Title Sodium sulfide determination in workplace air
Original title Opredelenie sul'fida natrija v vozduhe rabočej zony [in Russian]
Bibliographic information Oct. 1986, No.10, p.54-56. Illus. 4 ref.
Abstract A spectrophotometric method is proposed for determining sodium sulfide in workplace air in cupro-molybdenum ore flotation, where silver is used as a flotation reagent. The ability of sodium sulfide to react with silver salts and form a coloured product is used. The lower limit of sodium sulfide determination is 5µg, and the upper 40µg. Ions of metals which form sulfides interfere with the determination.
