Abstract

The iodide formed stoichiometrically for sulfide by its oxidation with iodate was extracted as an ion-pair with methylene green into 1,2-dichloroethane and the extract was measured spectrophotometrically at 656nm for the determination of sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide separated from the sample matrix was introduced into a solution containing pH 3.5 acetate buffer and iodate, in which the hydrogen sulfide was completely converted into iodide. A linear calibration graph was obtained over the range <TEX>$3{\times}10^{-7}{\sim}1.2{\times}10^{-5}M$</TEX> sulfide(<TEX>$0.0096{\sim}0.384{\mu}g$</TEX> of <TEX>$S^{2-}/ml$</TEX>) and the detection limit was <TEX>$0.0032{\mu}g/ml$</TEX>. The apparent molar absorptivity and a correlation coefficient(r) were <TEX>$6.7{\times}10^4L\;mole^{-1}\;cm^{-1}$</TEX> and 0.999, respectively. When applied to the stream water samples, the proposed method gave a relative standard deviation of 1.59% at <TEX>$5{\times}10^{-6}M$</TEX> sulfide level.
