The HI 4014 and HI 4114 potassium electrodes are potentiometric devices used for the rapid determination of free
potassium ions in water, soft drinks, wine, and soils. The
electrode functions as a sensor or ionic conductor. HI 4014
requires a separate reference electrode to complete its electrolytic circuit. HI 4114 is a combination electrode with a
reference electrode incorporated in its design. The PVC membrane used on the sensor is impregnated with the organic
ion exchanger valinomycin. This carrier ionophore encloses
the ion like a cage. The outside of the ionophore molecule
is uncharged and it can freely diffuse through the lipid
layers of the membrane producing a charge imbalance
between the test solution and internal cell of the sensor.
This produces a voltage that changes in response to the
sample’s ion activity. When the ionic strength of the sample
is fixed, the voltage is proportional to the concentration of
potassium ions in solution. The sensor follows the Nernst
Equation:
E = E
