sulfide by iodometry problem


in our lab we measure sulfides in water spectrophotometry or by the method known as methylene blue method , but due to the highly interfering ions present in the water we intended to use the other method iodometry titration.

after prepering the sample and performing titrations the volume of thiosulfate used was very high so that according to calculations the concentration of sulfides was in minus sign ....lol!!!!

i dont know what can i do ?!!!!1
i supposed the following :

- may thiosulfate react with other component in the sample together with iodine.
- may be interfering ions still present (so i washed the sample many times - still the confusion present)

i dont know what is the problem can any body help?

This is your likely problem. What ions might be present?
