Elemental mercury is collected insubsequent impingers (one impinger containing a chilledaqueous acidic solution of hydrogen peroxide and three im-pingers containing chilled aqueous acidic solutions of potas-sium permangan

Do not use a glass fritor stainless steel wire screen.Asilicone rubber or PTFE gasket,designed to provide a positi

Thistube must be heated to a minimum of 120C to help preventwater and acid condensation. (The umbilical tube is defined asany tubing longer than 0.5 m that connects the filter h

35、older tothe impinger train).7.1.7 Probe and Filter Heating System:7.1.7.1 EPA Method 5 ConfigurationFor EPA Method 5configuration, the temperature of the flue gas, sample probe,and the exit of the sample filter must be monitored usingtemperature sensors capable of measuring temperature towithin 3C (

36、5.4F). The heating system must be capable ofmaintaining the sample gas temperature of the probe and exitof the sample filter to within 615C (627F) of the flue gastemperature. Regardless of the flue gas temperature, to preventwater and acid condensation, at no time must the probetemperature, sample f

37、ilter exit gas temperature, or the tempera-ture of the connecting umbilical cord be less than 120C.7.1.7.2 EPA Method 17 ConfigurationFor EPAMethod 17configuration, the sample filter is located in the duct and,therefore, naturally maintained at the flue gas temperature. Theheating system is only req

40、ight glass tube extending to about 1.3 cm (0.5 in.)from the bottom of the flask. The third and seventh impingersare also Greenburg-Smith design, but with the standard tipincluding the glass impinging plate.

42、alent desiccant. Refer toNote 1.NOTE 1When flue gas streams are sampled with high moisturecontent (20 %), additional steps must be taken to eliminate carryover ofimpinger contents from one sample type to the next. These steps mustinclude use of oversized impinger(s) or use of an empty impinger betwe
