Tips: How does an SO2 monitor work?

• Electrochemical Sensor: The heart of most SO2 monitors is an electrochemical sensor. This sensor is a small, compact device with three main components: a working electrode, a reference electrode, and an electrolyte.
• Gas Diffusion: Air containing sulfur dioxide is drawn into the monitor. The gas molecules diffuse through a gas-permeable membrane or filter that allows only SO2 to pass through.
• Electrochemical Reaction: Inside the sensor, when SO2 molecules come into contact with the working electrode, a chemical reaction occurs. The SO2 gas is oxidized at the working electrode, producing sulfate ions (SO4^2-) in the process. This reaction is specific to SO2 and doesn't respond to other gases.
• Electrolyte Conductivity: As the oxidation reaction takes place, the concentration of sulfate ions in the electrolyte changes. This alters the electrical conductivity of the electrolyte in a way that is directly proportional to the concentration of SO2 in the sampled air.
• Measuring Conductivity: The change in conductivity is measured as an electrical current by the monitor's electronics. The current is directly related to the concentration of SO2 in the air.
• Conversion to ppm: The monitor's internal circuitry converts the measured electrical current into a concentration reading in parts per million (ppm). This ppm reading is then displayed on the monitor's screen.
• Calibration and Compensation: To ensure accuracy, SO2 monitors are typically calibrated to known standards of SO2 concentration. Some monitors also have mechanisms to compensate for environmental factors like temperature and humidity that can affect sensor performance.
• Data Output and Alarms: SO2 monitors often have data output options, such as analog or digital signals, for integration with control systems or data logging. They may also have alarms that can be triggered if the SO2 concentration exceeds a predefined threshold.
