The present invention provides a catalytic conversion-type sensor that detects a detection target gas by detecting a conversion gas produced through a reaction, the catalytic conversion-type sensor including: a gas flow path that allows the detection target gas to flow down; and a conversion portion that is connected to the gas flow path, the conversion portion including, on a side partitioned by a diffusion means that allows the detection target gas to naturally diffuse, a heated catalyst portion that produces a conversion gas by causing the detection target gas to come into contact with a heated catalyst and react with the heated catalyst, and a sensor element portion that is capable of detecting the conversion gas produced through the reaction.

Provided are a method and system for measuring hydrogen peroxide concentration in sample water collected from a prescribed position in a water treatment process and includes: collecting the sample water; measuring a concentration of a dissolved oxygen in the sample water or a treated water obtained by treating the sample water with the hydrogen peroxide decomposing device by first and second dissolved oxygen concentration measuring analyzers to obtain a corrected value that is a difference between the two dissolved oxygen concentration values; measuring the concentration of the dissolved oxygen in the sample and treated water by the first and second dissolved oxygen concentration measuring analyzers, respectively, and obtaining a measured value that is a difference between the dissolved oxygen concentration values; and calculating a corrected concentration of hydrogen peroxide from the measured value obtained during the measured value obtaining and the corrected value obtained during the corrected value obtaining.

A method for analyzing a catalyst in a catalytic reactor that operates under non-isothermal conditions includes the steps of: positioning a catalyst basket within a catalyst bed within the catalytic reactor, the catalyst basket containing catalyst material the forms the catalyst bed; operating the catalytic reactor, the catalyst basket having dimensions such that a temperature difference (T) along an axial direction (height) of the catalyst basket is non-isothermal; and analyzing the catalyst material contained within the catalyst basket. The temperature difference (T) is, in one embodiment, within a range of 1 C. to 40 C. and preferably, within a range of 5 C. to 25 C.

The present invention relates to an analytical method that includes providing a sample potentially containing a chiral analyte that can exist in stereoisomeric forms, and providing a probe selected from the group consisting of metal salts. The sample is contacted with the probe under conditions that permit coordination of the probe to the analyte, if present in the sample; and, based on any coordination that occurs, the absolute configuration of the analyte in the sample, and/or the concentration of the analyte in the sample, and/or the enantiomeric composition of the analyte in the sample is/are determined.
