Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of analytical chemistry, and more particularly to a method for rapidly detecting sulfide in a liquid phase sample in an alkaline environment. Background Art

[0002] In the fields of chemical industry, environmental protection, energy, etc., sulfide (S 2 - etc.) are common pollutants or key process indicators; excessive concentrations can corrode equipment, affect catalyst activity, and even lead to non-compliance with environmental standards. However, existing methods for detecting sulfides have significant defects: mainstream spectrophotometric methods rely on acidic conditions, resulting in volatilization losses of sulfides in alkaline matrices (error rates as high as 28%) and unstable color development systems; carbonate, chloride ions, and heavy metal ions cause complex interferences, causing the detection error rate to exceed 40%; instruments such as gas chromatography are expensive (single sample > 1,000 yuan), and electrochemical sensors are susceptible to poisoning and failure (lifespan is only 30 days); traditional methods have a detection cycle of more than 90 minutes, which cannot meet the needs of industrial real-time control and emergency monitoring. In addition, domestic and international standards lack direct detection solutions for alkaline environments, and related patents have problems such as narrow detection range and weak anti-interference capabilities. Summary of the Invention
