Abstract[English]
The invention relates to methods of detecting a volatile acid in a gas, the method comprising the steps of exposing a sensor cartridge to a gas. The sensor cartridge comprises an acid collapsable metal-organic framework (MOF) with a fluorescent molecule encapsulated within the MOF framework. The sensor cartridge is illuminated during and/or after the exposure of the sensor to the gas to excite the fluorescent molecule. The fluorescence emitted by the fluorescent molecule after exposure to the gas is detected. An increase of fluorescence emitted by the sensor cartridge after exposure to the gas is indicative of the presence of an acid in the gas.[French]
La présente invention concerne des procédés de détection d'un acide volatil dans un gaz, le procédé comprenant les étapes consistant à exposer une cartouche de capteur à un gaz. La cartouche de capteur comprend un réseau métalo-organique (RMO) repliable sous l'action d'un acide, avec une molécule fluorescente encapsulée dans la structure RMO. La cartouche de capteur est éclairée pendant et/ou après l'exposition du capteur au gaz pour exciter la molécule fluorescente. La fluorescence émise par la molécule fluorescente après exposition du gaz est détectée. Une augmentation de fluorescence émise par la cartouche de capteur après exposition au gaz indique la présence d'un acide dans le gaz.
