Abstract

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an important heat-trapping gas, which leads to a rise in the earth's temperature causing climate changes with adverse effects. This climate change created the need for national and international programs to monitor the levels of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. The CO2 monitoring programs should be supported with traceability of the measurement results to the SI units to provide confidence in the monitoring results based on which, the right decisions for environmental treatment could be made. In this research paper, a primary CO2 in nitrogen gas mixture of concentration 199.42 mmol/mol has been gravimetrically prepared from pure CO2 and N2 in a 5L aluminum gas cylinder based on ISO 6142. From this mixture, five diluted gas mixture of mole fractions 9.998, 24.916, 49.828, 74.664 and 99.825 mmol/mol were prepared. The prepared gas mixtures were analyzed by GC-TCD according to ISO 6143 to verify their mol fractions and the obtained results were in good agreement with those obtained by the gravimetric preparations. These reference materials are very useful for the periodical calibration of CO2 monitors operated within the climate change monitoring programs and those used for car exhaust measurements. A multipoint calibration of two CO2 monitors using the prepared CO2 CRMs has been performed as an application and the monitors showed very good linear response with reasonable uncertainty.
