5. DETERMINATION OF SULPHUR DIOXIDE IN AIR (MODIFIED WEST AND GAEKE METHOD) 1.0 TITLE Method for determination of Sulphur Dioxide in <strong>Air</strong> (Modified West and Gaeke Method). 2.0 PURPOSE The purpose is to lay down an uniform and reliable method for determination of sulphur dioxide (SO2) in ambient air. 3.0 PRINCIPLE Sulphur dioxide from air is absorbed in a solution of potassium tetrachloromercurate (TCM). A dichlorosulphitomercurate complex, which resists oxidation by the oxygen in the air, is formed. Once formed, this complex is stable to strong oxidants such as ozone and oxides of nitrogen and therefore, the absorber solution may be stored for some time prior to analysis. The complex is made to react with pararosaniline and formaldehyde to form the intensely colored pararosaniline methylsulphonic acid. The absorbance of the solution is measured by means of a suitable spectrophotometer. Concentration of sulphur dioxide in the range of 25-1050 µg/m 3 can be measured under the conditions given one can measure concentration below 25 µg/m 3 by sampling larger volumes of air, but only if, the absorber efficiency of the particular system is first determined and found to be satisfactory. Higher concentration can be analyzed by using smaller gas samples of a suitable aliquot of the collected sampler. Beer's law is followed through the working range from 0.03 to 1.0 absorbance unit. This corresponds to 0.8-27 µg of sulfite ion in 25 ml of final solution calculated as sulphur dioxide. The lower limit of detection of sulphur dioxide in 10 ml absorbing reagent is 0.75 µg based on twice the standard deviation, which represent a concentration of 25 µg/m 3 in an air sample of 30 litres. 4.0 SCOPE This method is applicable for the measurement of concentration of sulphur dioxide present in ambient air. 5.0 INTERFERENCES The effects of the principal known interferences have been minimized or eliminated. Interferences by oxides of nitrogen are eliminated by sulphamic acid. Ozone is made to decompose by allowing the solution to stand for some time 86
prior to analysis. The interference of trace metals may be eliminated by the addition of ethylenediamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) to the absorbing solution prior to sampling. At least 60 µg iron (III), 10 µg manganese (II), and 10 µg chromium (III) in 10 ml absorbing reagent can be tolerated in the procedure. No significant interference was found from 10 µg copper (II) and 22 µg vanadium (V). Ammonium, sulphide, and aldehydes do not interfere. 6.0 APPARATUS 6.1 Sampling 6.1.1 Absorber - An all-glass midget impinger, as shown in Figure-1, is recommended for 30 minutes, 1 hour and 4 hours samples. For 24 hours sampling, assemble an absorber from the following parts. 6.1.2 Polypropylene Two-Port Tube Closures 6.1.3 Glass Impingers - Tubing, 6 mm OD and 15 cm long. One end is drawn to small diameter so that a No.79 jeweller's drill bit will pass through, but a No.78 jeweller's bit will not. The other end is fire polished. 6.1.4 Polypropylene Tubes - Tubes 164 by 32 mm, 'Nalgene' or equivalent. 6.1.5 Pump - Capable of maintaining an air pressure differential greater than 0.7 atm at the desired flow rate. 6.1.6 <strong>Air</strong> Flowmeter or Critical Orifice - A calibrated rotameter or critical orifice capable of measuring air flow within 2%. For 30 minutes sampling, a 22 gauge hypodermic needle 2.5 cm long may be used as a critical orifice to give a flow of about 1 litre/minute. For 1 hour sampling, a 23 gauge hypodermic needle 1.6 cm long may be used to give a flow of about 0.2 litre/minute. Use a membrane filter to protect the orifice (Figure 2). 6.2 Analysis A spectrophotometer suitable for measurement of absorbance at 560 nm with an effective spectral band width of less than 15 nm is required. Reagent blank problems may occur with spectrophotometer having greater spectral band widths. 87
