In the LOTUS project, partners are developing carbon nanotube-based sensor capable of measuring different parameters such as temperature, chlorine level, pH level, etc. These sensors are tested and validated in different settings in the five LOTUS use cases.<\/p>\n
Our project partner, B\u00e9reng\u00e8re Lebental from the University Gustave Eiffel in France released a scientific publication on the calibration method used for the sensors to monitor chlorine and pH.<\/p>\n
“Societal demands in the field of air and water pollution monitoring require the ability to simultaneously detect a wide variety of chemical elements at very low concentrations in complex environments using compact and low-cost sensor devices.” <\/em><\/p>\n “While other tested calibration methods only allowed the monitoring of active chlorine, our solution enables monitoring of both active chlorine and pH with quantified and reasonable uncertainties.”<\/em><\/p>\n
