- Additional information
- Carboxylic or volatile fatty acids (VFA) are important products and intermediates of biological and chemical processes with 10 million tonnes of acetate used per year in the chemical industry. Current methods are challenging to be automated as an on-line monitor. A new type of electrochemical sensor was designed and implemented for use as an on-line instrument. The proposed sensor system would have lower cost and more robust than the existing conventional sensors systems. This was part of Dr R. Fernandez Feito`s PhD thesis and has subsequently received research fellowship funding in the £26 million ERDF funded FLEXIS project.
