چکیده

The application of an innovative spectroscopic balancing technique to measure the isotope 18O/16O ratio in water vapor is reported. Quartz enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy has been employed as the absorption sensing technique. Two isotope absorption lines with the same quantum numbers, with very close lower energy levels, have been selected to limit the sensitivity to temperature variations and guarantee identical broadening as well as relaxation properties. The sensitivity in measuring the deviation from a standard sample δ18O is 1.4‰, in 200 sec of integration time.

Stable isotope ratio measurements on highly enriched water samples by means of laser spectrometry.

We demonstrate the feasibility of using laser spectrometry (LS) to analyze isotopically highly enriched water samples (i.e., delta2H < or = 15,000/1,000, 18O < or = 1,200/1,000), as often used in the biomedical doubly labeled water (DLW) method to quantify energy metabolism. The method is an important extension of a recently developed infrared laser direct absorption spectrometer. The measureme...

Measurement of the D/H, 18O/16O, and 17O/16O Isotope Ratios in Water by Laser Absorption Spectroscopy at 2.73 μm

A compact isotope ratio laser spectrometry (IRLS) instrument was developed for simultaneous measurements of the D/H, 18O/16O and 17O/16O isotope ratios in water by laser absorption spectroscopy at 2.73 μm. Special attention is paid to the spectral data processing and implementation of a Kalman adaptive filtering to improve the measurement precision. Reduction of up to 3-fold in standard deviati...

Measurement of the oxygen isotopic composition of nitrate in seawater and freshwater using the denitrifier method.

We report a novel method for measurement of the oxygen isotopic composition (18O/16O) of nitrate (NO3-) from both seawater and freshwater. The denitrifier method, based on the isotope ratio analysis of nitrous oxide generated from sample nitrate by cultured denitrifying bacteria, has been described elsewhere for its use in nitrogen isotope ratio (15N/14N) analysis of nitrate. (1) Here, we addre...

Modelling the budget of middle atmospheric water vapour isotopes

A one-dimensional chemistry model is applied to study the stable hydrogen (D) and stable oxygen isotope (17O, 18O) composition of water vapour in stratosphere and mesosphere. In the troposphere, this isotope composition is determined by “physical” fractionation effects, that are phase changes (e.g. during cloud formation), diffusion processes (e.g. during evaporation from the ocean), and mixing...

Isotope analysis of water by means of near infrared dual-wavelength diode laser spectroscopy.

A novel diode laser spectrometer was developed using dualwavelength multiplexing, ensuring ideal conditions for high-precision and simultaneous measurements of the 2H/1H, 17O/16O, and 18O/16O isotope ratios in water. A 1.4-m diode laser probed a H16OH / HO2H line pair near 7198 cm-1, while a similar laser observed H16OH, H17OH, and H18OH rovibrational lines around 7183 cm-1, or a H16OH / H18OH ...
