産業上の利用分野
本発明は、水溶液中の水素イオン濃度を測定す

更に詳しくは、高温度、高圧力条件下の水溶液
のPH値を測定する装置に関するものであつて、
水溶液中の水素イオン濃度測定用センサー、
各種工業用水の水質管理用のPH測定用及び
高温、高圧力条件下での直接測定用の水素イオン
濃度測定装置を提供するにある。
(従来の技術)
従来水溶液中の水素イオン濃度を測定するには
測定液中に指示電極として水素イオン選択性電極
と、比較電極を挿入して測定される。第1図には
従来の測定装置の概略を示す。
1は指示電極で水素イオンの選択性電極が用い

従来、水素イオン選択性電極としてはガラス電

ガラス電極の構造は周知の如く、水素イオン濃

水素イオン濃度を有す電解質内部溶液を充填し、
この内部電解質溶液と接する内部電極をもち、前
記ガラス膜の内、外面間には、外部の測定液中の
水素イオン活量濃度に応じて、ネルンストの式に
従う電位差を発生する。
このようなガラス電極は、その特性を良く発揮
させるため、ガラスの水素イオン感応膜を極めて
薄く、均質にかつ膜内部に欠陥や歪が生じないよ
う製作されている。
このガラス感応膜は、水溶液の液性状によつて
は浸蝕されたりして、感応膜としての電池出力が
低下する等の劣化を起してしまう欠点がある。
また、特に測定液が高温度条件では、ガラス膜
の劣化は更に促進され、かつ熱的衝撃にも耐え難
く実質的には、これの用いられる液温度は最大
110〜130℃である。
一方、比較電極2としては、一般にカロメル電
極或いは銀−塩化銀電極等が用いられている。
例えば銀−塩化銀電極は周知の如く、ガラス等
で作られた容器2a内に電解質塩溶液4を満し、
その中に塩化銀を被覆した銀よりなる内部電極3
を浸漬し、電気化学的半電池を形成し、かつ容器
2aの一部に所謂液絡部5をもつている。
この液絡部5を介して被測定液7と比較電極2
の内部電解質4とは、イオンの拡散、伝導が達成
されている。
(発明が解決しようとする課題)
以上の技術構成故に実際の測定に際しては次の
ような欠点を本質的に有している。
1 液絡部5を介して内部電解質4のイオンが測
定液中に漏出する。このため被測定液7が汚染
されたり、真のイオン濃度を測定することがで
きない場合が生ずる。
2 液絡部5よりの漏出により内部電解質液4が
減少したり濃度の変化が起つたりして、比較電
極としての本来の基準電位が変動してしまうこ
とがある。
3 又液絡部5が閉塞したりすることも発生し、
この場合には前述の電気導通が得られなくな
り、測定を困難にしてしまう。
4 液絡部5での円滑な電気伝導を得るには、内
部液4は少なくとも被測定液7よりも正圧条件
であることが必要である。
以上のような欠点に対して、極力漏出を少くす
るような工夫として液絡部の構造を微細化した
り、電解質をゲル状化したりして内部電解質の変
質や減耗を防止したり、内部液に加圧を行う装置
を配置したりという各種方法が用いられている。
しかしながら内部に比較電極としての電位を安定
させるため電解質を有し液絡部が形成されている
従来の技術では上記欠点を払拭できるものではな

温高圧条件下の場合、ここで用いることのできる

足されるものがないばかりか、PHの測定自体が極
めて困難なものである。
最近この技術に対して酸素イオン伝導性隔膜を
用いた新規な水素イオン濃度センサーが提案され
ている。
米国特許第4264424号明細書(特開昭56−77751
号公報)によれば、ガラス膜の代りに、特殊セラ
ミツクよりなる隔膜を用い、この隔膜の両面間に
発生する電位差を測定する方法が示されている
が、この特殊セラミツクの内部抵抗が極めて大き
いことに起因して、発生電位差が不安定であつて
測定の信頼性を欠くものの他、この測定を行うに
は、比較電極としてやはり従来の技術の液絡構造
をもつ電極が使用されている。このため、上述し
た如くの欠点が依然残つている。
本発明の目的は上述した従来の水素イオン濃度
測定技術のもつ欠点を克服する新規な水素イオン
濃度測定装置を提供するものである。
第1の目的は高温度の測定液を直接測定でき

第2の目的は高圧力の測定液を直接測定でき

第3の目的は比較電極として内部電解質をもた

第4の目的は所謂液絡構造をもたない。
第5の目的は極めてシンプルに設計でき、その
取扱いが簡便容易となる。

INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION FIELD The present invention relates to an apparatus for measuring hydrogen ion concentration in an aqueous solution. More specifically, it relates to a device for measuring the PH value of an aqueous solution under high temperature and high pressure conditions, such as a sensor for measuring hydrogen ion concentration in an aqueous solution, a sensor for measuring PH value for water quality control of various industrial waters, and a high temperature, The present invention provides a hydrogen ion concentration measuring device for direct measurement under high pressure conditions. (Prior Art) Conventionally, the hydrogen ion concentration in an aqueous solution is measured by inserting a hydrogen ion selective electrode as an indicator electrode and a comparison electrode into the measurement liquid. FIG. 1 shows an outline of a conventional measuring device. Reference numeral 1 denotes an indicator electrode, which is a hydrogen ion selective electrode. A reference electrode 2 houses an internal electrode 3 and an internal electrolyte 4, and has a liquid junction 5. 6
is a potentiometer. 7 is a measurement liquid. Conventionally, a glass electrode has been used as a hydrogen ion selective electrode. As is well known, the structure of the glass electrode has a glass sensitive membrane that is sensitive to hydrogen ion concentration, and is filled with an electrolyte internal solution having a known hydrogen ion concentration.
It has an internal electrode in contact with this internal electrolyte solution, and generates a potential difference between the inner and outer surfaces of the glass membrane according to the Nernst equation depending on the hydrogen ion activity concentration in the external measurement liquid. In order to make good use of the characteristics of such a glass electrode, the glass hydrogen ion sensitive membrane is manufactured to be extremely thin and homogeneous, and without any defects or distortions inside the membrane. This glass sensitive membrane has the disadvantage that it may be eroded depending on the liquid properties of the aqueous solution, resulting in deterioration such as a decrease in the battery output as a sensitive membrane. In addition, especially when the temperature of the measurement liquid is high, the deterioration of the glass membrane is further accelerated and it is difficult to withstand thermal shock.
The temperature is 110-130℃. On the other hand, as the comparison electrode 2, a calomel electrode, a silver-silver chloride electrode, or the like is generally used. For example, as is well known, the silver-silver chloride electrode is made by filling a container 2a made of glass or the like with an electrolyte salt solution 4,
Internal electrode 3 made of silver coated with silver chloride
is immersed to form an electrochemical half cell, and has a so-called liquid junction 5 in a part of the container 2a. The liquid to be measured 7 and the reference electrode 2 are connected to each other via this liquid junction 5.
The internal electrolyte 4 achieves ion diffusion and conduction. (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Due to the above-mentioned technical configuration, there are essentially the following drawbacks in actual measurement. 1 Ions of the internal electrolyte 4 leak into the measurement liquid via the liquid junction 5. For this reason, the liquid to be measured 7 may be contaminated or the true ion concentration may not be measured. 2. The internal electrolyte 4 may decrease or its concentration may change due to leakage from the liquid junction 5, which may cause the original reference potential of the reference electrode to fluctuate. 3. Also, the liquid junction 5 may become clogged,
In this case, the electrical continuity described above cannot be obtained, making measurement difficult. 4. In order to obtain smooth electrical conduction at the liquid junction 5, it is necessary that the internal liquid 4 is at least under a more positive pressure condition than the liquid to be measured 7. To address the above-mentioned drawbacks, we have tried to reduce leakage as much as possible by making the structure of the liquid junction finer, making the electrolyte gel-like, and preventing deterioration and depletion of the internal electrolyte. Various methods are used, such as arranging a device that applies pressure.
However, the above-mentioned drawbacks cannot be eliminated with the conventional technology in which a liquid junction is formed with an electrolyte in order to stabilize the potential as a comparison electrode. As explained above, in conventional measurement methods and techniques, when the measuring liquid is under high temperature and high pressure conditions such as primary cooling water of reactor water in nuclear power plants, boiler water, and chemical plants, it is difficult to use it here. The reference electrodes that can be used are not only unsatisfactory due to problems especially at the liquid junction, but also make the PH measurement itself extremely difficult. Recently, a new hydrogen ion concentration sensor using an oxygen ion conductive diaphragm has been proposed for this technology. U.S. Patent No. 4264424 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 56-77751
According to the publication, a method is proposed in which a diaphragm made of a special ceramic is used instead of a glass membrane and the potential difference generated between the two sides of the diaphragm is measured, but the internal resistance of this special ceramic is extremely large. Due to this, the generated potential difference is unstable and the measurement is unreliable, and in order to carry out this measurement, a conventional electrode having a liquid junction structure is also used as a reference electrode. Therefore, the above-mentioned drawbacks still remain. An object of the present invention is to provide a new hydrogen ion concentration measuring device that overcomes the drawbacks of the conventional hydrogen ion concentration measuring techniques described above. The first purpose is to be able to directly measure high-temperature measurement liquids. The second purpose is to be able to directly measure high-pressure measurement liquids. The third purpose is to have no internal electrolyte as a reference electrode. The fourth purpose is not to have a so-called liquid junction structure. The fifth purpose is that it can be designed extremely simply and its handling is simple and easy. (Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides an indicator electrode for hydrogen ion concentration measurement having a terminal connected to one electrode terminal of a measuring device, and a metal electrode having a terminal connected to the other electrode terminal. In a device that measures hydrogen ion concentration in an aqueous solution by directly immersing the body in an aqueous solution and measuring the potential difference generated between both terminals with the above measuring device, the indicator electrode for hydrogen ion concentration measurement is open at one end and the other is open. A container having a closed end and an internal electrode and an internal electrolyte inside the container, the closed end being formed of at least an oxygen ion conductive solid electrolyte,
and a hydrogen ion concentration measuring device characterized in that the surface of the other metal electrode body that comes into contact with the aqueous solution is coated with one selected from silver, a silver alloy, or an oxide of silver or a silver alloy. . The oxygen ion conductive solid electrolyte used in the present invention is preferably stabilized zirconia. This stabilized zirconia is approximately
Operates from 150℃. This operating temperature can be further lowered by means such as increasing the purity of the stabilized zirconia. Typical stabilized zirconia operating temperature is 600℃
However, as a hydrogen ion concentration meter, it operates at a lower temperature. When used as a hydrogen ion concentration meter in an aqueous solution, H 2 OH + +OH - ......(1) OH - H + +O -- ......(2) O -- ion in formula (2) While the amount is directly measured, in a general gas, it is necessary to ionize O 2 +4e - →2O -- into O -- using a catalyst installed in stabilized zirconia, and this energy difference causes the two to ionize. The inventor estimates that there is a difference between the two. Metal electrode bodies are silver, silver alloys, silver or silver alloys coated with their oxides, or metal base metals such as aluminum, nickel, copper, iron, etc., coated with silver or silver alloys by plating or lamination. Alternatively, an oxide of silver or a silver alloy may be coated on the outside thereof. Further, the metal electrode body may be one in which at least a part of the liquid immersion part is covered with an insulator, and the base thereof is attached to the insulator and serves as a mounting member for the measuring device. The configuration of the present invention will be explained in more detail. FIG. 2 shows a configuration of the present invention that allows measurement under high temperature and high pressure conditions and prevents ionic electrolyte from leaking into the measurement liquid. In Fig. 2, 10 is an indicator electrode, 20 is a metal electrode body, and both are the measuring liquid 15.
immersed in (contact with) This indicator electrode 10 has a hollow body structure with one end closed and has a hydrogen ion sensitive membrane 10A made of a solid electrolyte. Stabilized zirconia is preferred as this solid electrolyte. The inside of this hollow body is filled with an internal electrode 11 and an internal electrolyte 12. The internal electrodes 11 are often made of silver coated with silver chloride, but other metals may also be used. For the internal electrolyte 12, a salt solution such as a potassium chloride solution is used, for example. Solid electrolytes made of mixtures of metals and metal oxides are also used. The indicator electrode 10 configured in this manner has a terminal 13 for taking out an electric signal. This terminal 1
3 is electrically connected to the internal electrode 11. Further, it is desirable that the open end of this hollow body is sealed and sealed between the inside and the outside by adhesive or other means. The metal electrode body 20 is selected from silver, a silver alloy, or a metal whose surface is coated with an oxide of silver and a silver alloy. This metal electrode body 20 has a part (or all) of its surface exposed, and has an insulating coating part 21 and an insulating part 22. The insulating portion 22 may also constitute a mounting member that can be attached to the measurement container 16. Furthermore, it has a terminal 23 for taking out an electric signal, and this terminal 23 is electrically connected to the metal electrode body 20. The potential difference generated between the indicator electrode 10 and the metal electrode body 20 is measured by a voltmeter 26 via an amplifier 25 connected to one terminal 13 and the other terminal 23. Since the indicator electrode 10 has a large internal resistance, the amplifier 25 has a high input resistance and is connected to the terminals 13 and 2 to prevent electromagnetic noise from entering.
The lead wires from 3 are shielded 14, 24. The hollow body constituting the indicator electrode 10 is made of stabilized zirconia porcelain, the internal electrolyte 12 is made of potassium chloride solution, the internal electrode 11 is made of silver coated with silver chloride (AgCl), and the metal electrode body 20 is made of silver. The operating mechanism when the constructed indicator electrode 10 and metal electrode body 20 of the present invention are immersed in an aqueous solution as a measurement liquid will be described below. An electrochemical unipolar potential is generated at the internal electrode 11 in contact with the internal electrolyte 12. On the inner and outer surfaces of the sensitive membrane portion 10A of the indicator electrode 10, an electrochemical potential is generated at the respective membrane interfaces. This generation potential is determined by the equilibrium of ionic species at each interface. The potential on the inner surface of the membrane 10A becomes constant when the hydrogen ion concentration of the internal electrolyte is determined. The potential on the outer surface of the membrane 10A is determined by the fact that the activity concentration of the ionic species in the measurement liquid 15 is balanced on this membrane surface. A potential according to the Nernst equation is generated depending on the activity concentration. Generally, since the activity concentration of hydrogen ions in a dilute aqueous solution is proportional to the hydrogen ion concentration, there is a potential difference between the inner and outer surfaces of the sensitive membrane 10A according to the Nernst equation, which is proportional to the logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration in the measurement solution. Occur. Further, a half cell corresponding to the activity of the ionic species in the aqueous solution is formed on the surface of the metal electrode 20 placed near the sensitive membrane 10A, and a unipolar potential is generated in this electrode 20. Therefore, the device configured in this manner can be viewed as a single battery as a whole. In this case, if the unipolar potential created by the metal electrode body 20 is not affected by the concentration of hydrogen ions in the measurement liquid, the potential difference measured by the device of the present invention will be proportional to the logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration in the measurement liquid. It is. The present invention has developed a metal electrode body that is not easily affected by the hydrogen ion concentration in an aqueous solution and generates a stable potential. In this case, the metal electrode body is a metal whose surface is coated with silver, a silver alloy, or an oxide of silver and a silver alloy, or a metal base metal such as copper, aluminum, nickel, or iron plated or coated with silver or a silver alloy. The metal body is raised. Examples of effective reference electrodes include silver, alloys of silver and copper, alloys of silver and nickel, oxides of silver, and oxides of silver and copper. Representative examples of these include silver and alloys of silver and copper. It is preferable. When the indicator electrode and metal electrode body according to the present invention described above are used with appropriate fittings attached, the measuring device of the present invention is different from the prior art in that the internal electrolyte of the reference electrode does not leak into the measuring liquid. Does not have a liquid junction structure. The liquid in contact with it is made of a physically stable solid. A strikingly new hydrogen ion concentration measuring device can be provided. Note that among the reference numerals in FIG. 3, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 2 indicate the same or similar components. (Example) Specific examples of the present invention will be described below. Example 1 In the configuration of the present invention shown in FIG. 2, reference numeral 10 is an indicator electrode, which is a cylindrical electrode having a structure in which one end is closed with stabilized zirconia doped with 8.5 moles of ittria and the other end is open. It is ceramic. The outer diameter is 8 mmφ, the inner diameter is 6 mmφ, the length is 150 mm, and the wall thickness at the closed end is 4.5 mm. 20 is a metal electrode body, which is a silver wire with a thickness of 1 mmφ, about 20 mm of which is exposed, and the rest is coated with ceramic. An internal electrolyte 12 and an internal electrode 11 are housed inside the indicator electrode 10 . Internal electrolyte 12 is a 3 mol/KCl aqueous solution,
The internal electrode 11 is a silver wire coated with AgCl and having a thickness of 1 mmφ. FIG. 3 shows the configuration of an experimental device for confirming the performance of the measuring device of the present invention. In Fig. 3, the test tank 30 is made of SUS and has an internal volume of about 1.8.
Approximately 1.3 ml of pure water is contained as the measurement liquid 15. This test chamber 30 includes an indicator electrode 10 and a metal electrode body 2.
The electrode terminals of both electrodes 10 and 20 are connected to an amplifier 25 having a high input resistance by a coaxial cable coated with Teflon. , amplifier 25
The output was measured using a pen recorder. Since the indicator electrode 10 generally has a high internal resistance, the amplifier 2
5 has a high input resistance circuit, and the indicator electrode 10
A shield 3 is attached to the lead wire connecting the amplifier 25 and the amplifier 25.
7 has been applied. Also, the metal electrode body 20 and the amplifier 25
The lead wires connecting these are also covered with a shield 24 for the purpose of preventing electromagnetic induction noise from entering. The chemical tanks 40, 41, and 42 are used to change the ion concentration in the aqueous solution of the measurement liquid. For example, the chemical tank 40 contains an acidic aqueous solution, the chemical tank 41 contains a neutral solution, and the chemical tank 42
contains a predetermined chemical solution called alkaline aqueous solution, 39 is a switching branch part, 38 is a chemical solution introduction part,
By operating the switching branch 39, any chemical solution can be introduced into the measurement liquid. Furthermore, it has the following functions and equipment to perform measurements under high temperature and high pressure conditions. 43 is a heating section, 44
45 is a thermometer, and 45 is a heating device that heats and controls the temperature of the liquid to be measured, and a chemical liquid introduction part 38.
A pressurizing device 47 capable of pressurized liquid feeding is arranged at
A pressure gauge 46 is attached to detect the internal pressure of the test chamber 30. Since the test tank 30 constitutes a pressurized container,
The members attached to this (indicator electrode 10, metal electrode body 20, pressure gauge 46, thermometer 44, and chemical liquid introduction part 38) are firmly attached with a sealing function that can sufficiently withstand these pressures at the attachment interface. has been done. In the experiment, an appropriate amount of acid or alkaline solution from chemical tanks 40, 41, and 42 was poured into the measuring liquid.
Figure 4 shows the results of measuring and recording the potential difference generated between both electrodes when the PH value was changed. Here, the water temperature was controlled at 95°C. The potential difference at this time was +95 mV. Next, an acid solution is added to this measurement solution to determine the pH of the measurement solution.
When the value becomes 2.4, the generated potential difference between both electrodes shows +340mV, and when the pH value of the measurement solution becomes 11.8 after adding an alkaline solution, the potential difference is -
It showed 163mV, and the acid solution was added again to dilute the measurement solution.
The potential difference when the PH value reached 2.3 was +344 mV. In addition, a stable potential difference was obtained, reaching the saturation value in a short period of time with respect to pH changes in the measurement solution. Example 2 In the configuration described in Example 1, a measurement system with the same configuration as above was assembled using a 1 mm diameter silver:copper=9:1 silver alloy as the metal electrode body to change the PH value of the measurement liquid. The potential difference generated between the two electrodes was measured. The results are shown in Table 1.

In a comparative experiment using platinum as a metal electrode body, the PH value of the measurement solution was changed from pure water to
When changing the pH sequentially from PH2.2 (acidic) to PH11.9 (alkaline) to PH2.1 (acidic), the potential difference generated shows a sudden change at the time of the PH change, as shown in Figure 6, but the value remains stable. It formed a steep curve that gradually changed without any change, and moreover, it did not show a stable potential difference corresponding to the PH value of the measured solution. From the above, it is shown that by directly immersing a metal electrode made of a certain metal in an aqueous solution, the PH value of the aqueous solution can be measured, and the hydrogen ion concentration in the aqueous solution can also be measured. Comparative Experiment Example 2 Heating the indicator electrode and metal electrode explained in the example,

According to the device of the present invention, both the indicator electrode and the metal electrode are made of stable ceramic and metal solid materials, and the structure is simple as described above, so it is possible to measure the hydrogen ion concentration in an aqueous solution. When applied to PH measurement, it has extremely excellent features and effects as described below. (1) It does not have an internal electrolyte as a reference electrode, and therefore does not have a liquid junction. (2) Since the measurement solution is not contaminated, the original hydrogen ion concentration of the measurement solution can be measured. (3) Can be used in high temperature liquids. (4) Can be used in liquids under high pressure conditions. (5) It can be designed to be extremely compact and its handling is simple and easy. (6) Eliminate essential defects in the liquid junction. (7) When characteristics change during use, the characteristics can be easily restored by polishing or cleaning the metal electrode surface, and the lifespan can be improved. As explained above, the hydrogen ion concentration measuring device of the present invention can be used as a sensor for measuring hydrogen ion concentration in an aqueous solution, a PH measurement for water quality management of various industrial waters, a high temperature sensor,
It can be used for direct measurement of hydrogen ion concentration in aqueous solutions under high pressure conditions, and is industrially useful.
