Abstract
The response mechanism of ethanol for the TGS812 and TGS824 tin-oxide semiconductor gas sensors in a portable flow-through arrangement follows a linearized Langmuir model with correlation coefficients of 0.9992 and 0.9978, respectively. The portable battery-powered gas monitor is small in size (20 x 11 x 6 cm), lightweight (1.1 kg), requires low power (3.6 W), which is sufficient to operate the system for approximately 4 h, and is connected to a notebook computer for real-time display of data and data acquisition. Analysis of commercial beer and wine samples showed a high correlation (r2 = 0.9996) with gas chromatography results. Therefore, the Langmuir model used with this portable gas monitor offers a linear calibration method for quan-titative analysis of ethanol. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
