Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) Microsensors to Monitor Multi-Component Vapor Challenges to Adsorbents and Adsorbent-Based Air Filtration Systems

Abstract

The current effort was done to assess the utility of surface acoustic wave (SAW) detectors for analyzing multicomponent gaseous mixtures in real time. Tasks included surveying currently available SAW detector capability, selecting several candidate SAW coating materials, fabricating vapor monitors, and testing for sensitivity and selectivity. An assessment of possible SAW designs for real- time analysis of multicomponent mixtures is attempted. Surface acoustic wave detector, Real-time multicomponent vapor analysis.
