5.1 Sampling instrument
Sampling instruments that meet the requirements of Chapter 5 of HJ93-2013 should be used 5.2 Analytical instruments
5.2.1 Working principle
Thermo-optical carbon analyzer is used to analyze the concentration of atmospheric carbon aerosol: thermal light reflection method and thermal light transmission method are used. The main principle of this method is: organic carbon (OCHe) released in pure ammonia environment and elemental carbon (ECo,+He) is oxidized to CO under the action of a catalyst, which can be directly detected by a non-dispersive infrared detector (NDIR), or CO is reduced to CH and detected by a flame ionization detector (FID) in a hydrogen environment. During the analysis process, the sample is irradiated with a reflected laser or a transmitted laser throughout the entire process, and the initial light intensity signal is used as a reference. When organic carbon begins to crack, the light intensity signal decreases. As oxygen continues to flow in, the light intensity signal will rise again. The point at which the initial light intensity signal returns to the initial light intensity signal is set as the OC and EC split point to obtain optical cracking carbon (OPC). 5.2.2 Instrument composition, technical requirements and performance indicators The thermal optical carbon analyzer consists of a host, an oxidation furnace, a detector and a laser detector. Depending on the detector, a reduction furnace can be optionally equipped.
TC measurement range: 0.05uμg/cm~750μg/cm; detection limit: 0.93μg/cm; precision: about 10%; accuracy: 2%~6%.

Otherwise, check the cylinder pressure, gas flow, air tightness, replacement of oxidation tube or methane conversion tube, etc. After meeting the requirements, the average value of TC mass calculated from the three repeated analyses and the relative error of the mass of carbon in the standard solution should be within ±5% (TC mass is TC measured value multiplied by 1cm), otherwise the instrument should be recalibrated; Stability check should be done before each analysis and after 24b of continuous operation. 7.3 Instrument blank analysis
