Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a long-life polarograph type oxygen densitometer by using a highly active metal for electrolytically reducing O2 as cathode and Pb or Cd as anode while a mixed aqueous solution of organic acid and an alkali metal salt thereof is employed as electrolytic solution. CONSTITUTION:A highly active metal such as Pt for electrolytically reducing O2 is used as cathode 1 and Pb of Cd as anode 2. An aqueous solution of organic acids such as acetic acid, propionic acid and n butyric acid with a large dissolubility for water and an alkaline metal salt of these organic acids for a larger electric conductivity is provided as electrolytic solution 3. A membrane 4 comprising ethylene tetrafluoridebutylene hexafluoride copolymer or the like is fixed on a holder 6 made of polyvinylchloride or the like using an O ring 5 to form a polarograph type oxygen densitometer. As PbO and Cd<2+> generated by an anode reaction are dissolved by organic acid, the surface of the anode 2 is renewed ceaselessly to stabilize the potential. This also provides a long-life densitometer free from interference by CO2 gas as the electrolytic solution 3 is acid.

***It takes advantage of the fact that it is proportional to i. Conventionally, gold, platinum, etc. have been used as the cathode, silver has been used as the anode, and an aqueous solution of potassium chloride has been used as the electrolyte. In this case, the cathode reaction becomes 02 + 2H20+4e-→40H--(1), and the anodic reaction becomes 4Aa+ 4CI--> 4AoC1+4e--(

The present invention uses lead or cadmium as the anode and an acidic mixed aqueous solution of an organic acid and an alnochloride metal salt of the organic acid as the electrolyte, thereby eliminating the influence of carbon dioxide gas and having a low internal resistance. The present invention provides a polarographic oxygen concentration meter with a long life. That is,
In the oxygen concentration meter according to the present invention, the cathode reaction is Q2 + 4@++4e-→2H20-(5),
The anode reaction is 2Pb+ 2H20-> 2PbO+ 41-1++4

) PIIO (lead oxide) produced by the equation (7) dissolves in the right m acid of the electrolyte, and also CA (cadmium) by the equation (7).
The reaction product becomes an organic acid salt of cadmium and dissolves in the electrolyte. Therefore, the anode surface is constantly renewed and the anode potential becomes more stable. The life of this type of oxygen concentration meter is determined by the degree of solubility of the electrolyte in the anode reaction product, and organic acids generally exhibit a high solubility.
