  • Flow rate control means for controlling the flow rate of the airstream created by the vacuum means is also included.
  • the apparatus can include a plurality of coarse filter means, denuders, fine filter means, and SVOC collection means through which branch streams of the sample travel. Preferably these branch flows are substantially equivalent in flow volume.
  • a second aspect of the invention is a method of sampling the contaminants in an air sample.
  • the method comprises drawing the sample through a housing, separating the large particles of the sample, separating and trapping the coarse particles, removing the gaseous components in denuder means, trapping the fine particles, and removing the SVOCs.
  • a preferred embodiment of the method includes dividing the sample into branch flows prior to trapping the coarse particles, removing and collecting the gaseous components, removing the fine particles, and collecting SVOCs.
  • the sample branch flows preferably are substantially equivalent in flow volume.
  • a third aspect of the invention is a method for determining the VOC concentration in an air sample.
  • the method comprises the steps of dividing the sample into a plurality of branch flows, passing at least one branch flow through denuder means that removes VOCs, concurrently passing at least one branch flow through denuder means that does not remove VOCs, passing each branch flow through a separate particle filter means, passing each branch flow through a separate SVOC collection means, and removing and analyzing the composition and concentration of the filtrate on the fine filter means and the components trapped by the SVOC collection means for each branch flow.
  • Figure 1 is a flow chart indicating the path of an air sample through the sampler.
  • Figure 2 is a schematic representation of the sampler in which the sample remains in a single flow path.
  • Figure 3 is a schematic representation of the sampler in which the sample is divided into four branch flows at the denuders and in which the flow control means is an electronically controlled volumetric flow-based controller.
  • Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of an SVOC polymer trap and its surrounding housing.
  • the sampling apparatus identified in the drawings by the numeral 10 separates and classifies particulate, gaseous organic (VOC) , particulate organic, semi-volatile organic (SVOC) , acid gas, and basic gas components of an ambient air sample at a high flow rate.
  • Apparatus 10 is portable and thus can be transported easily to any location where testing is desired.
  • the apparatus includes a housing 12, vacuum means 14 that draws the air sample through the housing in a downstream direction, flow rate control means 16 for controlling the flow rate of the air sample, and a plurality of sampling devices.
  • the sampling devices include a first particle separation means 18 for separating the particle components of the sample into a large particle part and a remaining part, a second particle separation means 20 for separating the remaining part of the particle component into an coarse part and a fine part, coarse filter means 22 for trapping the coarse part of the particle components, denuder means 24 for removing from the sample one or more sample components from the group of acid gas components, basic gas components, and volatile organic compound components (VOCs) , fine filter means 26 for trapping the fine part of the particle component of the sample, and semi-volatile organic compound collection means 28 for collecting the semi-volatile organic compound (SVOCs) components from the air sample.

  • coarse filter means 22 for trapping the coarse part of the particle components
  • denuder means 24 for removing from the sample one or more sample
  • Vacuum means 14 draws air samples through housing 12 and each of the sampling devices located within. Vacuum means 14 is attached to housing 12 downstream of each of the sampling devices and may be of any pump-motor type capable of producing a sufficiently high flow rate to carry out the sampling operations.
  • the flow control means 16 is employed to ensure that the sample is passed through the sampler at a steady flow rate.
  • the flow rate is critical because fluctuations in flow rate adversely affect the accuracy of the sampling results.
  • Flow rate particularly affects the removal of gas components by the denuder means 14, since only a specific flow rate will result in the proper face velocity along the denuder surfaces to allow the gas components to be removed.
  • Flow rate can be controlled manually or electronically.
  • Manual control can be achieved by conventional control valves located downstream from the SVOC collection means and upstream from the vacuum means.
  • Manual flow control means also requires a flow sensor within housing 12.
  • Electronic control can be by an electronic flow controller such as that described in Behm et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,006,227.
  • the electronic controller attaches to the motor of vacuum means 14 and adjusts the power output based on pressure readings taken inside the housing.
  • the first particle separation means 18 separates particles that are larger than would be suitable for any sampling within the sampler. Generally particles larger than 10 ⁇ ,m are of no interest in a sampling because most of these particles are sufficiently large that they are screened out by the upper respiratory system and therefore cause no adverse health effects.
  • the first particle separation means 18 is attached upstream of the other sampling components, and may be of any of various known types which can, without unduly impairing the flow rate of the sample, remove large particles from an airstream while allowing smaller particles to pass. It may employ commercially available filter media materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coated glass fiber, quartz fiber, glass fiber, PTFE membrane, or Nucleopore membrane. Also suitable is any device configured to allow air passage but to restrict particle passage. An example of such a device is the two-stage inlet described in McFarland, Ortiz, and Bertich, A 10 ⁇ m Cutpoint Size Selective Inlet for Hi-Vol Samplers, 34 J. Air Poll. Control Assoc. , 544 (1984) , which traps large particles in the convolutions of its air passageway as the sample passes through.
  • PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene
  • the second particle separation means 20 divides the remaining sample contaminants into a coarse part and a fine part. It is generally necessary to remove the coarse particles from the air sample before passing the sample through denuder means 24, fine filter means 26, and SVOC collection means 28 for these downstream sampling elements to function properly.
  • the second particle separation means 20 is attached to the housing 12 downstream from the first particle separation means 18.
  • separating device that will remove particles larger than the designated cut size, defined as the minimum-sized particle that will be separated from the sample, without unduly restricting flow rate, can be used.
  • exemplary coarse separation means include a high volume virtual impactor (HWI) of the type described in Marple et al., U.S. Patent No. 4,670,135.
  • the HWI includes intake nozzles that extend perpendicular to the downstream flow direction created by the vacuum means.
  • the size of the intake nozzles determines the sample cutpoint, which can be precisely predicted based on principles of fluid mechanics and particle dynamics.
  • An exit tube for the major portion of the sample air flow extends perpendicular to the intake nozzles.
  • Receiving tubes that accept the minor portion of the flow that carries particulate matter larger than the cutpoint extend parallel to and in line with the intake nozzles and lead into a chamber containing a particle filter.
  • the second separation means 20 may also include a plurality of separation means, each with a different cutpoint, to create different particle size samples within branch flows for different sampling treatment and particle characterization downstream. This can be accomplished by the use of a plurality of HHVIs. If multiple HWIs are used, producing different cutpoints within the same entering airstream requires that the intake nozzles for the separate HWIs be sized according to the desired cutpoint.
  • the denuder means 24 is attached to the housing 12 downstream from the second separation means 20. It removes gaseous components from the sample.
  • the gas components of an air sample will include acid gasses, basic gasses and VOCs.
  • acid gasses to be collected include HN0 2 , HN0 3 , N0 2 , S0 2 , formic acid, and acetic acid.
  • the basic gas of most interest is ammonia.
  • VOCs to be collected include all other classes of gaseous organics, a large number of which are emitted from automotive exhaust, other combustion sources, and chemical processes.
  • the denuder means can be configured to remove any or all of these compounds.
  • the denuder means 24 include a core material configured so that it presents large surface areas to the air sample traveling past it, and further includes a surface agent upon such surface areas of the core with an affinity for the class of sample to be removed.
  • the core is shaped to expose all surface areas to the same face velocity as a sample is drawn over it; an exemplary configuration is concentric circles having their centers located in the center of a round housing and circumferences perpendicular to the path of sample travel.
  • suitable core materials include aluminum and glass, but any material known in the sampling art is acceptable.
  • Suitable surface agents are known in the sampling art. If acid gasses are to be removed, a sodium carbonate film covering the surface areas of the denuder core is effective, although any base ordinarily employed in the sampling art may be used.
  • an exemplary surface agent is citric acid, although any acid ordinarily employed in the sampling art may be used.
  • an exemplary stripping material is silicon grease, although any hydrophobic compound ordinarily employed in the sampling art may be used.
  • the denuder means 24 is to remove two or three of these sample components, the denuders are arranged in series, with the acid gas denuders upstream of other denuders, the basic gas denuders downstream from any acid gas denuders, and organic gas denuders downstream of basic gas denuders. Removing acid gasses from the sample first prevents them from reacting with the VOCS during the sampling process.
  • the denuding means 24 may be configured to accept branch flows created by a plurality of second particle separation means 20 or to create branch flows from a single main flow exiting the second particle separation means 20. In either case, each branch flow requires a separate denuder to receive and sample its contaminants exclusively; thus a plurality of denuders equal to the number of desired branch flows is required. It may be desired that these denuders each strip the same contaminants from the sample, in which case each contains the same denuding materials as the other denuders. In contrast, it may be desired that the individual denuders remove different contaminants, in which case the denuding material in one individual denuder will differ from that included in the others. Further, it may be desired not to remove certain contaminants from at least one sample branch flow, in which case the denuding structures for those contaminants are absent from the denuders through which those branches flow.
  • the fine filter means 26 is included in the sampler 10 to trap the fine particle part of the sample.
  • the fine filter means 26 is attached to the housing 12 downstream from the denuder means 24. Any filter means currently employed in the sampling art capable of trapping particles without unduly restricting the sample flow rate is suitable.
  • Exemplary filter media materials for the filter means include Nucleopore, quartz, PTFE, PTFE-coated glass fiber, or other membrane filter media; the choice of material may be influenced by the analytical procedure to be performed on the collected sample.
  • a plurality of filter sections may be employed; this is advantageous if different analytical tests are required to determine the composition and concentration of contaminants trapped by the filter.
  • a plurality of filter sections also permits the use of different filter materials in each section if desired.
  • the SVOC collection means 28 are included in the sampler 10 to trap SVOCs and are attached to the housing 12 just downstream from the fine filter means 26. SVOCs attach to fine particles and thus are not stripped by the denuder means 24. Once the fine particles are trapped by the fine filter means 26, the continued air flow evaporates some of the attached
  • SVOCs and causes them to pass through the fine filter means 26 and into the SVOC collection means.
  • SVOCs are organic compounds higher in molecular weight than VOCs; examples include polychlorinated biphenyl emissions (PCBs) , pesticides, chlorinated dioxins, and nuclear aromatic hydrocarbons.
  • PCBs polychlorinated biphenyl emissions
  • the SVOC collection means 28 includes a polymer trap for collecting the SVOCs.
  • a polymer trap comprises a section of collecting material through which air can pass but which absorbs SVOCs. It can be made of a variety of materials known in the art to successfully trap SVOCs; examples of materials are polyurethane foam (PUFF), XAD-2, Tenax, and charcoal. It may be desirable to combine materials for heightened collection; an example is a polymer trap with a XAD-2 core sandwiched by outer layers of PUFF.
  • a plurality of SVOC collection means 28 may also be employed. The benefit of multiple collection means is the ability to later perform different analytical procedures on each without affecting the results of another procedure.
  • a plurality of filter media may also be used to facilitate sample analysis. Operation of the sampler is represented by the flow chart of Figure 1. Power is supplied to the vacuum means 14, which creates a vacuum that draws an ambient air sample from the atmosphere into the housing 12. The flow rate produced is monitored by the flow rate control means 16, which can be adjusted manually or electronically to maintain a steady sample flow rate. The large particle part of the particulate component of the sample is trapped by the first separation means 18. The remaining part of the sample then flows to the second particle separation means 20, which separates the coarse particles and directs them to the coarse filter means 22. The sample then flows into the denuder means 24.
  • Precise flow rate control is critical in this removal step; the proper rate produces the required face velocity over the denuder surface and thus ensures removal of the desired gas component by the surface agent.
  • acid denuders are included, acid gasses are removed first, followed by removal of basic gasses if basic gas denuders are included, and further followed by VOC removal by VOC denuders if included in the sampler.
  • the sample then flows through the fine filter means 26 where the fine particles are trapped, and then proceeds through the SVOC collection means 28, which removes SVOCs from the sample. Finally, the sample flows into and through the vacuum means 14 and exits into the surrounding atmosphere.
  • a 55 cfm pump 32 (Gast Manufacturing, Benton Harbor, MI 49022) (slightly modified to increase pump displacement and reduce friction losses) is connected to the housing 34 downstream of all sampling elements.
  • the pump 32 is driven by a 3 Hp motor.
  • An operating flow rate of at least 40 cfm within the housing 34 is preferred because it provides flow sufficient to rapidly collect a sufficiently large sample of each contaminant to effectively measure its concentration.
  • the first particle separation means is a two-stage inlet 43 as described in McFarland, Ortiz, and Bertich.
  • the inlet 43 is connected to the housing upstream of all of the sampling components.
  • the cut point used for the large particle separation is 10 ⁇ m; particles larger than the cut point impinge in the convolutions of the inlet's flow tubes and must be cleared out periodically.
  • the second separation means comprises four HWIs 44 connected to the housing downstream from the inlet.
  • the cutpoints for the individual HWIs are 0.32 ⁇ m, O. ⁇ m, 1.5 ⁇ m, and 2.5 ⁇ m. Alternatively, all four have cutpoints of 2.5 ⁇ m.
  • the HWIs are configured so that the flow volumes of the flows exiting the HWIs are substantially equivalent.
  • the coarse filter means is a quartz fiber filter 46 located in the receiving chamber of the HWI 44. Particles smaller than 10 ⁇ m but larger than the cutpoint of the HWI 44 they entered are captured for analysis in this filter 46.
  • the denuder means is comprised of four denuders 50. Each of the denuders is aligned to receive a branch flow from one of the HWIs 44.
  • Acid gas denuders 52 comprise glass tubes dipped in a sodium carbonate solution.
  • Basic gas denuders 54 comprise glass tubes dipped in a citric acid solution.
  • VOC denuders 56 comprise a honeycombed configuration covered with silicon grease. After each sampling session, the denuder surface agents are removed and must be replaced. Three of the denuders remove acid gasses, basic gasses, and VOCs; the fourth denuder removes only acid and basic gasses. The exclusion of a VOC-removing structure from the fourth denuder allows phase distribution analysis to be performed on the VOCs to determine their concentration in the sample.
