To measure the equivalent ratio distribution of the two-stage lean premixed (DLP) flame, we propose using acetone/toluene planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) technology to simultaneously measure the concentrations of the two components. Appropriate excitation laser wavelength and filters are used to assess the influence of acetone and toluene on each other’s fluorescence signal at room temperature. Experimental results show that acetone has a strong absorption effect on toluene’s fluorescence signal, the effective absorption cross-section is 5.77 × 10−20 cm−2. Acetone has an obvious quenching effect on the toluene fluorescence signal, and the Stern–Volmer coefficient is 0.50 kPa−1. The collisions between the molecules of toluene and acetone will lead to the enhancement of the fluorescence signal of acetone, and the enhancement coefficient is exponential with the acetone’s concentration. The quantitative relationship between the fluorescence intensity and the concentrations of the two tracers is obtained by establishing the photophysical model of toluene and acetone’s fluorescence signals.
Raman spectrum is a common method of evaluating the graphitization degree of carbon materials. However, there is still some controversy over its evaluation for coal graphitization, i.e., whether large ID/IG means a high graphitization degree of coal. This work uses an ultraviolet (UV) Raman spectrum to find a better index of graphitization degree. The T peak (sp3 sites) of coal was first directly detected. The IT/IG and ID/IG decrease after pyrolysis in UV Raman spectra at 266 nm, which shows that the sp3 site relative content decreases and the sp2 site relative content increases. Moreover, the absolute value of the D band dispersion slopes as the excitation wavelength increases and the D peak width decreases, which shows that the coal gets more orderly after pyrolysis. The position difference (G–D) decreases and the G peak width increases after pyrolysis in UV–Vis Raman spectra, indicating the decomposition of vitrinite in coal. The 2D′ peak decreased after pyrolysis. These parameters in multi-wavelength Raman spectra can be used to evaluate the structure of coal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
