Environmental Analysis by Electrochemical Sensors and Biosensors

Part of the book series: Nanostructure Science and Technology ((NST))

Abstract

Dissolved oxygen (DO) plays a vital role in many industrial, physiological, and environmental processes. The electrochemistry is greatly influenced by the amount of dissolved oxygen because of the reduction of molecular oxygen.

A number of chemical and biological reactions in water also depend on the amount of dissolved oxygen. Monitoring the oxygen in ground or wastewater is an important test in water quality and waste treatment. In this chapter we present the electrochemical sensors for measurement of oxygen from the first Clark electrode to the more modern proposal of modified, miniaturized, and solid-state electrodes.
