Development of a measurement system for volcanic CO and CO2 concentrations

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Volcanic activity is a natural source of CO (carbon monoxide) and CO2 (carbon dioxide), two powerful pollutant gases which have harmful effects on human health and the environment. The high concentration of CO and CO2 has a potential risk to surrounding residents, especially in the source area. Malang, East Java, Indonesia, is a city that is surrounded by three volcanoes. The volcanoes produce CO and CO2 in a significantly high concentration. This condition triggers the need for a reliable measurement system. Based on the needs, this study aims to design a CO and CO2 concentration measurement system. The system was applied to measure the CO and CO2 concentrations in three volcano areas: Mt. Welirang, Mt. Bromo, and Mt. Panderman. The system measures with a time response of fewer than 2 seconds with sensitivity o ±0.14 kO/ppm for CO measurement and ±0.05 V/ppm for CO2 measurement and the accuracy ±0.04 ppm for CO and ±9.8 ppm for CO2. The system measurements range from 0 - 15 ppm for CO measurement and 300 - 550 ppm for CO2 concentration with the resolution of 0.01 ppm for CO and 1.0 ppm for CO.
