[Monitoring Method of Total Particulate Matter in Ultra-low-emission and High-humidity Exhaust Gas from Stationary Sources and an Actual Test in a Gas Power Plant].

With the implementation of ultra-low-emission transformation in coal-fired power plants and other related industries in China, the concentrations of filterable particulate matter (FPM) and gaseous pollutants in exhaust gas from stationary sources have reduced significantly, while the emission of condensable particulate matter (CPM) remains a concern. In this study, the monitoring methods of FPM and CPM at a relatively low FPM concentration in exhaust gas from stationary sources in China and abroad were comprehensively analyzed. On the basis of existing research and experimental exploration, the monitoring methods of FPM and CPM were further studied. A direct condensation sampling and monitoring method for total particulate matter (TPM) in ultra-low-emission and high-humidity exhaust gas from stationary sources, which is suitable for the actual situation in China, was developed and established before being used to measure TPM in exhaust gas from a gas power plant in Beijing. The results showed that the emission concentration of TPM in the exhaust gas from the gas power plant was between 1.98 mg·m-3 and 3.77 mg·m-3 (average of 2.81 mg·m-3), whereas the average emission concentration of FPM was only 0.10 mg·m-3. The emission type of particulate matter in exhaust gas from the gas power plant was mainly CPM, which accounted for 93.8% to 99.2% of the TPM (average of 97.0%). The proportion of FPM to TPM ranged from 0.7% to 6.2% (average of 3.0%). The emission concentration of filterable CPM was slightly higher than that of FPM.
