This method utilizes the ultraviolet absorption of iodine complexes, and its purpose is to provide a method for measuring concentration that can be performed using relatively simple means. The present inventors have discovered that a complex formed from THT and iodine exhibits ultraviolet absorption at a wavelength of 300 to 315 nm, as shown in FIG. 1, and have completed the present invention.

This measurement method can be carried out using a general ultraviolet spectrophotometer, but in order to simplify the operation, a sample gas containing THT, an odorant, is introduced into a cell, etc. A THT-iodine complex is produced by absorbing it into an iodine solution prepared in advance, and UV light containing a specific wavelength, for example, 308 nm, is projected onto the complex solution from outside the cell, and the THT-iodine complex is absorbed by passing through the cell. The THT concentration is determined based on the ultraviolet absorbance. It has been found that by doing this, accurate concentration values can be obtained in an actual device in about 10 minutes.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of main parts showing one embodiment of the present invention. The cell 4 for THT absorption and photometry contains an iodine solution in advance, and a sample gas is introduced therein through a sample gas pump 7 and a ball filter 8. As shown in Figure 2, this iodine solution is suitable for measuring iodine concentration in the range of up to 20 μg/ml of THT in the solution, considering linearity.
It is necessary to keep it below 0.022%. Further, considering the sensitivity, it is desirable that the content be 0.01% or more, so it is desirable that the content be 0.01 to 0.02%. The amount of sample gas absorbed into the iodine solution is set to a constant amount, and the formation of a complex between THT and iodine is promoted using a stirring means or the like.
