Abstract

An electrochemical measuring cell for detecting hydrocyanic acid is improved in such a manner that a stable measurement signal is provided after a short time. The measuring cell includes a measuring electrode (1) of sintered gold and a counter electrode (2). A measuring cell housing (4) accommodates the measuring electrode (1) and the counter electrode (2). An electrolyte is in the measuring cell housing (4) and includes sulphuric acid with an additive of silver sulphate. A diffusion membrane (5) is disposed between the measuring electrode (1) and the substance to be detected.
