Abstract

Gas measurement involves measuring the temp. of a semiconductor sensor element, the conductivity of resistance of which is influenced by the gas to be measured. The novelty is that the process involves influencing the temp. and/or conductivity or resistance and/or covering of the sensor with gas by chemical action and/or detecting these as measured dimension. A phthalocyanine sensor is used for analysis of NOx in air. Other suitable sensors consist of Cu or Pb phthalocyanine or another semiconductor, e.g. Sn02, on a substrate of Si or A1203.

Description

Es ist bekannt, daß beheizte Phthalocyaninschichten ihren Leitwert bei Anwesenheit von NOx verändern.It is known that heated phthalocyanine layers are their Change the conductivity in the presence of NOx.

In einigen Fällen ist es gewünscht, absolute Abwesenheit von NOx zu erzeugen. Dieses Ziel kann erreicht werden, indem dem Sensor ein Platin-Wendel vorgeschaltet wird. Am Übergangs­ metall wird NOx zerlegt und kann den Sensor nicht mehr beeinflussen.In some cases it is desirable to be absent from absolute To generate NOx. This goal can be achieved by Sensor is connected upstream of a platinum coil. At the transition metal is broken down into NOx and can no longer use the sensor influence.

Es ist bekannt, Phthalocyaninsensoren (PC-Sensoren) zum Nachweis von Halogenen (z. B. Cl2) oder von HKW (z. B. dem Narkosegas Halothan) zu verwenden.It is known to use phthalocyanine sensors (PC sensors) for the detection of halogens (e.g. Cl 2 ) or HKW (e.g. the anesthetic gas halothane).

Zur Aufspaltung von HKWs sind sehr hohe Temperaturen erfor­ derlich, z. B. 900°C.Very high temperatures are required to split HKWs derlich, z. B. 900 ° C.

Dabei nimmt der Leitwert eines 0,1 mm Pt-Drahtes in 100 Stunden um 40% ab und brennt schließlich durch.The conductance of a 0.1 mm Pt wire in 100 Hours by 40% and finally burns out.

Erfindungsgemäß wird daher vorgeschlagen, den Pt-Draht mit Oxiden nicht-edler Metalle zu beschichten.According to the invention, it is therefore proposed to use the Pt wire Coating oxides of non-noble metals.

TiO2 oder SnO2 verhindert wirkungsvoll die Adsorbtion von Halogenen auf der Pt-Oberfläche.TiO 2 or SnO 2 effectively prevents the adsorption of halogens on the Pt surface.

Die Beschichtung wird herausgestellt, indem man den Pt-Draht in eine Aufschlämmung von TiO2 taucht und dann tempert. Der Leitwert eines so beschichteten Wendels nimmt innerhalb von 100 Stunden um weniger als 3% ab. Eine Lebensdauer von < 1000 Stunden ist anzunehmen.The coating is highlighted by immersing the Pt wire in a slurry of TiO 2 and then annealing. The conductance of a coil coated in this way decreases by less than 3% within 100 hours. A lifespan of <1000 hours can be assumed.

Ebenfalls wird vorgeschlagen, Pt durch Bedampfen oder Sputtern mit Ti oder Sn zu beschichten. Beim Heizen in Luft entstehen TiO2 oder SnO2 durch Oxidation dann von allein.It is also proposed to coat Pt with Ti or Sn by vapor deposition or sputtering. When heated in air, TiO 2 or SnO 2 are then created by oxidation.

Werden solche als "Cracker" bezeichneten Wendel vor einem PC-Sensor angeordnet, werden bei bestimmten Temperaturen komplexe Verbindungen zerlegt, wobei die Reaktionsprodukte sich vom PC-Sensor nachweisen lassen. Are such a "cracker" spiral in front of one PC sensor are arranged at certain temperatures complex compounds disassembled, the reaction products can be verified by the PC sensor.  

Erfindungsgemäß wird vorgeschlagen, TiO2 oder SnO2 beschich­ tete Pt-Wendel PC-Sensoren vorzuschalten, um Halogene, halogenisierte Kohlenwasserstoffe, Perchlorethylen als auch verschiedene Herbizide, Insektizide als auch chemische Kampfstoffe nachweisen zu können.According to the invention it is proposed to connect TiO 2 or SnO 2 coated Pt coil PC sensors in order to be able to detect halogens, halogenated hydrocarbons, perchlorethylene and various herbicides, insecticides and chemical warfare agents.

Dem jeweiligen Zielgas ist eine spezifische Wendel-Tempera­ tur zuzuordnen.The respective target gas has a specific Wendel tempera assign.

Fig. 1 gibt den erfindungsgemäßen Gedanken im Prinzip wieder:
In einer Reaktionskammer (1) befindet sich eine Zuström­ öffnung (4) und eine Abströmöffnung (5). Die zugeführte Luft führt über einen beschichteten Pt-Wendel (2) zu dem PC- Sensor (3). FIG. 1 shows the inventive idea in principle again:
In a reaction chamber ( 1 ) there is an inflow opening ( 4 ) and an outflow opening ( 5 ). The supplied air leads to the PC sensor ( 3 ) via a coated Pt coil ( 2 ).
