This article illuminates a kind of sensor used in measuring the concentrations of the main pollutants in flue gas streams
(Dust, SO2 and NOx) based on the UV-DOAS technology in air pollutant monitoring. Using the high-level embedded
microprocessors and complex programmable logic device, the sensor completes system measurement, management and
signal communication, and spectrum inversion and data saving are processed by PC at the same time. Differential optical
absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) technology is used in the flue gas pollutant factor analysis through the sensor
construction. The absorption spectra of SO2, NOx and smoke dust are inverted to reduce the interference of other factors
in flue gas streams. At the same time, the effect of light source fluctuation and optical transmission ratio is considered
and removed in the measurement system. The result shows that the monitoring accuracy of concentration of sulfur
dioxide and smoke dust achieves ±2%, the concentration of nitrogen oxides accuracy achieves ±3%, which meets the
requirements of the national standard. The sensor can be directly installed in a flue. As a result, process of measuring is
simplified and measurement accuracy is improved. Further more, this method increases the stability of the system and
reduces the maintenance costs. Measurement data is transferred through data bus between the sensor and upper PC to
realize remote control and real-time measurement. Considering the severe conditions in measuring the main pollutants in
flue gas streams, applications of anti-interference and anti-corrosion etc. are taken in the system design.
