Introduction to OzoneInstrumentation and Analysis Nate Herbst, Southern Ute Indian Tribe Joe Hameed, ITEP/TAMS
Intro to Instruments and Analysis • What type of instrumentation is used? • What type of analysis is employed? • How is the analysis performed? • How does the analyzer work?
Ozone Analyzer Basics • Design based on U.V absorption • U.V photometry [O3] Some pictures of the Thermo 49C
Theory of Analysis • Ozone absorbs 240nm U.V radiation • Dual cell technique ambient and zero absorptions • Zero and ambient absorptions compared • Ozone concentration = ambient absorption – zero absorption
U. V. Photometric Absorption • Remember: ozone absorbs U.V. Photo courtesy of University of Wisconsin General Chemistry Class. Ozone absorbing U.V radiation. Animation by NASA. Amount of U.V light leaving cell #1 corresponds to [O3] Amount of U.V light leaving cell #2 provides your blank U.V. Lamp Zero air Ambient air Detector
