Abstract

The optical carbon dioxide sensor is prepared by covering a pH sensor based on fluorescence with a CO 2-permeable membrane and contacting the pH-sensitive membrane with a reservoir of hydrogen carbonate. As carbon dioxide diffuses across the membrane it causes a chnage in pH which is detected by measuring the change in fluorescence from the base form of the pH-sensitive fluorescentdye. The usable range of response depends on the concentration of hydrogen carbonate in contact with the membrane. The sensor also responds to sulfide and sulfite.
