An array of four acoustic wave chemical sensors has been developed and tested for recognition and quantitation of six closely related chlorinated organic vapors at low part-per- million concentrations. These vapors include PCE, TCE, VC, and DCE, cis-1,2-DCE, trans-1,2-DCE, and 1,1-DCE. The developed sensor array can detect as little as 0.2 ppm of PCE, 0.8 ppm of TCE, 1.4 ppm of cis-1,2-DCE, 1.4 ppm of trans-1,2-DCE, 3 ppm of 1,1-DCE, and 3.5 ppm of VC in air. Quantitation of TCE and cis-1,2-DCE vapor mixtures was achieved using multivariate calibration techniques. The locally weighted regression analysis provides more accurate results over the partial least squares regression.© (1999) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
