Abstract

A chemiluminescence(CL)-based gas sensor made of γ-Al 2O 3 emits CL during catalytic oxidation of a combustible odor vapor. The CL intensity is proportional to the concentration of ethanol or acetone vapor in air. The algebraic sum rule is applicable to the CL intensities by the mixed gas of these two kinds of vapors, when the sensor is heated above 450°C. The CL intensities are measured in periodic temperature cycles between 650 and 450°C. The concentrations of vapor components can be detected analytically by measuring total CL intensities during the high and low temperatures for air containing mixed vapors of various concentrations of ethanol below 400 ppm and acetone below 200 ppm.
