Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the capacity of an absorption cell and to shorten an analysis time by adjusting the number of times of reciprocation transmitted light passing through the absorption cell according to the concentration of a target component by reflecting mirrors. CONSTITUTION:An infrared ray emitted by a light source 1 is guided by a spectrograph to the absorption cell 3. The transmitted light passing through the absorption cell 3 is reflected by the reflecting mirror 5-1, passed through the absorption cell 3 again, and further passed through the absorption cell 3 by a reflecting mirror 5-2. Similarly, the transmitted light is reflected by reflecting mirrors 5-3-5-8 to reach a detector 4. When the transmissivity at the detector 4 is larger than an optimum range (0.2-0.7), the light is made to by-pass the reflecting mirror 5-7 and is guided to the detector by a reflecting mirror 6-4. Further, when the concentration is high, the light is guided to the detector after by-passing the reflecting mirror 5-3 or 5-2. The reflecting mirrors 5-1, 5-3, and 5-7 are driven automatically with the signal of the detector 4 so that the transmitted light does not strike on them.

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention is an analyzer for measuring the concentration of gas for monitoring and controlling the gas concentration in various processes, and in particular, for measuring the concentration of a component to be measured over a wide range. The present invention relates to an infrared gas analyzer suitable for accurate quantitative determination.

In general, when a molecule is irradiated with infrared rays, it is excited by light with a wavelength corresponding to its own frequency and rotation spectrum, and exhibits absorption corresponding to that light.Infrared analysis uses this phenomenon. It is. This infrared absorption satisfies the Lampert-Beer law of equation (1) for the absorption wavelength.

That is, when the difference between the incident light IO and the transmitted light ■ is large,
The error will also become larger. Therefore, in order to perform accurate analysis, it is necessary to make the absorption cell long when analyzing a sample with a low concentration, and shorten the absorption cell when analyzing a sample with a high concentration. If it is not possible to lengthen the absorption cell, the same effect as lengthening the absorption cell can be expected by passing the transmitted light through the absorption cell many times (Mizushima Sanbu, Shimada Takehiko: Infrared absorption and Raman Effect, Kyoritsu Shuppan, 1978).

The above-mentioned conventional technology does not take into account adjustment of the length of the absorption cell, and when the concentration deviates from the optimum concentration range, it is necessary to dilute or concentrate the target component, making the analysis operation complicated. Furthermore, when analyzing a low concentration sample, if the length of the absorption cell is increased, there is a problem that the length of the absorption cell increases and the amount of sample increases.

An object of the present invention is to arbitrarily adjust the number of times the transmitted light passes through the absorption cell so as to obtain the same effect as automatically adjusting the length of the absorption cell.

An absorption cell reflecting mirror 6 guides the transmitted light to the absorption cell, and a detection reflecting mirror 6 guides the transmitted light to the detector. Infrared rays emitted from a light source 1 are separated into a certain wavelength range by a spectroscope 2 and guided to an absorption cell 3. The transmitted light that has passed through the absorption cell 3 is reflected by the absorption cell reflection mirror 5-1, passes through the absorption cell 3 again, and passes through the absorption cell 3 by the absorption cell reflection mirror 5-2. Similarly, the transmitted light is transmitted through the reflecting mirrors 5-3 to 5-
8 and reaches the detector 4. The detector 4 measures the intensity of transmitted light Io when no analytical component is present and the intensity I of transmitted light when the analytical component is present, and calculates the concentration in the sample from the ratio of the two (T=I/Io). seek.

When the transmittance at the detector 4 is larger than the optimum range (0.2 to 0.7), the absorption cell reflector 5-7 is bypassed and the detection reflector 6-4 located behind it is used. The transmitted light is guided to a detector. Furthermore, when the degree of 'a' is high, the absorption cell reflection mirror 5-3 or 5-2 is bypassed and the transmitted light is guided to the detector by the detection reflection mirror. Note that the absorption cell reflecting mirror 5-1.5-3.5-5.5-7 located in the opposite direction of the light source 1 with respect to the absorption cell 3 is automatically driven by the signal from the detector 4. This is to prevent transmitted light from hitting it.

While mixing the produced hot water containing carbon dioxide gas and helium 9-2 in an extractor 13, carbon dioxide gas is extracted and sent together with helium to an infrared gas analyzer 14 to measure the concentration of carbon dioxide gas in helium. It is possible to measure the organic carbon concentration in water. The underwater organic carbon analyzer equipped with the infrared gas analyzer of the present invention has the same effect as changing the optical path length of the absorption cell even for samples in which the concentration of organic carbon in water changes over a wide range, and the analysis accuracy can be improved accordingly. Can be analyzed without needing to speak. In addition, in order to analyze organic carbon with high sensitivity, it is necessary to extract the generated carbon dioxide gas with as small a volume as possible of an inert gas such as helium, but if the volume is too small, it will take a long time to fill the absorption cell with the sample. However, since the capacity of the absorption cell can be minimized in the present invention, the analysis time can be kept to a minimum.
