It is critical to monitor the concentration of hydrogen sulfide. Multivariate optical computing (MOC) is a method that can monitor analytes while minimizing responses to interferences. MOC is a technique by which an analogue calculation is performed entirely in the optical domain, which simplifies instrument design, prevents the drift of a calibration, and increases the strength and durability of spectroscopic instrumentation against physical perturbation when used for chemical detection and identification. This paper discusses the detection of hydrogen-sulfide gas in the ultraviolet (UV) spectral region in the presence of interfering gaseous species. A laboratory spectroscopic measurement system was set up to acquire the UV spectra of H2S and interference gas mixtures in high-pressure\/high-temperature (HPHT) conditions. These spectra were used to guide the design and fabrication of a multivariate optical element (MOE), which has an expected measurement relative accuracy of 3.3% for H2S, with a concentration in the range of 0\u2013150 nmol\/mL. An MOC validation system with the MOE was used to test three samples of H2S and mercaptans mixtures under various pressures, and the relative accuracy of H2S measurement was determined to be 8.05%.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s18072006","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,22]],"date-time":"2018-06-22T10:56:28Z","timestamp":1529664988000},"page":"2006","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Hydrogen Sulfide Gas Detection via Multivariate Optical Computing"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Bin","family":"Dai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sensor Physics Department, Halliburton Company, 3000 N.
