Potentiometric Titration of Sulfate in Water and Soil Extracts Using a Lead-Mercury Amalgam Indicator Electrode
1973
Robbins, C. W. | Carter, D. L. | James, D. W.
Sulfate concentrations in pure solutions, drainage waters, and soil saturation extracts were determined potentiometrically using a 70% Pb and 30% Hg amalgam indicator electrode and a saturated calomel reference electrode. Adjusting all samples to pH 4.7 allowed titration to a fixed potential on an automatic titrator. Sulfate concentrations ranging from 0.2 to 10 mmole/liter were determined by this method and compared with concentration determined by a turbidimetric method. Results from the two methods did not differ significantly, but the potentiometric titration method was more precise, sensitive, and rapid.
