FT-IR Diagnostics for Environment Monitoring of Effluent Gases

这一奖项是为了支持开发烟气监测系统的研究，该系统用于确定燃烧过程排放的气体中潜在的空气污染物。该系统基于傅里叶变换红外光谱仪在在线诊断仪器中监测氮、硫和氯的原理，该仪器可用于确定流出气体的质量。燃烧化石燃料和燃烧固体废物产生的废气会产生副产品气体，污染排放到其中的空气。该项目的结果预计将确定生产一种仪器的可行性，该仪器可用于监测燃烧过程废气中的氮氧化物和硫氧化物以及氯化氢等空气有毒物质。导致该奖项的提案是针对NSF 92-30，小型企业创新研究，主题25D，环境系统提交的。

This is an award to support research on development of a flue gas monitoring system for determination of the potential air contaminants in emissions of gases from combustion processes. The system is based on the application of principles derived from use of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy in monitoring nitrogen, sulfur and chlorine in an on-line, diagnostic instrument that can be used for determination of the quality of effluent gas streams. Exhaust gases from combustion of fossil fuels and from combustion of solid wastes results in the production of byproduct gases that pollute air into which they are discharged. Results of this project are expected to determine the feasibility of producing an instrument that could be used to monitor nitrogen and sulfur oxides and air toxics such as hydrogen chloride in exhaust gases from combustion processes. The proposal leading to this award was submitted in response to NSF 92-30, Small Business Innovation Research under Topic No. 25d, Environmental Systems.
