In this work, a new capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C4D) sensor for microfluidic devices is developed. By introducing an LC circuit, the working frequency of the new C4D sensor can be lowered by the adjustments of the inductor and the capacitance of the LC circuit. The limits of detection (LODs) of the new C4D sensor for conductivity/ion concentration measurement can be improved. Conductivity measurement experiments with KCl solutions were carried out in microfluidic devices (500 µm × 50 µm). The experimental results indicate that the developed C4D sensor can realize the conductivity measurement with low working frequency (less than 50 kHz). The LOD of the C4D sensor for conductivity measurement is estimated to be 2.2 µS/cm. Furthermore, to show the effectiveness of the new C4D sensor for the concentration measurement of other ions (solutions), SO42− and Li+ ion concentration measurement experiments were also carried out at a working frequency of 29.70 kHz. The experimental results show that at low concentrations, the input-output characteristics of the C4D sensor for SO42− and Li+ ion concentration measurement show good linearity with the LODs estimated to be 8.2 µM and 19.0 µM, respectively.

When using electro-ionizers in the conditions of the fruit storage facilities, it is necessary to take into account the influence of environmental conditions of the electrical ionizers. A particularly important factor here is the relative humidity of the air in the storage tanks. At higher values of the relative humidity of air in the atmosphere of the fruit storage, air ion combine with water molecules to form heavy ions, as a result of which the volume concentration of ions decreases. To test these theoretical assumptions, we conducted studies of the operating parameters of the ionizer under condition of storage tanks high relative air humidity. Studies have shown that under conditions of high air humidity the concentration of ion decreases by 10–12% and at a distance of 1 meter from the ionizer, the air ion concentration is 1,6∙1013 ion/m3.

Atmospheric ions are produced by many natural and anthropogenic sources and their concentrations vary widely between different environments. In this study, we conducted in a southern coastal province of China, where we chose some typical sites to observe. The observations included negative air ion concentration, positive air icon concentration, wind speed, temperature and relative humidity, and negative air icon concentration in materials and plants. The results showed that negative air icon concentration changed more obviously in different water statuses, and showed a certain degree of mutual relations. In order to improve the urban ecological environment, the authors proposed the use of water and wind actively to increase the distribution of negative air anion concentration in urban planning and construction.
