About dissolved oxygen (DO) : Dissolved oxygen sensor 【Optical sensor method】

In addition to manual analysis such as iodine titration and mirror modification methods, there are membrane electrode methods using sensors and optical sensor methods for the determination of dissolved oxygen.

【Optical sensor method】
In optical sensors, a sensor cap coated with phosphor or phosphor is attached to the tip of the sensor, and a light source and a light detecting section are placed inside to measure using the light emitted by fluorescent (phosphorescent) substances. In the presence of oxygen, the fluorescence (phosphorescence) reaction reduces the amount of light emission (intensity) and shortens the emission time (lifetime) due to the quenching action. Since there is a certain correlation between oxygen concentration and quenching action, it can be converted into oxygen concentration from the signal of luminescence. As shown in Fig. 4, the fluorescent (phosphorescent) substance absorbs energy by light irradiation, and the energy emitted when it returns from the excited state to the ground state is emitted as light.

The relationship between the intensity and lifetime of luminescence in the absence of oxygen and the intensity and lifetime of luminescence in the presence of oxygen is expressed by the Stern-Former equation.

It can be converted to oxygen concentration by obtaining the intensity of emission (I0/I) or emission lifetime (τ0/τ). In this case, the oxygen concentration refers to the partial pressure of oxygen from dissolved oxygen dissolved in water, and is almost equal to the partial pressure of oxygen at the time of atmospheric saturation and the partial pressure of oxygen in the atmosphere, so that it can be easily calibrated using oxygen in the atmosphere.
