that can benefit the development of a competitive and competitive measuring equipment.
