Description

A COLORIMETRIC DEVICE FOR INDICATING CARBON DIOXIDE
Technical field
The present invention relates to a colorimetric device for indicating carbon dioxide.
Technical background
Methods for the detecting or measuring the concentration of gaseous carbon dioxide (C02) in a mixture of gases utilizing chemical absorption belongs to the well-known technique.
German Patents Nos 919510 and 1 007 525 both discloses selec¬ tive absorption of CO2 on a substance which contains a pH- sensitive dye. The change in the pH-value caused by the C02 bound to the substance becomes apparent as a change in colour of the dye which is present in the substance. Accordingly the change in colour becomes a measure of the content of C07 in the gas flow under investigation.
The problems encountered with these early systems are that the absorbing surface must be kept in hermetically closed glass tubes and that, once said surface gets into contact with the gas flow, an irreversible reaction is obtained, i.e. the device becomes unusable after having been exposed to the test gas. Thus it cannot be used e.g. for monitoring C02 concentrations which vary with time.
A reverible C02 indicator device is disclosed in US-A-
- / 4 278 499. This prior art device comprises a system consis- ting of a pH-sensitive indicator dye, a basic substance and a viscous hygroscopic liquid. The indicator is able both to absorb and desorb C02 with a time constant of a few seconds so that it can be used e.g. in hospitals for monitoring the breathing of a patient. During exhalation, which takes about 4 seconds, the air contains 3-5 % by volume of CO-, whereas the CO-, content during inhalation, which typically takes about 2 seconds, is about 0.05% by volume corresponding to the normal concentration of C07 in atmospheric air. The indicator hence changes colour to and fro with breathing about 10 times a minute.
The main disadvantage of this known system is that it is strongly hygroscopic and hence the indicator will absorb water vapour from the gas under investigation ultimately resulting in that the system ceases to respond to C02. In view of the fact that exhaled air is saturated with water vapour at about 30°C this indicator will only be able to monitor the breathing of a patient for a few minutes.
Another disadvantage exhibited by this prior art device is that the indicator must be stored in a hermetically closed, absolutely dry environment free from carbon dioxide prior to use.
Another type of a reversible colorimetric device is disclose by US-A-5 005 572 and WO91/05252 and an article in Analytica Chemistry, Vol 64, page 1383 (1992).
These systems are based on pH-sensitive indicator dyes, water-insoluble organic quarternary (e.g. ammonium or phos- phonium) hydroxides as a basic substance and additional substances in order to facilitate the absorption/desorption of C02.
These known indicator devices appear to function reversibly for several days and they are indicating satisfactory both i humid and dry environments.
The major disadvantage of these devices is that the strong base decomposes with time so that the indicator slowly becomes permanently "acid" and accordingly useless. Then it exhibits the "acid" colour all the time as if it were expose to a constantly high concentration of CO-,. Also, in the presence of moisture traces, alkaline hydrolysis of phosphate esters etc used as plasticizers produces acidic materials that consume the strong base
This decomposition of the base is strongly depending on the temperature of the environment and hence the useful length of life on an indicator device which has been stored while awaiting use is difficult to predict and check.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a rever¬ sible colorimetric device for indicating carbon dioxide which does not need to be stored in a hermetically closed, absolu¬ tely dry environment free from carbon dioxide prior to use.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a reversible colorimetric device for indicating carbon dioxide with increased shelf life to comply with the requirements which should be put on a mass-produced product, e.g. for use in medical service.
