A continuous amperometric monitor for aqueous sulfite solutions
has been developed employing the electro-oxidation of sulfur (IV)
in 0. 1 M sulfuric acid at a glassy carbon test electrode. The monitor
employs a hydrodynamic flow cell, in which the solution stream
enters the cell through an orifice impinging on the...
