[Application of microwave dielectric spectrum to analysis of low-carbon alcohols in water].
A novel technique for detecting low-carbon alcohols in water at microwave frequency is presented. The technique is based on the measurement of microwave scattering parameters of aqueous solutions containing alcohols. The method employs transmission-line technique at frequency field. The scattering parameters were obtained by measuring the microwave transmission power. The changes in scattering parameters were measured when a sample vessel filled with aqueous solution containing low-carbon alcohols was inserted in the microwave transmission line. It is shown, from the experimental data, that there are good linear relationships between the scattering parameters and the concentrations of alcohols within a certain range.
