This paper presents a feasibility study on the development of a gas preconcentrator based on micro-reactor technology on silicon. The objectives are to select a gas adsorbent material, to produce a silicon micro-reactor with an integrated heater, and finally to introduce the most suitable adsorbent into the micro-channels of the device. Preliminary results related to the characterization of a carbon adsorbent for the development of a device for the preconcentration of benzene are reported. Carbon nano-powders have been tested as adsorbent material by the determination of the breakthrough time on a dedicated test bench consisting of gas sensors and a non-selective photoionization detector (micro-PID) analyzer. A fluidic deposition process allows filling up the silicon micro-channels with the carbon nano-powder. The interest in using porous silicon to enhance the binding of the carbon nano-particles in the micro-channels was also investigated. A silicon micromachined preconcentrator filled with 0.30mg of commercial activated charcoal powder (Aldrich, 30–100nm) was designed and built up. The total capacity of adsorption was determined by using the breakthrough time, which is of 2.2min under a gas flow of 100ppm of benzene at 1l/h. Preliminary tests of preconcentration with 100 and 1.3ppm benzene in dry air were performed.
