Amy J. R. Hunter, Joseph R. Morency, Constance L. Senior, Steven J. Davis, Mark E. Fraser, "Continuous Emissions Monitoring Using Spark-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (SIBS)," presented at ( ) , Journal of the Air and Waste Management Association 50 (1) , 111-117 (2000).
AbstractA new technology for monitoring airborne heavy metals on aerosols and particulates based on spark-induced breakdown spectroscopy (SIBS) was evaluated at a joint EPA/DOE test at the Rotary Kiln Incinerator Simulator (RKIS) facility at EPA/RTP in September 1997. The instrument was configured to measure lead and chromium in a simulated combustion flue gas in real time and in situ at target levels of 15 and 75 µg/dscm. Actual metal concentrations were measured during the tests using EPA Reference Method 29. The SIBS technology detected both lead and chromium at the low and high level concentrations. Additionally, the hardware performed without failure for >100 hours of operation and acquired data for 100% of the reference method tests. The chromium data were well correlated with concentration increases resulting from duct operations and pressure fluctuations that are known to entrain dust. sr-0928a
