    摘要: The gas absorption/adsorption memory effect in gas analysis can be reduced by controlling gas flow conditions such that the partial pressure of the analyte of interest is held constant, if the measured analyte concentration is within a predetermined range. Keeping the analyte partial pressure constant is helpful for mitigating the memory effect because changes in analyte absorption/adsorption rates tend to be driven by changes in analyte partial pressure. The memory effect can also be mitigated by performing concentration measurements at two or more different gas flow conditions, and employing a mathematical model to estimate true concentration and “memory effect” contributions to measured concentrations at one or more of the flow conditions. The mathematical model can be based on an assumption that the true analyte concentration is independent of flow rate or pressure, while the “memory effect” contribution to measured concentration is inversely proportional to flow rate or pressure.

    摘要翻译: 如果测量的分析物浓度在预定范围内,则气体分析中的气体吸收/吸附记忆效应可以通过控制气体流动条件来降低,使得目标分析物的分压保持恒定。 保持分析物分压恒定有助于减轻记忆效应,因为分析物吸收/吸附速率的变化倾向于由分析物分压的变化驱动。 还可以通过在两种或多种不同气体流动条件下进行浓度测量来减轻记忆效应,并采用数学模型来估计在一个或多个流动条件下的测量浓度的真实浓度和“记忆效应”贡献。 数学模型可以基于真实分析物浓度与流量或压力无关的假设,而“记忆效应”对测量浓度的贡献与流速或压力成反比。

    摘要: Particle concentration is monitored in a gas stream, in particular rust particle concentration in the exhaust gas stream of an internal combustion engine. A sensor in the gas stream collects the particles that are monitored. The sensor is integrated as a capacitive element in an electromagnetic resonant circuit excited by an alternating voltage. The sensor includes a non-conducting base body and two electrodes spaced apart from each other. A characteristic value of the resonant circuit varying on the basis of the particle load of the sensor is determined as a reference value when the sensor is unloaded. The change in the characteristic value due to the particle load is determined relative to the reference value.

In particular, the invention relates to linear polycarbosilane compounds for use in various analytical applications involving sorbent polymer materials, including chromatoghraphy, chemical trapping, analyte collection, and chemical sensor applications. These polymers have pendant and terminal aryl, alkyl, alkenyl, and alkynyl groups that are functionalized with halogen substituted alcohol or phenol groups, having the general structure: wherein n is an integer greater than 1; wherein at least one of R1 and R2 is a linear or branched arm having at least one group independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, and aryl groups, or combinations thereof, and having at least one halogen substituted alcohol or phenol groups attached thereto; wherein any said R1 and R2 aryl groups are attached to said [Si—X-]n either directly or through a short hydrocarbon chain; wherein any remaining said R1 or R2 group is a hydrocarbon or carbosilane group; wherein X is a polymer component selected from the group consisting of alkylene, alkenylene, alkynylene, arylene groups, and combinations thereof; and wherein Z1 and Z2 are end groups independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, alkyl silanes, aryl silanes, hydroxyl, silicon hydride, alkoxides, phenols, halogen substituted alcohols, halogen substituted phenols, organosilyl, and combinations thereof. These polymeric materials are primarily designed to sorb hydrogen bond basic analytes such as organophosphonate esters (nerve agents and precursors) and nitro-substituted compounds (explosives).

    摘要: A process for automated measurement of ammonia in a gas mixture containing ammonia gas and one or more water-insoluble gases includes providing a water reservoir adapted for supplying water therefrom through a first solenoid valve and providing a measurement vessel adapted for receiving water. The vessel is adapted for draining the water therefrom through a second solenoid valve. The vessel is also adapted for receiving the gas mixture through a third solenoid valve and purging the gas mixture from the vessel through a fourth solenoid valve. The vessel is adapted for maintaining the gas in the vessel and receiving water thereinto in an amount sufficient to dissolve the ammonia gas contained in the gas mixture, into the water, and allowing a differential pressure between the gas mixture and the water containing dissolved ammonia to be measured. The process also includes providing a measurement vessel adapted for allowing height of water within the vessel to be measured, providing means for measuring height of water within measurement vessel, and providing recording means for converting the measured height signal to an ammonia concentration value.

    摘要: Method and apparatus are provided for accurately and more rapidly measuring the permeability of various test gases in cellular polymeric materials with very low permeation rates, comprising a constant volume test chamber sealed with indium gaskets, said chamber being connected to a gas inlet valve and test gas reservoir with pressure gauge, gas outlet valve and oil check valve, an absolute pressure transducer to track the change in pressure in the test chamber, and said chamber being submerged in a water bath for strict temperature control. A thinly cut foam sample is placed in the test chamber surrounded by the test gas, where the gas inside the sample is first allowed to reach equilibrium with the surrounding gas; the pressure of the surrounding gas is then raised or lowered, and the rate at which the sample takes up or gives off the test gas is recorded over time as a change in pressure of the test gas around the foam. From this pressure variation the desired permeability coefficient may be measured, and achieved more quickly due to the reduced thickness of the sample. Unlike standard prior art transmission-method devices, this new sorption method and apparatus also allows for separate determination of the diffusion and solubility coefficients; it further allows for the use of much thinner foam samples than can be reliably used in prior art methods, resulting in a substantial reduction in testing time. The effective diffusion coefficient is used as an input to a computational model which predicts the rate of aging in a foam insulation panel. The effective solubility coefficient is used primarily to understand the behavior of the blowing agent in the foam system.

    摘要: The disclosed electrolytic field respirometer consists of a sample vessel in which oxygen is utilized by a biological sample. Oxygen is provided on demand from an electrolytic cell which is turned on when the electrolyte level in a contact tube rises because of decreased pressure in the sample vessel due to oxygen consumption. A compensating vessel is operatively connected to the electrolytic cell to balance pressure fluctuations due to changes in the environmental pressure or temperature to which the respirometer is subjected.
