8、asured potentiometrically using asulfide ion-selective electrode in conjunction with a double-junction sleeve type reference electrode. Potentials are readusing a pH meter having an expanded millivolt scale capable ofbeing read to the nearest 0.1 mV, or a specific ion meter havinga direct concentrat
9、ion scale for sulfide ion.4.2 Samples are treated prior to analysis with sulfide anti-oxidant buffer (SAOB). This buffer fixes the solution pH at ahighly alkaline level and contains ascorbic acid to retard airoxidation of sulfide ion in solution.This ensures that the sulfidepresent occurs chiefly as
10、 S2ion rather than as complexedHS1or H2S that are present at lower pH values.5. Significance and Use5.1 Sulfide ion is found in ground waters and wastewater,causing odor and corrosion problems. If acidified, these waterscan release hydrogen sulfide, which is extremely toxic even atlow levels. This t
11、est method provides a means for interference-free measurement of free sulfide ion.NOTE 1Sulfide forms complexes with hydrogen ions (HS1and H2S).In addition, sulfide ion forms soluble complexes with elemental sulfur(S22,S32,S42, etc.), tin, antimony, and arsenic ions.6.

21、red by weighing thesalt because of the large and variable water of hydration.Instead, prepare a saturated sodium sulfide solution by addingapproximately 100 g of the Na2S9H2O to approximately 100mLof water, shake well, stopper securely, and allow it to stand,at least overnight.7.5.2 To prepare the s

Sampling and Storage8.1 Collect samples in accordance with Practices D 3370.8.2 Samples should be taken with a minimum of aeration toavoid air oxidation of sulfide or loss of volatile hydrogensulfide from the sample. Preserve samples by adding 0.2 mL (4drops) of 2 M zinc
26、 acetate (equivalent to 128 mg/L S=2) and0.05 mL (1 drop) of 6 M sodium hydroxide to a 100-mL bottle.Fill the bottle completely with the sample and stopper it. Thereshould be no air bubbles trapped under the stopper. If theconcentration of sulfide is greater than approximately 100mg/L, the amounts o
27、f both reagents should be increased.8.3 Sulfide in samples that have been “preserved” with zincacetate can be determined without special treatment, sinceSAOB contains EDTA to redissolve the zinc and free thesulfide. The entire sample is used for analysis, and since theresults will be given in millig

Calibration9.1 Prepare four calibration standards each day using100-mL volumetric flasks as follows:9.1.1 Standard A5.00 mL of sodium sulfide stock solu-tion, 45 mL of SAOB (use a graduated cylinder), and dilute to100 mL with water.9.1.2 Stan

Precision and Bias412.1 The instability of sulfide ion in the presence of oxygenmakes conventional round robin testing (the distribution of“unknowns” to a number of laboratories) an impossibility. Forthat reason, and with the concurrence and advice of the ResultsAdviso
38、r, this test method was tested as described here, so thatusers of this test method might have some guidance as to thevalidity of their results.12.2 On each of three days, operators in each of sixlaboratories standardized a sodium sulfide stock solution asdescribed in Section 10. Full calibration, us
39、ing four standardsprepared by dilution of the standardized stock solution, wascarried out five times on each day by each operator, and thepotential values were recorded.12.3 The five replicates at each level were averaged andstandard deviations were calculated. By averaging the standarddeviation val
40、ues in segments of the concentration range, Table1 was developed. Since the sodium sulfide stock solutionsvaried from day to day, this approach was chosen to providethe most useful information. The data show the averagestandard deviation in millivolts (from which concentrationvariations may be calcu
41、lated) that an average user may expectat the concentrations indicated.12.4 An additional, rather unusual, treatment of the data isshown in Fig. 2. Each of the nominal concentration values isplotted against the average of five potential values obtained forit (72 points), as if all had been obtained b

The straight line combines data taken by sixdifferent operators using six different electrode pairs on threedifferent days at 72 different concentrations, with all laborato-ries using the same procedure. It is intend
43、ed only to provide apotential user of this test method with a practical, if notcompletely statistically valid, estimate of the kinds of resultswhich can be expected.12.5 The testing described was carried out using reagentwater only. It is the users responsibility to ensure the validityof this test m

45、 Quality Control13.1 In order to be certain that analytical values obtainedusing these test methods are valid and accurate within theconfidence limits of the test, the following QC procedures mustbe followed when analyzing sulfide ion.13.2 Calibration and Calibration Verification:13.2.1 Analyze at l
46、east three working standards containingconcentrations of sulfide ion that bracket the expected sampleconcentration, prior to analysis of samples, to calibrate theinstrument. The calibration correlation coefficient shall beequal to or greater than 0.990. In addition to the initialcalibration blank, a
47、 calibration blank shall be analyzed at theend of the batch run to ensure contamination was not a problemduring the batch analysis.13.2.2 Verify instrument calibration after standardization byanalyzing a standard at the concentration of one of thecalibration standards. The concentration of a mid-ran
48、ge stan-dard should fall within 615 % of the known concentration.13.2.3 If calibration cannot be verified, recalibrate theinstrument.13.3 Initial Demonstration of Laboratory Capability:13.3.1 If a laboratory has not performed the test before, or ifthere has been a major change in the measurement sys
49、tem, forexample, new analyst, new instrument, etc., a precision andbias study must be performed to demonstrate laboratorycapability.13.3.2 Analyze seven replicates of a standard solutionprepared from an Independent Reference Material containing amid-range concentration of sulfide ion. The matrix and chem-istry of the solution should be equivalent to the solution usedin the collaborative study. Each replicate must be taken throughthe complete analytical test method including any samplepreservation and pretreatment steps. The replicates may beinterspersed
