Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of detection, in particular to a method and a kit for detecting CO2 gas concentration in a low-temperature environment. BACKGROUND

[0002] CO2 is widely used in agricultural product preservation, agricultural production, medical treatment, refrigeration and many other scenes, and in these application scenarios, it is necessary to quickly detect the concentration of CO2 in the environment.

[0003] At present, the detection methods of carbon dioxide can be divided into the following categories according to different application scenarios and requirements: physical optical analysis method, chemical analysis method, and electrochemical sensor method.

[0004] The physical optical analysis method includes non-dispersive infrared absorption method (NDIR) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy method (FTIR). These two methods utilize the characteristics of carbon dioxide absorbing infrared rays of specific wavelengths, and determine the concentration of carbon dioxide by measuring the degree of absorption of infrared rays, which has the characteristics of high resolution and high sensitivity, but the device structure is relatively complex and the equipment cost is high. The chemical analysis method uses a specific chemical absorbent (such as sodium hydroxide solution) to absorb carbon dioxide, and calculates the concentration of carbon dioxide by measuring the change in gas volume before and after absorption, which is relatively simple to operate, but is not suitable for on-site rapid detection. The electrochemical sensor method measures the concentration of carbon dioxide by detecting the electrochemical reaction between carbon dioxide and electrolyte, but an electrochemical device needs to be added to the equipment, and the system structure is relatively complex and the cost is high.

[0005] In the chemical analysis method, for example, the phenolphthalein reagent detection method has a slow response speed in a low-temperature environment; in the lime water detection method, the solvent water will freeze in a low-temperature environment. In the infrared spectroscopy detection method and the mass spectrometry detection method, the electrochemical device increases the complexity of the detection system and some environments do not allow the use of electric equipment.

[0006] The above carbon dioxide detection methods have great deficiencies in the convenience of instant use, and therefore a method for quickly detecting the concentration of CO2 gas is needed. SUMMARY

[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a method for detecting the concentration of CO2 gas by using a cobalt nitrate complex. The color change of the detection system of the CO2 gas detection method in the present application is obvious, from green to blue, and the response speed is fast.

[0008] The present application also provides a kit for detecting the concentration of CO2 gas, which has a simple structure, a small volume, is convenient to carry, has a low cost, is easy to operate, and is completely not limited by the humidity in the environment.

[0012] S2: adding hydrogen peroxide, triethylamine and the detected gas in the cobalt nitrate complex solution obtained in step S1, and there is no sequence for the addition of the three, and the container is shaken; if the color of the solution changes from green to blue, then the detected gas contains CO2 with a concentration greater than 10%; if the color of the solution does not change within 60 min, then the concentration of CO2 in the detected gas is less than 10%.

[0013] In step S2, if the color of the solution changes from green to blue instantaneously (≤2s), then the detected gas contains CO2 with a concentration greater than 20%; if the color of the solution slowly changes to blue within 60 min, then the concentration of CO2 in the detected gas is 10%-20%; if the color of the solution does not change within 60 min, then the concentration of CO2 in the detected gas is less than 10%.

[0014] The color response speed of the method for detecting the concentration of carbon dioxide is only related to the concentration of CO2 gas in the detected environment, and is not related to the temperature of the detected environment.

[0015] In step S1, the molecular structure of the cobalt nitrate complex is:

[0019] The structure of the color-producing ion of the blue solution in step S2 is:

[0020] .

[0021] In step S1, the molar concentration of the cobalt nitrate complex solution is ≥0.001 mol / L.

[0022] In step S1, the solvent is one of acetonitrile, trifluoroethanol, tetrahydrofuran, methanol, N,N-dimethylformamide, or a mixed solvent of the above solvents.

[0023] The detection CO2 gas concentration method has a use temperature of-78℃ to 35℃.

[0024] The molar ratio of the hydrogen peroxide to the cobalt nitrate complex is greater than or equal to 1:1, and the molar ratio of the triethylamine to the cobalt nitrate complex is greater than or equal to 0.5:1.

[0025] A kit for detecting CO2 gas concentration, the kit comprising a cobalt nitrate complex, a solvent, hydrogen peroxide and triethylamine, wherein the cobalt nitrate complex forms a cobalt nitrate complex solution with the solvent, the molar concentration of the cobalt nitrate complex solution is greater than or equal to 0.001 mol / L, the molar ratio of the hydrogen peroxide to the cobalt nitrate complex is greater than or equal to 1:1, and the molar ratio of the triethylamine to the cobalt nitrate complex is greater than or equal to 0.5:1.

[0026] The kit has a storage temperature of less than or equal to-4℃.

[0027] The present application has the following advantages:

[0028] (1) The color of the detection liquid in the method for detecting CO2 gas concentration changes obviously from green to blue, and the response speed is fast.

[0029] (2) The method for detecting CO2 gas concentration can be used under low temperature conditions, especially under low temperature conditions of-78℃ to-20℃.
