Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent deterioration in a proton conductor, by providing a filter having a basic gas absorbent as effective component to remove a basic gas such as ammonia. CONSTITUTION:In an atmosphere detector using a proton conductor atmosphere sensor, a filter 14 having a basic gas absorbent as effective component is provided. Any filter may be used if it can absorb a basic gas such as ammonia but preferably is the one with a higher ammonium absorption activity by modifying an activated charcoal and an acid salt such as cupric sulfate. This can prevent deterioration by a basic gas such as ammonia thereby enabling the reliability of an atmosphere detector using a proton conductor.

[Prior Art] A proton conductor can be used as a sensor for hydrogen, carbon monoxide, etc., or as a sensor for humidity. As a sensor for hydrogen or carbon monoxide, it is possible to make use of the inherent properties of proton conductors and perform detection from their electromotive force (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-7358). The problem in this case is that the electromotive force is proportional to the logarithm of the gas concentration, and the inventors have developed two techniques to obtain an output that is directly proportional to the gas concentration. The first one involves connecting a pair of electrodes to a conductor and shorting these electrodes, and connecting another pair of electrodes to the conductor. Measure the internal electromotive force of the conductor. Short circuit current is proportional to gas concentration, but is affected by humidity. On the other hand, the circular electromotive force is proportional to the gas concentration and is hardly affected by humidity (Japanese Patent Application No. 15, 1988, 222). In the second one, the internal resistance of the conductor is measured and the product of the internal resistance and the short circuit current is taken as an output. The humidity dependence of the short-circuit current and the humidity dependence of the internal resistance are almost equal in opposite directions, and by using the product of these, it is possible to obtain an output that is proportional to the gas concentration and is less affected by humidity. .223).

By the way, the inventors have discovered that proton conductors are degraded by ammonia, hydrazine, and various amines such as methylamine and propylamine. All of these compounds are amino compounds with salt J118 properties, and have low boiling points and easily vaporize. Proton conductors generally contain protons as a gear.

Here, when the conductor comes into contact with a basic gas such as ammonia, ammonia and phosphorus react to form an ammonium salt. The produced ammonium salt is stable and will not be desorbed or decomposed unless heat treated at about 400°C. Therefore, the electromotive force and internal resistance of the proton conductor change depending on the basic gas.

The basic gas absorbent may be anything that can remove gas such as ammonia, an adsorbent may be used, or an acidic substance may be used by utilizing an acid-base reaction. Next, the second problem is that when detecting humidity, it is necessary to avoid changes in the water vapor partial pressure caused by the absorbent. For this reason, aqueous solutions and deliquescent substances are not preferred. On the other hand, in the case of gas detection, these limitations do not apply, and aqueous solutions such as dilute sulfuric acid and deliquescent substances such as phosphorus pentoxide can also be used. One of the preferred absorbents is activated carbon. However, since the ammonia adsorption activity of activated carbon is not high, it is better to perform one of the four types of modification. For example, when activated carbon is partially oxidized in a liquid phase, etc., the polarity of the activated carbon increases due to the formation of hydroxyl groups, acedel groups, aldehyde groups, etc. on the surface, and the adsorption activity of ammonia etc. can be dramatically increased. Next, the activated carbon may be partially sulfonated by treating it with concentrated sulfuric acid or the like. Further, an acidic substance such as copper sulfate/CllSO4/5H20 or cobalt sulfate CO3O4/nHzo may be added to the activated carbon. In these cases, the adsorption activity for basic gases is significantly improved due to the synergistic effect of the adsorption action of activated carbon and acidic substances such as sulfonic acid and copper sulfate. The adsorbed gas reacts with the acid and becomes fixed, and does not desorb from the activated carbon.

An acidic substance such as 4.2H20 may also be used. These are non-deliquescent acid salts and do not interfere with humidity detection. These materials may be used alone, or may be supported on paper, porous plastic, porous ceramics, or the like. Of course, these acid salts may be supported on activated carbon. Although the composition of typical hydrates of acid salts has been shown here, the composition is not limited to this, as Eiwa appetizers vary in various ways.

In the case of gas detection, there are no restrictions on hygroscopicity or deliquescent properties, so hygroscopic adsorbents such as glue gel and γ-alumina, more preferably those with acidic substances added, dilute sulfuric acid or dilute phosphoric acid, are used. Further, deliquescent solid acidic substances such as phosphorus pentoxide, potassium dihydrogen phosphate/K-H3PO, etc. can also be used.

FIG. 3 shows how the resistance of antimony phosphate increases due to 300 ppm of ammonia. The contact time with ammonia was 1 hour, and the characteristics were shown for 4 hours after contact. Also, the sensor temperature was 150°C, and the results are the average of 5 sensors. Based on the resistance value in water vapor of 10 Torr before contact, the resistance value increases about twice in the case where the filter (14) is not provided. Using untreated activated carbon as is can also suppress the increase in resistance, but the effect is small. On the other hand, when sulfonated activated carbon or copper sulfate is added to polyurethane, the resistance value hardly changes.

In the case without a filter, the resistance value is 3 due to ammonia.
Although it increases by about twice as much, this change can be prevented by using a filter. Similarly, activated carbon treated with sulfonation, acid salts, etc. are preferable to plain activated carbon.

FIG. 6 shows the resistance change of antimonic acid to ammonia at 105°C. The measurement conditions are the same as in Figure 3.
The resistance value in water vapor of 10 Torr before treatment is approximately 100
It was Ω. It is the same that the resistance increases due to contact with ammonia, and that the influence of ammonia is removed using a filter such as activated carbon. However, its sensitivity to humidity is lower than that of antimony phosphate and silica phosphate. This is not because antimonic acid has low moisture sensitivity, but rather because antimony phosphate and phosphoric silica have extremely high moisture sensitivity.

(Gas Detection Device) FIG. 7 shows a detection device for hydrogen, carbon monoxide, etc. In the figure, (+02) is a gas sensor using a conductor, (4) is a proton conductor such as antimonic acid, (
+12) is a housing, and (114) is a sole for restricting air permeability made of epoxy resin. N'rud (+14
) is for suppressing the diffusion of hydrogen, etc. and creating a difference in gas concentration between the electrodes (6) and (8), and can limit air permeability regardless of whether it is dense or porous. For example, any one can be used.

The structure of the sensor (+02) is not limited to this.
Other known methods or methods that connect another electrode to the conductor (4) and measure the internal electromotive force may also be used. The problem of high resistance to basic gases is not due to the structure of the sensor, but is a general problem with proton conductors.

If you short-circuit them with a low-impedance load and measure the current between them, you will get an output that is proportional to the gas concentration. Furthermore, when the electromotive force between the electrodes (6) and (8) is measured, an output proportional to the logarithm of the gas concentration can be obtained.

Upon contact with ammonia, the internal resistance of antimonic acid increases and the short circuit current decreases. On the other hand, although a considerable effect can be obtained even with simple activated carbon in I2, the influence of ammonia can be sufficiently removed by using sulfonated activated carbon.
