Abstract
A zirconia oxygen sensor was designed to monitor the gas-solid oxidation reaction characteristics of metal/metal-oxide powder beds. This in-situ monitoring device allows for determination of the oxidation state of the metal oxides during reactions in real time, as well as calculation of the chemical reaction rate constants. The signal output of the sensor was analyzed for oxidation of and diffusion of oxygen into the powder bed. The oxygen transport mechanisms occurring inside the sensor were described to further understand the signal outputs from the powder bed. A model metal/metal-oxide system is examined using this device to demonstrate its performance. The simple Ni/NiO system was chosen to demonstrate feasibility.
