Abstract
Abstract A gas concentration measuring method comprises irradiating a sample gas with ultraviolet light in the presence of oxygen, thereby converting a specific gas for detection contained in the sample gas into fine oxide particles by photochemical reaction, irradiating the sample gas having the fine oxide particles contained therein with light, and detecting scattered light emitted from the fine oxide particles contained in the sample gas.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
104 words
A gas concentration measuring method comprising the steps of: irradiating a sample gas containing trace amounts of a gas subjected to detection and capable of photochemically forming light-scattering oxide particles, exposing said sample gas to a photochemical intensity level of ultraviolet light in the presence of oxygen in a concentration of 20 to 100 percent at a temperature in the range of from normal room temperature to 60 degrees Centigrade, thereby forming fine oxide particles of the gas subjected to detection, irradiating the sample gas having the fine oxide particles contained therein with light, and detecting scattered light emitted by the fine oxide particles.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
104 words
A gas concentration measuring method comprising the steps of: irradiating a sample gas containing trace amounts of a gas subjected to detection and capable of photochemically forming light-scattering oxide particles, exposing said sample gas to a photochemical intensity level of ultraviolet light in the presence of oxygen in a concentration of 20 to 100 percent at a temperature in the range of from normal room temperature to 60 degrees Centigrade, thereby forming fine oxide particles of the gas subjected to detection, irradiating the sample gas having the fine oxide particles contained therein with light, and detecting scattered light emitted by the fine oxide particles.
