Abstract: Method of producing a gas sensor includes positioning a sensor substrate in a flame spray pyrolysis apparatus, generating an aerosol phase with sensing material nanoparticles by flame spray pyrolysis of a precursor substance, depositing the sensing material particles contained in the aerosol, in particular nanoparticles of the sensing material, onto the sensor substrate directly from the aerosol phase to form a porous sensing layer on the sensor substrate.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing a gas sensor comprising the steps of a. Positioning a sensor substrate (7) in a flame spray pyrolysis apparatus (1); b. Generating an aerosol phase comprising sensing material nanoparticles by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) of a precursor substance; c. Depositing the sensing material particles contained in the aerosol, in particular nanoparticles of the sensing material, onto the sensor substrate (7) directly from the aerosol phase to form a porous sensing layer (15).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for electro-catalytical hydrogenation of vat dyes and sulphide dyes in aqueous solutions, and to an apparatus for carrying out said method. The inventive method is suitable for batch operation and continuous operation. It works entirely without any reducing agents and provides a substantially salt-free dye concentrations of up to 200 g/l. The dyed threads are characterized by good friction qualities and by a high weaving yield. As far as waste water is concerned, no toxic load occurs and the salt loads are much lower, thereby enabling the waste water to be recycled in a substantially less complex manner in comparison with other conventional dye systems. The invention also relates to an apparatus for carrying out said method.
