Abstract:
This study explored the toxic gas detection using a set of two spark-induced plasma emission spectroscopy (SIPS) modules as an alternative to conventional chemical sensors. This opens up a new possibility for detecting toxic molecules (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acetic acid, toluene, and ammonia) in real-time (<3 s) at relatively high sensitivity (<5 ppm). An optimized electrical controller (Raspberry Pi), manufactured as a compact and economical 3-channel optical measuring device, was developed for handling the high-resolution time-resolved electrical signals from the plasma emissions. Subsequently, the findings of this research elucidate the usability of the 3-channel SIPS device for quantitative monitoring of toxic gases.
