Abstract

In this paper, research into the fabrication and characterization of a new fibre optic sensor for chloride ion detection is reported. This sensor is based on the fluorescence quenching of an acridinium dye, which is covalently bound to polymer substrates, in presence of chloride ions. The active material is formed as a powder and packed in a tablet form. Calibration data shows that this fibre optic sensor shows a sensitivity to chloride at concentrations larger than 0.1M.
