7.5 Replacing the Electrochemical Sensor
HAZARD FROM WEAK ACID AQUEOUS SOLUTION
If the electrolyte leaks due to sensor damage, put the sensor in a plastic
bag so that the solution will not be smeared on other places and return the
sensor to Emerson Process Management or an industrial waste management
contractor.
The electrolyte is a weak acid aqueous solution of 5 to 6 in pH with an
irritating odor. It will not ignite spontaneously even if it is left. Nevertheless,
lead acetate, which is a component of the solution, is harmful to human
bodies and should be handled with care as follows:
If the electrolyte leaked due to sensor damage is smeared on the skin
or clothing, immediately wash the contacted part with soapy water and
wash off the solution with a large amount of tap water.
If the electrolyte leaked due to sensor damage gets into an eye,
immediately wash the eye with a large amount of tap water for 15
minutes and consult a doctor promptly.
If the electrolytic solution or atomized electrolytic solution leaked due
to sensor damage is inhaled, immediately wash the nostrils and gargle
with tap water and consult a doctor promptly.
Do not disassemble or repair the sensor. Removing a sensor part or
remodeling the sensor will damage the sensor or leak the electrolyte and
restoration to the original condition may not be possible.
If the electrolyte leaked due to sensor damage is swallowed, immediately
wash the mouth with tap water. Swallow a large amount of tap water
or 600 cm³ (20.29 .oz) of milk and vomit it. Consult a doctor promptly.
Discarded sensors cause environmental contamination. Return a worn-out
sensor to Emerson Process Management or an industrial waste management
contractor when discarding a worn-out sensor.
