Raman Analysis of Gas for the nuclear sector using Micro stuctured fibres (RagnusMOF)

能源部门，特别是核工业内气体物种的检测、监测和控制对安全、环境控制和节约效率至关重要。危险材料和系统要求定期对气体进行采样、识别和量化，以使工厂过程安全有效地继续进行。通常，测量必须实时进行，并在具有挑战性的环境中进行，检测极限在百万分之以下。该项目寻求开发一种新的破坏性仪器，基于拉曼分析，但灵敏度显著提高。这将使该仪器受益于拉曼测量提供的固有灵活性，同时显著提高灵敏度，使其与现有的红外吸收或气相色谱(GC)等技术竞争。

The detection, monitoring and control of gaseous species within the energy sector and specifically the nuclear industry is critical for safety, environmental control and efficiency savings. Hazardous materials and systems require gases to be sampled, identified and quantified regularly to allow plant process to continue safely and efficiently. Often the measurements must be made in real time and taken in challenging environments with limits of detection in the sub ppm levels. This project seeks to develop a new disruptive instrument, based on Raman analysis but with significantly improved sensitivity. This will allow the instrument to benefit from the inherent flexibility offered by Raman measurement, while dramatically improving the sensitivity such that its competitive with existing techniques such as IR absorption or Gas Chromatographs (GC).
