Colorimetric detector for ozone and method of preparation

摘要

3-Methyl-2-benzothiazolinone acetone azine and 2-phenylphenol in 1:4 molar solid mixture reacts specifically with ozone at concentrations of environmental interest to produce a red-violet color. The response is proportional, but not rectilinearly, to ozone concentration at constant exposure time and to time of exposure at constant ozone concentration. The reagent is intended for use with visual comparison standards in passive monitoring devices. No interference was observed from atmospheric oxygen, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, or bromine or iodine vapor. Chlorine produced a light yellow color.
