Fig. 4. The polarographic sulfide sensor (PSS) signal is dependent on solution pH
(5.58.5) with increased sensitivity of the PSS at lower pH. The
titration at a specific sulfide concentrations (10200 µmol
l1) over a pH range (inset) illustrates the pK for
H2S /HS to be near 6.75 at 20°C and that the
PSS is detecting only H2S.
