Development of Real-time Measurement Techniques of Hydrocarbons in Vehicle Exhaust Gas by FT-IR and Mass Spectrometric Methods

Hydrocarbons in gasoline vehicle exhaust, such as alkenes and aromatic hydrocarbons, have potential for ozone formation in the atmosphere. To develop a high-performance three-way catalyst for reducing the amounts of these hydrocarbons, simple and real-time measurement techniques of hydrocarbons based on structural classification are required. In this study, real-time measurement techniques of hydrocarbons in gasoline vehicle exhaust, based on distinction of structure, were developed using Fourier transform infrared spectrometric (FT-IR) and photoionization mass spectrometric methods. Using a standard gas of blended hydrocarbons, the fundamental measurement methods were constructed. By comparing with existing techniques, such as GC-MS, it was confirmed that hydrocarbons classified by structure in exhaust emitted from gasoline vehicles can be efficiently measured using both measurement techniques.
