Abstract

A flowing post-discharge of N2 and N2-CH4 gas mixtures has been used to produce nitrogen and carbon atoms. New technique for qualitative and quantitative measurement of various gas phase hydrocarbon species in a flow and the apparatus for its implementation are described. The method is based on C+N chemiluminiscent reactions in flowing post-discharge of N2+hydrocarbon gas mixtures at low temperature (77 K). Detection of hydrocarbon species has been demonstrated from concentrations greater than 1010 molecules.cm−3.
