Algorithms for Processing the Response Data of Sensitive Elements of Gas Sensors in Chemically Aggressive Environments

Currently, much attention is paid to environmental monitoring. This is in many cases characterized by the use of highly efficient solid state gas analyzers based on semiconductors. At the same time, it is necessary not only to use high-quality components, but also to process data quickly, meeting the requirements for accuracy and quality. Such processing makes it possible to diagnose the current performance of sensors, more accurately and faster determine the concentration of the target gas, and control the characteristics. The study introduces a method for processing the response data of the sensitive elements of gas sensors in chemically aggressive media, including the construction of calibration dependencies which increase the accuracy of determining gas concentrations
