[en] The liquid argon time projection chamber (LATPC) is currently developed for detecting solar neutrons or proton decays. A dual type gripped ionization chamber with different drift distances of liberated electrons is constructed to measure the purity of liquid argon. A purification system of gaseous argon for LATPC with a drift space of about 150 cm is also constructed. The performances of both the dual type gripped ionization chamber and the purifier are tested seeking to develop a large scale LATPC. It is demonstrated that the attenuation length of electrons and also the impurity level in liquid argon can be well determined in the dual type gripped ionization chamber. In the case of the purifier, there still remains unknown low-level impurities in purified liquid argon. The results are compared with UCI data which were obtained with liquid argon mixed with water vapor. the same tendency is found in the attenuation length of their data as in the present results. This seems to suggest the dominant impurity remaining in the purifier is still water. The present apparatus was previously tested with liquid argon purified by other purification system of Ti-Ba getters. The attenuation length obtained by those tests was almost 100 cm. (N.K.)
