Introduction
Interpretation of the core content of the standard
QX/T 272-2015 specifies the full-process technical requirements for measuring sulfur dioxide in the near-surface atmosphere using the ultraviolet fluorescence method. Its technical framework includes:
Measurement principle and technical characteristics
Based on the characteristic that sulfur dioxide molecules release 240-420nm fluorescence after being excited by 200-220nm ultraviolet light, the concentration measurement is achieved by detecting the fluorescence intensity through a photomultiplier tube.
- Low detection limit: up to nanoliter (nL/L)
- Strong anti-interference: eliminate interference such as aromatic hydrocarbons through the scrubber
- High stability: temperature compensation error <2%
| Performance indicators | Requirements | Test conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Response time | ≤2 minutes | ISO 9169 |
| Zero drift | <2nL/L/week | Zero gas test |
| Linearity error | ≤2% (50-500nL/L) | 5-point calibration |
Key system components
UV fluorescence analyzer must include:
- Polytetrafluoroethylene sampling line (inner diameter ≥4mm)
- 5μm particle filter membrane
- Pulsed UV light source (200-220nm)
- Temperature controlled reaction pool (±0.5℃)
Case: A provincial meteorological station uses a Thermo Scientific 43i analyzer, and after calibration with standard gas, the annual data efficiency reaches 98.7%.
Calibration and quality control
Establish a three-level measurement value transfer system:
- International standard gas (designated by WMO)
- National standard gas (CMC certified)
- Working standard gas (for station-level use)
Multi-point calibration requirements:
- ≥5 concentration points (covering 80-90% of the measuring range)
- Correlation coefficient R²>0.999
- Calibrate once every 3 months
Implementation recommendations
Site selection specifications
Should meet the following requirements:
- Distance from pollution source>10 times the building height
- Sampling port height 1.5-2m (flat roof)
- 270° sector-shaped obstacle-free area
Data abnormality processing
Invalid data should be marked when the following situations occur:
- Data within 15 minutes after calibration
- Flow fluctuation>±2%
- Temperature exceeds the range of 10-30℃
