Abstract

A conductance cell is proposed as a sensitive means of detecting and determining phosphine in air at the part-per-million level. The contaminated air is passed through mercuric chloride solution in the cell, where reaction occurs between the phosphine and the mercuric chloride, liberating hydrogen chloride. This causes a rise in conductance proportional to the amount of hydrogen chloride, and hence to the amount of phosphine.
