Clinoptilolite, Zeolite, Acetone, Gas-sensitive sensor, Microbioreactor, Ionic conductivityAbstract
Objectives: The active development of bioreactors used in a wide range of biotechnological, medical, agricultural, and environmental applications requires improvements in their components, including gas-sensitive sensors for various metabolites. Particular preference is given to sensors that are capable of recognizing the composition of complex gas mixtures without the use of bulky and expensive structures.
Experimental: Zeolite-based sensors are a promising technology. The ion conductivity relaxation curves of zeolites under the application of step voltage pulses are considered. The power dependence of the ion conductivity current over time is shown with parameters depending on the sorption of acetone vapors.
Conclusions: The results obtained demonstrate the possibility of using gas-sensitive sensors based on clinoptilolite for the detection of acetone, which is important for their use in microbioreactors
