Measurement 4-1
Section 4: Measurement
This section describes the principle and parameters for nitrogen measurement with the
ND-500 unit. For operation as a system, read the operation manual. Measurement with
the acid gas removal set is also described.
4-1. Measurement Principle (Vertical Furnace)
This section describes the sulfur measurement principle for the vertical furnace. Fig. 4-1
is the measurement principle diagram using the vertical furnace.
Argon gas whose flow is controlled by the mass flow controller is used as the carrier gas.
A sample is injected by the argon carrier gas into a high-temperature (600 to 1100
degrees Celsius) combustion tube at a constant rate. Most of the nitrogen compound in
the sample changes into NO through pyrolysis and combustion oxidation by O2 gas
supplied to the outer combustion tube.
After sample injection, the change valve changes the gases of the inner and outer
combustion tubes to completely combust the sample in the inner combustion tube with
O2 gas.
Generated NO passes through the gas tube dryer to remove moisture and reacts with
ozone in the cell. Then, the following oxidation reaction occurs and an emission of 590
to 2500 nm is observed.
NO ＋ O3 → NO2 ＋ O2 ＋ h
This emitted light is received by the photomultiplier tube (PMT) and AREA value is
obtained. Using the relation between the area value and the absolute volume
(calibration curve) obtained from calibration curve solutions, the nitrogen content of the
sample is calculated.

Measurement 4-3
4-2. Cautions at Nitrogen Measurement
Due to the detection principle, any substance other than NO that reacts with ozone to
generate chemiluminescence gives positive interference and any substance that
removes excitation energy from excited NO2 gives negative interference.
(1) Carbonyl compounds of iron and nickel react with ozone to generate
chemiluminescence, which gives positive interference. However, it is unlikely that
these substances exist in sample gas after combustion. Therefore, there are no
practical problems.
(2) Olefins (such as ethylene and trimethyl ethylene) and sulfide compounds (such as
dimethyl sulfide and hydrogen sulfide) react with ozone to generate
chemiluminescence, which gives positive interference. However, the wavelengths
of these substances are different from the wavelength of chemiluminescence
caused by NO and the ND-500 unit uses optical filters to detect only arbitrary
wavelengths. Therefore, the wavelengths of these substances are not detected
basically.
(3) A sample that contains chlorine produces chlorine gas through combustion and
may give positive interference. It is necessary to use the acid gas removal set to
trap chlorine gas.
(4) Moisture in sample gas gives negative interference. This system uses a gas tube
dryer to remove moisture from the sample gas after combustion.
(5) Carbon dioxide in sample gas gives negative interference at a fixed rate if the
concentration is stable. However, by the reduced pressure method, the pressure
within the chemiluminescence cell is reduced and intervention in molecules is
decreased. Therefore, the negative interference of carbon dioxide can be
decreased to an irrelevant level.
In addition, since chemiluminescence generated by the reaction of NO with ozone is

detected, nitrogen compounds whose main component after pyrolysis is N2 (such as
azo compounds and hydrazine compounds) cannot be measured accurately.

4-4 Measurement
4-3. Platinum Catalyst Oxidation Treatment
To use new platinum catalyst, oxidation treatment needs to be done before use for
measurement. Fill it into the combustion tube, and do oxidation treatment by the
following procedure.

When oxidizing the platinum catalyst, be sure to remove the female ball
joint or the trap tube for combustion tube bottom. Set a beaker under the
combustion tube outlet because moisture comes out of a new platinum
catalyst.
When a platinum catalyst is oxidized, acid gas may come out and
damage health. Always perform operation in a well-ventilated
environment.
(1) Fill new quartz wool and platinum catalyst into the combustion tube by referring to
the operation manual.
(2) Set the combustion tube by referring to the instruction manual of the electric
furnace.
(3) Without connecting the female ball joint 18 or trap tube 18 of the combustion
tube bottom, prebake the tube for about 5 hours with the following settings.
Electric furnace Inlet: 800 degrees Celsius, Outlet: 800 degrees Celsius, Ar gas:

4-5-2. Parameters Set in a Schedule
This section describes ND-500 parameters which are set in a schedule. PMT sensitivity
and a detection mode can be set in a schedule every measurement step. The details of
PMT sensitivities and detection modes are as follows. Refer to the operation manual for
setting methods.
(1) PMT sensitivity
Select the sensitivity of the detector according to the concentration range for
measurement. “High sensitivity” is a setting for the measurement of trace range
and “Low sensitivity” is a setting for measurement of higher-concentration range. It
may be necessary to select not only the PMT sensitivity but also an appropriate
sample volume, depending on the concentration range. Table 4-3 shows PMT
sensitivity and sample volume settings. Further dilution may be necessary
because the optimal sample volume may vary depending on the unit configuration,
the sample matrix, and other factors. To measure gas, select an appropriate PMT
sensitivity and sample volume based on the absolute volume (nitrogen content).

(2) Mode
To detect start and end points of signal processing, select “Auto” or “Timer”. When
measuring samples in a trace range, select “Timer” because the peak start and
end sometimes may not be detected automatically.
Auto: Peak is automatically detected by judging the start and end points based on
the slope of signal strength.
Timer: Peak is detected by processing signals with set start and end times.
POINT Mode setting

Use “Timer” for the measurement mode for low concentration sample
measurement, and “Auto” for high concentration sample measurement.
If the start and end of integration cannot be detected properly, set the
measurement mode to “Timer”.
