The device comprises an extractor (53) having an outlet (71) at which a gas stream is sampled. The gas stream contains at least one hydrocarbon to be analyzed and at least one interfering compound. A transport line (54), is connected to the outlet (71) of the extractor (53) to transport the gas stream to an analyzer (55A) comprising a detector being able to measure at least one of the hydrocarbons to be analyzed contained in this gas stream. The device comprises a chemical reactor (141) located between the extractor (53) and the detector. At least a portion of the extracted gases is transported through the chemical reactor (141) where a selective catalytic reaction of at least one interfering compound is carried out without any substantial reaction of at least one of the hydrocarbons to be analyzed.

Provided is an online detection method of gaseous alkali metal concentration in boiler burning flame. The method includes selecting the user characteristic spectral line to be measured; based on the characteristic spectral line of the alkali metal, constructing a fitting model between radiation strength of the characteristic spectral line of the alkali metal in the burning flame and the gaseous alkali metal concentration and flame temperature; calibrating the spectrograph under absolute radiation strength; measuring a flame object corresponding to an alkali metal concentration by the calibrated spectrograph to obtain the radiation strength and flame temperature of the characteristic spectral line of the alkali metal. The detection method can detect the concentration of the gaseous alkali metal in the burning flame of the detection furnace quickly and accurately as well as detect the content of the base metals, involves simple devices, low cost, and is suitable for field measurement.

A system includes a first aerosolization device (e.g., a nebulizer and a spray chamber/desolvation device in fluid communication with the nebulizer) configured to furnish a first aerosol, and a second aerosolization device (e.g., a second nebulizer and a second spray chamber/desolvation device in fluid communication with the second nebulizer) configured to furnish a second aerosol. The first aerosolization device is balanced with the second aerosolization device. The system also includes an output coupled with the first aerosolization device and the second aerosolization device. The output is configured to supply at least one of the first aerosol or the second aerosol (e.g., to a torch). The system further includes a selection device coupling the first aerosolization device and the second aerosolization device to the output. The selection device is configured to selectively provide at least one of the first aerosol or the second aerosol to the output.
