  • Patent number: 9625405
    Abstract: An ozone water concentration measurement apparatus that is capable of measuring ozone concentrations with high accuracy and without using an electrolyte brings at least a counter electrode and a working electrode into contact with ozone water, which is a sample solution (S), applies voltage between the counter electrode and the working electrode, and measures the current value at that voltage, to thereby calculate the ozone concentration in the ozone water. In the ozone water concentration measurement apparatus, the working electrode is a conductive diamond electrode, and the surface area that contacts the ozone water of the working electrode is within the range of 628 to 392,500 ?m2.

  • Patent number: 7883617
    Abstract: This invention provides an electrochemical analysis method for accurately detecting a harmful substance such as arsenic contained in a solution. In the electrochemical analysis method, a working electrode and a counter electrode are disposed in an object electrolytic solution. A negative potential is applied to the working electrode to electrodeposit the electrolyte onto the surface of the working electrode and thus to form an electrodeposit. Next, the potential of the working electrode is sweeped in a positive potential direction to allow the electrodeposit to elute into the solution and, at the same time, to detect a current change upon a potential change and thus to analyze an object substance dissolved as an electrolyte in the object electrolytic solution. A boron-doped electroconductive diamond electrode or an electrode with gold deposited on its surface is used as the working electrode.

  • Publication number: 20070114137
    Abstract: A residual chlorine measuring method includes the steps of bringing a counter electrode, a working electrode and a reference electrode into contact with a sample solution containing a residual chlorine. Applying a voltage between the counter electrode and the working electrode and measuring a current value to calculate a concentration of the residual chlorine. The working electrode is an electrically conductive diamond electrode to which an element selected from a group of boron, nitrogen and phosphorus is doped into a diamond coating. The reference electrode is a silver/silver chloride electrode. A current value, when setting the potential of the electrically conductive diamond electrode to the silver/silver chloride electrode, is in the range of +0.5 V to +1.5 V for measurements.
