    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and a method using a two-serial space sensor (having first and second internal spaces (2, 3)) for accurately measuring NOx concentration in gas, e.g., exhausted from an internal combustion engine. Both NOx (nitrogen oxide) and oxygen are forced to be partially dissociated in the first space (2) to an oxygen concentration level of 2 x 10 -7 to 2 x 10 -10 atm by pumping out oxygen from the first space (2). The NOx concentration is determined based on the second current measured in the second space (4) and based on the NO dissociation percentage in the first space (2) which is 0.5-50%, or preferably 2-20%. The NOx measurement accuracy is further improved when the above oxygen concentration level is maintained from 2 x 10 -8 to 2 x 10 -9 and the temperature drift of the sensor is maintained within ± 5°C under a sensor temperature range of 700-900 °C.

    Abstract: This discloses a method and apparatus for accurately determining a NOx concentration of a measurement gas that contains H 2 O and /or CO 2, without being affected by a dissociation of H 2 O and /or CO 2.
    In this method and apparatus,
    (1) the NOx-measurement gas containing H 2 O and/or CO 2 is introduced to travel through a heated flow channel formed by an oxygen ion conductive solid ceramic electrolyte body that electrically controls amount of O 2 from the flow channel, (2) while said measurement gas travels, a residual gas including NO and H 2 O and/or CO 2 is formed from the measurement gas, (3) said residual gas is flowed to contact a catalytic electrode to which a negative polarity of a low voltage that does not dissociate H 2 O and /Or CO 2 but dissociates NO is applied, so that said electrode dissociates a NO gas of the residual gas into N ions and O ions and flows an electric current through the electrolyte body in proportion to an amount of the O ions dissociated from said residual gas at the electrode, and (4) the NOx concentration in the measurement gas is determined based on the current. The low voltage preferably applied in the above (3)is about 350-450 mV.
