Abstract:

Gas analyzers based on Raman spectroscopy designed at the Institute of Monitoring of Climatic and Ecological Systems SB RAS are described. Their capabilities and advantages are shown in measurements of the composition of fuel gases (natural, bio-, and synthesis gas) and atmospheric and exhaled air. The features of the analyzer operation and the techniques for increasing the measurement accuracy are discussed.

Keywords:

Raman spectroscopy, gas analysis, atmospheric air, methane, carbon dioxide, natural gas
