Title: Analysis of nitrous oxide emissions from conventional combustion processes

Abstract

Since 1980 it has been recognized that N{sub 2}O plays important roles in stratospheric ozone depletion and global climate change. Even if the emission of N{sub 2}O is considered to be a potential environmental problem, most countries, Czech Republic included, has no legislative limits for N{sub 2}O emissions. VSB-Technical University, in cooperation with the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and TU Vienna (Austria), started research on N{sub 2}O emissions from stationary industrial sources. Non-continuous sampling technique which prevents positive errors caused by the N{sub 2}O formation in the container has been developed and the GC-ECD analytical technique used for N{sub 2}O detection. Sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide and moisture should be completely removed from the sample. For typical stationary sources in the Czech Republic, the concentrations of nitrous oxide have been measured.
