“…Current methods for the detection of sulfide usually rely upon colorimetric measurements (i.e., zinc trap/methylene blue test) or a visual color coded detection using a paper strip [1]. Although there are several methods reported within the literature for the analytical sensing of sulfide (within aqueous media) such as chromatography, mass spectrometry, fluorescent and chemiluminescent techniques [2][3][4][5][6][7], electroanalytical techniques can provide potentially sensitive, portable and low cost alternatives [8][9][10][11][12][13]. There have been several reports upon the electroanalytical sensing of sulfide within aqueous media, however many involve multiple arduous and time-consuming fabrication steps and in the majority of these reports, electrocatalysts/mediators are employed for the electrochemical sensing of sulfide; Table 1 provides a thorough overview of literature.…”

Abstract:The mediatorless electroanalytical sensing of sulfide is explored at a range of commercially available graphitic based electrodes namely, edge and basal plane pyrolytic graphite (EPPGE and BPPGE, respectively), boron-doped diamond (BDDE), glassy carbon (GCE) and screen-printed electrodes (SPE). The electrochemical performance is evaluated in terms of current density/analytical signal and oxidation potential, where the GCE and SPE are found to possess the optimal electrochemical responses. The electroanalytical performance of the GCE is explored towards the electrochemical sensing of sulfide and it is found that it is hampered by sulfide passivation, thus requiring pretreatment in the form of electrode polishing between each measurement. We demonstrate that SPEs provide a simple analytically comparable alternative, which, due to their scales of economy, create disposable, one-shot sensors that do not require any pretreatment of the electrode surface. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report using mediatorless SPEs (bare/unmodified) towards the sensing of sulfide. In addition, the electroanalytical efficacy of the SPEs is also explored towards the detection of sulfide within model aqueous solutions and real drinking water samples presenting good apparent recoveries, justifying the plausibility of this graphitic mediatorless screen-printed platform.

A simple spectrophotometric method for determination of hydrogen sulfide in wastewater and hot spring samples was developed. The method is based on the reaction between hydrogen sulfide and sodium 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulfonate (NQS). The effect of various experimental factors on the reaction between hydrogen sulfide and NQS was investigated and optimized using central composite design. The optimal values of the factors were 5.00 9 10 -4 mol L -1 for concentration of NQS and 1.00 9 10 -2 mol L -1 for concentration of hydrochloric acid. The wavelength of the maximum absorption of the reaction product was 320 nm. Constructed calibration curve for hydrogen sulfide determination was linear in the range of 0.5-20.0 mg L -1 with the detection limit of 0.16 mg L -1 . The method was free from interferences. Percent relative errors below 2 % were obtained for determination of hydrogen sulfide in environmental samples.

“…In practice, concentrations ranging from sub-ppmv levels at low pressures to several per cents at atmospheric conditions need to be monitored. Despite a variety of online monitoring options for gaseous H 2 S, its reliable quantitative and selective determination still remains challenging in the field of chemical sensors [3][4][5].In the field of laser spectroscopy, the constant improvement of quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) has led to their application as reliable sources of coherent light ranging from the mid-infrared (MIR) to the terahertz spectral region for sensitive detection of molecular species on their fundamental vibrational, respectively, rotational bands [6][7][8][9]. Due to their tailorable emission wavelength, high output power, compactness, narrow spectral linewidth, and wavelength tuneability, QCLs are optimal choices for spectroscopic applications.…”

recommended by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) is 5 ppmv [2]. The permissible exposure limit value for H 2 S is 10 ppmv, the Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH) level is 300 ppmv and lethal concentrations are in the range of 2000 ppmv [2]. In practice, concentrations ranging from sub-ppmv levels at low pressures to several per cents at atmospheric conditions need to be monitored. Despite a variety of online monitoring options for gaseous H 2 S, its reliable quantitative and selective determination still remains challenging in the field of chemical sensors [3][4][5].In the field of laser spectroscopy, the constant improvement of quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) has led to their application as reliable sources of coherent light ranging from the mid-infrared (MIR) to the terahertz spectral region for sensitive detection of molecular species on their fundamental vibrational, respectively, rotational bands [6][7][8][9]. Due to their tailorable emission wavelength, high output power, compactness, narrow spectral linewidth, and wavelength tuneability, QCLs are optimal choices for spectroscopic applications. In addition, optical resonator designs are constantly improved over the years with the distributed feedback (DFB) [10] and the external cavity (EC) [11] approach being the most prominent ones. A general aim with respect to the ongoing development of QCLs for sensing applications is to reduce the line width of the emitted radiation to a minimum while achieving a spectral coverage as large as possible. So far, EC-QCLs offer the largest tuning range which, depending on the employed gain medium, may cover up to several hundreds of wavenumbers. The external cavity design facilitates broadband spectral tuning by an external diffraction grating, while the selection of the emission wavelength takes place by changing the grating angle relative to the QCL chip.Abstract Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) trace gas detection based on off-beam quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy using a continuous wave (CW), mode-hop-free external cavity (EC) quantum cascade laser tunable from 1310 to 1210 cm −1 was performed. A 1σ minimum detection limit of 492 parts per billion by volume (ppbv) using a 1 s lock-in time constant was obtained by targeting the line centered at 1234.58 cm . This value corresponds to a normalized noise equivalent absorption coefficient for H 2 S of 3.05 × 10 −9 W cm −1 Hz −1/2 .
