متن کاملSAW Sensor for Mercury Vapour Detection
Mercury is the element commonly applied in industry. Because of poisoning properties the monitoring of the mercury vapour concentration in the environment is very important. Mercury forms amalgams in connection with gold that causes a change in the electrical resistance and mass of the gold specimens. This e ect was applied to measure mercury vapour concentration in the environment using surfac...
