Abstract

Two automatically operating thermodenuder systems for the measurement of HNO3 and ammonium nitrate in air are described. One system (A) uses quartz annular denuders coated with MgSO4 and a sample flow of 5 ℓ min-1. A limit of detection of 0.1 μg m-3 HNO3 and NH4NO3 is obtained by using a sampling time of 30 min. A second system (B) is based on BaSO4 and NaF coated glassy carbon denuders and a flow of 0.66 ℓ min-1. System B has a limit of detection of 0.06 μg m-3 HNO3 and NH4NO3 using a sampling time of 24 h. In both systems air is sampled by denuder tubes at ambient temperature in order to collect HNO3 in series with denuder tubes operated at 150°C to collect ammonium nitrate aerosol. After sampling the denuders are heated to 700°C and the liberated NOx is detected by a standard NOx monitor.
