Fund Project:

A system based on yttria-stabilized zirconia(YSZ) membrane electrode and external pressure balanced Ag/AgCl electrode has been developed for in-situ pH measurement in high temperature aqueous solutions. The pH values of H₃BO₃\LiOH solutions at 473.15 K to 573.15 K were measured by this system and compared with thermodynamically calculated pH values. The precise pH measurement is achieved when temperature is higher than 548.15 K. While below 548.15 K, deviation exists due to the large resistance of YSZ ceramic membrane and it increases with decreasing temperature. The mechanism of pH measurement in high temperature aqueous solutions is also discussed.
