The Bureau serves also as a focal point in the Federal Government for assuring maximum application of the physical and engineering sciences to the advancement of technology in industry and commerce. To accomplish this mission, the Bureau is organized into three institutes covering broad program areas of research and services: THE INSTITUTE FOR BASIC STANDARDS . provides the central basis within the United States for a complete and consistent system of physical measurements, coordinates that system with the measurement systems of other nations, and furnishes essential sendees leading to accurate and uniform physical measurements throughout the Nation's scientific community, industry, and commerce. This Institute comprises a series of divisions, each serving a classical subject matter area: —Applied Mathematics—Electricity—Meterology—Mechanics—Heat—Atomic Physics—Physical Chemistry—Radiation Physics—Laboratory Astrophysics 2—Radio Standards Laboratory,2 which includes Radio Standards Physics and Radio Standards Engineering—Office of Standard Refer- ence Data. THE INSTITUTE FOR MATERIALS RESEARCH . conducts materials research and provides associated materials services including mainly reference materials and data on the properties of ma- terials. Beyond its direct interest to the Nation's scientists and engineers, this Institute yields services which are essential to the advancement of technology in industry and commerce. This Institute is or- ganized primarily by technical fields —Analytical Chemistry—Metallurgy—Reactor Radiations—Polymers—Inorganic Materials—Cry- ogenics 2—Materials Evaluation Laboratory— Office of Standard Reference Materials. THE INSTITUTE FOR APPLIED TECHNOLOGY . provides technical services to promote the use of available technology and to facilitate technological innovation in industry and government. The principal elements of this Institute are: —Building Research—Electronic Instrumentation—Textile and Apparel Technology Center Technical Analysis—Center for Computer Sciences and Technology—Office of Weights and Meas- ures—Office of Engineering Standards Services—Office of Invention and Innovation—Clearing- house for Federal Scientific and Technical Information.3 1 Headquarters and Laboratories at Gaithersburg, Maryland, unless otherwise noted; mailing address Washington, D.C., 20234. 2 Located at Boulder, Colorado, 80302. 3 Located at 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, Virginia, 22151. Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 66-61840 ii Foreword The National Standard Reference Data System is a government-wide effort to give to the technical community of the United States optimum access to the quantitative data of physical science, critically evaluated and compiled for convenience. This program was established in 1963 by the President's Office of Science and Technology, acting upon the recommen- dation of the Federal Council for Science and Technology. The National Bureau of Standards has been assigned responsibility for administering the effort. The general objective of the System is to coordinate and inte- grate existing data evaluation and compilation activities into a systematic, comprehensive program, supplementing and expanding technical coverage when necessary, establishing and maintaining standards for the output of the participating groups, and providing mechanisms for the dissemination of the output as required. The NSRDS is conducted as a decentralized operation of nationwide scope with central coordination by NBS. It comprises a complex of data centers and other activities, carried on in government agencies, academic institutions, and nongovernmental laboratories. The independent opera- tional status of existing critical data projects is maintained and encour- aged. Data centers that are components of the NSRDS produce compilations of critically evaluated data, critical reviews of the state of quantitative knowledge in specialized areas, and computations of useful functions derived from standard reference data. The primary output of the NSRDS—compilations and critical reviews —is to be published in a new series, called the National Standard Refer- ence Data Series, within the NBS publications program. However, it has become apparent that bibliographies, especially annotated and indexed bibliographies which are essential elements of the compilation and eval- uation process, have a substantial value of their own to the technical public. Plans have therefore been made to publish a number of specialized bibliog- raphies. Some of these will appear in the present NBS Miscellaneous Publication series or as NBS Technical Notes; others will be published and distributed through channels connected with their authors or co- sponsors. A. V. Astin, Director iii Preface This collection consists of 5,113 references to works on flame spec- troscopy, selected with emphasis toward analytical measurements, and covers the period from about 1800 to 1966. The references are arbitrarily classified according to the following scheme: 1. Emission 1.1. Early papers (1800 to 1928) (503 references) 1.2. Books on analytical flame spectroscopy (14 references) 1.3. Theses (60 references) 1.4. Reviews (80 references) 1.5. Bibliographies (20 references) 1.6. Chapters in books and related material (65 references) 1.7. Fundamental papers (1173 references) 1.8. Instrumentation (401 references) 1.9. Analytical procedures (1987 references) 1.10. Less familiar flames (92 references) 2. Atomic absorption spectroscopy 2.1. Atomic absorption spectroscopy (353 references) 2.2. Hollow cathodes (87 references) 3. Electrical discharges having the aspect of combustion flames 3.1. RF discharges (154 references) 3.2. Plasma arcs (98 references) 3.3. Arc-and-spark-in-flame (26 references). In collecting the references assembled in this bibliography the author has made use of original publications and of abstracting publications such as Chemical Abstracts, Science Abstracts Section A, Biological Abstracts, Analytical Abstracts, Technical Abstract Bulletin of the Defense Documen- tation Center, Scientific and Technical Aerospace Reports of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Nuclear Science Abstracts, Cur- rent Chemical Papers (The Chemical Society, London), Metallurgical Ab- stracts, Ceramic Abstracts. An appreciable number of references were initially obtained from books and reviews; when possible these were veri- fied against the original work. When the original was unavailable or written in an unfamiliar language, the reference was checked with one of the abstracting publications mentioned above. The following libraries were used for this collection: Chemists' Club, Engineering Society, New York Academy of Medicine, Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research, Philips Laboratories, and New York Public Library. The references are arranged in each section in alphabetical order by authors followed by the title of the work, always translated into English, by the complete bibliographical information, and whenever possible by the corresponding Chemical Abstract number. When it was considered neces- sary, brief introductory comments and subject indexes were provided at the corresponding sections. It is the intention of the author to continue the collection of references to works on flame spectroscopy and to publish periodically supplements to the present bibliography. He will therefore appreciate receiving construc- tive criticism and suggestions as well as corrections of the unavoidable errors always encountered in this type of publication, and in particular he requests the authors of papers pertaining to the field covered in this bibli- ography to send reprints or complete references of their works. This work was initiated through the interest, encouragement, and support of the National Bureau of Standards, Office of Standard Reference Data. It was financed jointly by the National Bureau of Standards under Contract No. CST-1343, and Philips Laboratories, a Division of North American Philips Company, Inc. iv It is a pleasure to acknowledge the assistance and encouragement of S.

This paper presents an explosion-proof two-channel Raman photometer designed for chemical pro- cess monitoring in hazardous explosive atmospheres. Due to its design, alignment of components is simplified and economic in comparison to spectrometer systems. Raman spectrometers have the potential of becoming an increasingly important tool in process analysis technologies as part of molecular-specific concentration monitor- ing. However, in addition to the required laser power, which restricts use in potentially explosive atmospheres, the financial hurdle is also high. Within the scope of a proof of concept, it is shown that photometric measure- ments of Raman scattering are possible. The use of highly sensitive detectors allows the required excitation power to be reduced to levels compliant for operation in potentially explosive atmospheres.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: 22 December 2007 / Accepted: 7 January 2008 / Published: 9 January 2008 Abstract: In this paper an input-output transfer function analysis based on the frequency response of a photometer circuit based on operational amplifier (op amp) is carried out. Op amps are universally used in monitoring photodetectors and there are a variety of amplifier connections for this purpose. However, the electronic circuits that are usually used to carry out the signal treatment in photometer circuits introduce some limitations in the performance of the photometers that influence the selection of the op amps and other electronic devices. For example, the bandwidth, slew-rate, noise, input impedance and gain, among other characteristics of the op amp, are often the performance limiting factors of photometer circuits. For this reason, in this paper a comparative analysis between two photodiode amplifier circuits is carried out. One circuit is based on a conventional current- to-voltage converter connection and the other circuit is based on a robust current-to-voltage converter connection. The results are satisfactory and show that the photodiode amplifier performance can be improved by using robust control techniques. Keywords: photometer circuit, current-to-voltage converter connection, frequency response, robust control Sensors 2008, 8 36 1.

Diffuse spectral reflection 348 IV. Other applications 350 V. Summary 352 I. INTRODUCTION Anyone who has had experience in trying to make spectro- photometric measurements of transmission or reflection in the blue and violet parts of the spectrum is well aware of the difficulty of obtaining reliable determinations in this region. Nearly all methods have relatively low sensitivity, or else are inaccurate for other reasons, from wave lengths 400 to 500 millimicrons (m/x). Radiometric methods, which are so suitable for infra-red work and which have been used also in the visible and even in the ultra- violet, are, nevertheless, not of the highest accuracy in these latter regions because of the relatively low radiant power of all sources used for this kind of work, the radiant power decreasing continuously with the wave length. It is very difficult to obtain accurate determinations below 500 m/x by the usual radiometric methods. Any visual method is limited in the blue and violet because of the combined low visibility of the human eye and the low radiant power of the sources used, except at the few wave lengths where monochromatic light of great intensity can be ob- tained, as from the mercury arc. The Hilger sector photometer method, which is the only photographic method of speed and reliability, also has its limitations for this region. Being such a 1 An abst-act of this paper was presented to the Optical Society of America at the Baltimore meet- ing, Dec, 27, 1918.

  • Application of Filter Photometers in the Production of Ethylene and Propylene
    Analytical Products Sales Engineering Application of Filter Photometers in the Production of Ethylene and Propylene SC7-66-403 Gary D. Brewer APPLICATION OF FILTER PHOTOMETERS IN THE PRODUCTION OF ETHYLENE AND PROPYLENE Gary D. Brewer Product Manager, Photometers ABB Inc. 843 N. Jefferson St. Lewisburg, WV 24901 KEYWORDS Photometer, Infrared Spectroscopy, IR, Near Infrared Spectroscopy, NIR, Ultraviolet Spectroscopy, UV, Ethylene, Propylene ABSTRACT There have been several successful applications of process filter photometers in ethylene plants throughout the world. The process of manufacturing ethylene is extremely fast; therefore, the continuous measurements provided by filter photometers allow for a fast response to process changes for better control and process optimization. The capability of the current generation of filter photometers to use several analytical wavelengths to compensate for spectral interferences have allowed their use in measurements that previously could not be done by photometers. The high reliability and simplicity of filter photometers make them a valuable tool in the process control of an olefins plant. Applications in the IR and NIR spectral regions in both the vapor and liquid phases will be discussed to demonstrate their capabilities and benefits in this manufacturing process. Applications that will be discussed include the measurement of acetylene and ethane at the acetylene converters and the measurement of methyl acetylene and propadiene (MAPD) at the MAPD converters can be measured on a single infrared photometer. Applications at the caustic wash tower and the measurement of carbon dioxide at the furnace decoke will also be discussed. INTRODUCTION Ethylene is one of the highest volume chemicals produced in the world.

Musso Handed in by : Pierre Madl (Mat-#: 9521584) Maricela Yip (Mat-#: 9424495) Salzburg, August 28th 2000 raman-prtkl4.doc 2/15 10.07.07 Introduction When radiation passes through a transparent medium, the species present scatter a fraction of the beam in all directions. In 1928, the Indian physicist C.V.Raman discovered that the wavelength of a small fraction of the radiation scattered by certain molecules differ from that of the incident beam; furthermore, the shifts in wavelength depend upon the chemical structure of the molecules responsible for scattering. The theory of Raman scattering, which now is well understood, shows that the phenomenon results from the same type of quantized vibrational changes that are associated with infrared (IR) absorption. Thus, the difference in wavelength between the incident and scattered radiation corresponds to wavelengths in the mid-infrared region. Indeed, Raman scattering spectrum and infrared spectrum for a given species often resemble one another quite closely. There are, however, enough differences between the kinds of groups that are infrared active and those that are Raman active to make the techniques complementary rather than competitive. For some problems, the infrared method is the superior tool, for others, the Raman procedure offers more useful spectra. An important advantage of Raman spectra over infrared lies in the fact that water does not cause interference; indeed, Raman spectra can be obtained form aqueous solutions.
