Modified fiber optic sensor for highly precise identification of mercuric ion (Hg2+) concentrations in aqueous solution

A fiber optic sensor for monitoring mercuric (Hg2+) ions in the aqueous sample have been developed based on modified cladding. To fabricate a D-shaped sensing zone onto the multimode optical fiber lengthwise polishing was utilized using a mechanical end and edge polishing system. The produced sensin...

description A fiber optic sensor for monitoring mercuric (Hg2+) ions in the aqueous sample have been developed based on modified cladding. To fabricate a D-shaped sensing zone onto the multimode optical fiber lengthwise polishing was utilized using a mechanical end and edge polishing system. The produced sensing region has dimensions of 10mm × 125 µm × 62 µm (l × w × h). A 2 µm thin layer of Al2O3 nanoparticles sensitized with 4-(2-pyridylazo)-resorcinol was deposited onto the sensing element of multimode fiber optic sensor to make it sensitive and selective for Hg2+ions. The analytical results demonstrate that the sensing device has a linear response for Hg2+ions concentration over a range from 4 to 16 ppm along with a 4 ppm limit of detection in an aqueous sample at room temperature. The selectivity of the sensor is examined for the recognition of Hg2+ions in presence of other cations such as zinc and/or lead ions up to 16 ppm in an aqueous solution. The main merits of this fabricated sensor are easy and safe installation, rapid response, enhanced linear response range, and better selectivity towards Hg2+ions.
