Applicability of an electrochemical H2S gas sensor to estimate odors emitted
from industrial wastewater
̼ءġ輱*
Abstracts
This study was carried out to investigate the response characteristics of a hydrogen sulfide electrochemical gas
sensor for several wastewater odors. At first, it was found that bubbling sampling method was superior to
headspace sampling method in terms of sensor sensitivity. High correlation between odor concentration and sensor
results was shown for two wastewater which were r = 0.977 for food-waste recycling wastewater and r = 0.997
for food industry wastewater. On the other hand, no correlation (r = 0.258) was found for plating wastewater,
because hydrogen sulfide was not the main odorant for that.
