2. Description of the Related Art In the detection of carbon monoxide gas (CO) as a gas to be detected in a gas detection device provided with a gas sensing portion mainly containing an indium oxide semiconductor as a metal oxide semiconductor, For CO detection, Ru, Au, Pt, Pd, and CO gas sensitizers were added to indium oxide.
What added a noble metal, such as Rh and Ag, is known.
In these gas detectors, the sensitivity to CO gas is 150 ° C. or lower, and is high at low temperatures up to room temperature, and the sensitivity to interfering gases such as hydrogen gas (H 2 ) and ethanol is low at 100 ° C. or lower. Therefore, in order to obtain the selectivity of the CO gas, the CO gas is used with the detection temperature of the CO gas at about room temperature. However, when the element temperature is 100 ° C.
At low temperatures, the adsorbed CO gas is difficult to desorb, so the element temperature must be raised once to desorb,
Purging for that was necessary (Japanese Patent Publication No. 53-433).
No. 20, JP-B-58-30535). On the other hand, tin oxide is used as a sensor for detecting CO gas at a higher temperature (250 ° C. or higher), which can operate at higher temperatures.
It is known that a precious metal such as t, Au, Pd or the like is added in a smaller amount (0.045% by weight or less) than the above-mentioned sensor (Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-17884). In this gas detection device, the peak of the CO gas sensitivity rises to about 250 ° C., and the CO gas is detected in a temperature range slightly lower than this temperature (this is a carbon monoxide gas detection temperature). In such a gas detection device, in a relatively high temperature of CO gas detection temperature,
With a fast response speed, hydrogen gas, methane (C
H 4 ) Furthermore, CO gas can be detected with a selectivity for hydrocarbons such as isobutane (iC 4 H 10 ).

An operation of alternately switching and setting the O detection temperature (normal temperature) and the purge temperature for the purge process higher than the detected temperature is performed, the CO gas is detected at the CO detection temperature, and the CO is desorbed at the purge temperature. In some cases, methane (CH 4 ) is detected while purging is performed.
