Simultaneous Quantitative Detection of HCN and C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>2</sub> in Combustion Environment Using TDLAS

Emission of nitrogen oxides (NO<sub>x</sub>) and soot particles during the combustion of biomass fuels and municipal solid waste is a major environmental issue. Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and acetylene (C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>2</sub>) are important precursors of NO<sub...

Simultaneous Quantitative Detection of HCN and C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>2</sub> in Combustion Environment Using TDLAS
description Emission of nitrogen oxides (NO<sub>x</sub>) and soot particles during the combustion of biomass fuels and municipal solid waste is a major environmental issue. Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and acetylene (C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>2</sub>) are important precursors of NO<sub>x</sub> and soot particles, respectively. In the current work, infrared tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (IR-TDLAS), as a non-intrusive in situ technique, was applied to quantitatively measure HCN and C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>2</sub> in a combustion environment.
