Abstract

A filter for reducing the cross-sensitivity of a chlorine dioxide detector to hydrogen sulfide. The filter includes a high surface area substrate impregnated with a silver (I) salt or copper (II) salt which is effective to remove hydrogen sulfide from a gas stream without producing undesirable compounds which might be detected by the sensor. The preferred compounds are copper chloride (CuCl,), copper bromide (CuBr,), silver acetate (AgO,CCH,), silver bromate (AgBrO,), silver bromide (AgBr), silver carbonate (Ag,CO,), silver chloride (AgCl), silver chromate (Ag,CrO,), silver cyanide (AgCN), silver iodate (AgIO,), silver oxide (Ag,O), silver perchlorate (AgClO,), silver permanganate (AgMnO,), silver sulfate (Ag,SO,), silver hexafluorophosphate (AgPF,), silver fluoride (AgF), silver tetrafluoroborate (AgBF,), silver iodide (AgI) and silver trifluoromethane sulfonate (AgO,SCF,).
