Sequential flow injection determination of iodate and periodate with spectrophotometric detection

A flow injection (FI) system is described for the sequential determination of periodate and iodate based on their reaction with iodide at pH 3.5. Two sample plugs were injected into the same carrier stream sequentially. One injection is for the iodate determination and the other for the sum of iodate and periodate determination. For iodate determination, molybdate solution buffered at pH of 3.5 was used for selective masking of periodate. The influences of reagent concentrations were studied by a univariable method and the influence of FI manifolds was studied using univariable and simplex method. Periodate and iodate can be determined in the range of 0.050-5.0 and 0.050-10 microg/ml, respectively. The 3 sigma limit of detection was 0.030 and 0.050 microg/ml for periodate and iodate, respectively. The proposed method has been applied for the sequential determinations of periodate and iodate in water samples.     

The oxidation of iodide to iodate for the polarographic determination of total iodine in natural waters

A simple method has been designed for the oxidation of iodide to iodate in natural waters and subsequent determination of the iodate by differential pulse polarography. Iodide is oxidized to iodate with sodium hypochlorite and the excess of oxidizing agent is destroyed with sodium sulphite. The concentration of iodide is calculated as the difference between the concentrations of iodate in a sample before and after the oxidation.     

Selection of optimum pH for the iodate determination using differential pulse polarography

The concentration of iodate in seawater samples was determined at various pH values using differential pulse polarography (DPP). The sensitivity for the iodate determination decreased rapidly below pH 7 and above pH 9. The decrease below pH 7 may be caused by conversion of iodate to iodide, followed by the successive formation of I₂ and I₃ ^–. The decrease above pH 9 is probably due to the combination of iodate and hydroxide. Theoretical calculations have demonstrated that the optimum pH for iodate determination is above pH 7.4 for Po₂ = 0.101 Pa.     

Sensitive iodate sensor based on fluorescence quenching of gold nanocluster

In this report we described a highly selective and sensitive iodate sensor. Due to its interaction with fluorescent gold nanoclusters, iodate was capable of oxidizing and etching gold core of the nanoclusters, resulting in fluorescence quenching. Furthermore, it was found that extra iodide ion could enhance this etching process, and even a small amount of iodate could lead to significant quenching. Under an optimized condition, linear relationship between the iodate concentration and the fluorescence quenching was obtained in the range 10 nM–1 μM. The developed iodate sensor was found selective and capable of detecting iodate as low as 2.8 nM. The sensor was then applied for the analysis of iodate in real sample and satisfactory recoveries were obtained.     

Indirect determination of iodate by atomic-absorption spectrophotometry

An indirect method for determination of trace iodate in certain high-purity chemicals by atomic-absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) is described. Iodate forms a stable ion-association complex [Hg(dipy)(2)](IO(3))(2) in neutral medium, which can be extracted into methyl isobutyl ketone with 99% efficiency. The extract can be analysed for mercury (and hence indirectly for iodate) by flameless AAS. The limit of detection for iodate by this method is 7.5 ng. Apparent recoveries of 92-112% have been obtained for spikes of 0.25-0.70 mug of iodate.     

Reverse flow injection spectrophotometric determination of iodate and iodide in table salt

A very simple and sensitive reverse flow injection method is described for the determination of iodate and iodide. The iodate reacts with excess iodide in acidic medium to form tri-iodide, which can be spectrophotometrically monitored at 351 nm, and the absorbance is directly related to the concentration of iodate in the sample. The determination of iodide is based on oxidizing iodide to iodate. The calibration curve is linear in the range of 0.02-3.0 μg ml⁻¹ I with r²=0.9998, and the limit of detection is 0.008 μg ml⁻¹ I. The chemical and flow injection variables were studied and optimized to make the procedure suitable for quantitating iodate and iodide in table salts. It is shown that the reverse flow injection analysis could greatly improve the sensitivity and precision for determination of iodate with a relative standard deviation of 0.9%. A complete analysis, including sampling and washing, could be performed in 35 s. The procedure was applied successfully to the determination of iodate and iodide in table salts, and the results were statistically compared with results determined by standard iodometry method.     

Selection of optimum pH for the iodate determination using differential pulse polarography

The concentration of iodate in seawater samples was determined at various pH values using differential pulse polarography (DPP). The sensitivity for the iodate determination decreased rapidly below pH 7 and above pH 9. The decrease below pH 7 may be caused by conversion of iodate to iodide, followed by the successive formation of I₂ and I₃ ^–. The decrease above pH 9 is probably due to the combination of iodate and hydroxide. Theoretical calculations have demonstrated that the optimum pH for iodate determination is above pH 7.4 for Po₂ = 0.101 Pa.

Oszillopolarographischer nachweis und bestimmung von jodat und perjodat

The oscillopolarographic behaviour of periodate and iodate has been investigated in acid, neutral and alkaline electrolytes. The detection and determination of periodate in iodate may be carried out using iodate as electrolyte and the detection and determination of iodate in periodate may be carried out using 5 M sodium hydroxide as electrolyte.     

Determination of sulphide by anion-exchange with lead iodate

A quick anion-exchange reaction, suitable for the determination of sulphide, has been found to occur on stirring a suspension of lead iodate (solubility product, K(s0) = 1.2 x 10(-13)) with sulphide solution at pH 5-8. After removal of the precipitates of lead iodate and lead sulphide (K(s0) = 3.4 x 10(-28)), the iodate released can be determined by its reaction with acidified iodide to give tri-iodide which is either titrated with thiosulphate or measured spectrophotometrically as its blue complex with starch. Chloride, bromide, iodide, fluoride, oxalate, sulphate, thiocyanate and phosphate do not interfere. Thiosulphate, sulphite, nitrite and thiols do not give an anion-exchange reaction but do interfere in the redox reaction of iodate with acidified iodide. However, this is avoided if they are first oxidized with bromine (the liberated iodate remains unaffected before iodometry.     

Investigation of iodine liberation process in redox titration of potassium iodate with sodium thiosulfate

Potassium iodate is often used as a reference material to standardize a sodium thiosulfate solution which is a familiar titrant for redox titrations. In the standardization, iodine (triiodide) liberated by potassium iodate in an acidic potassium iodide solution is titrated with a sodium thiosulfate solution. The iodine liberation process is significantly affected by the amount of acid, that of potassium iodide added, the waiting time for the liberation, and light; therefore, the process plays a key role for the accuracy of the titration results. Constant-voltage biamperometry with a modified dual platinum-chip electrode was utilized to monitor the amount of liberated iodine under several liberation conditions. Coulometric titration was utilized to determine the concentration of a sodium thiosulfate solution on an absolute basis. Potassium iodate was assayed by gravimetric titration with the sodium thiosulfate solution under several iodine liberation conditions. The liberation process was discussed from the changes in the apparent assay of potassium iodate. The information of the appropriate titration procedure obtained in the present study is useful for any analysts utilizing potassium iodate to standardize a thiosulfate solution.

Microchemical determination of lodate and iodide in sea waters by flow injection analysis

A flow injection analysis method for iodate and iodide in sea water is described. The system involves spectrophotometric detection based on the catalytic, fading effect of either iodate or iodide on the indicator reaction of iron (III) thiocyanate and nitrite. With and without an anion-exchange column in the flow conduit, the system allows the determination of iodate and total iodine, respectively; iodide can be found by difference. Both iodate-iodine and total iodine can be determined in the range 0.75 to 150 g/1 on the sea water basis with analysis times of 20 min for iodate-iodine and 9 min for total iodine. The RSDs are within 1.3% for both iodate and iodide. Results are presented for the determination of iodate and iodide in sea waters and some brines associated with natural methane gas evolution.     

Application of the two stage ascorbic acid-iodate titration to the determination of iodine and iodide

Summary An extension of the two stage titration of ascorbic acid against iodate to the determination of iodine and iodide in a solution is described. A known excess of ascorbic acid, standardized against iodate, is added to a mixed iodine and iodide solution and the excess ascorbic acid together with the total iodide is titrated against the same iodate to the two end points under controlled conditions of acidity. The differential method of calculation gives the amount of iodine and iodide with a blank and a direct titration. The accuracy of the results provides a useful evidence for the mechanism suggested for the two stage titration of ascorbic acid against iodate.Our sincere thanks are due to Professor S. S. Joshi for kind interest in the work.     

Colorimetric determination of fluoride employing thorium lodate and the linear starch-iodine system

Fluoride ion can be determined colorimetrically by reaction with solid thorium iodate in 1:1 ethanol-water solvent to release iodate ion, reduction of the iodate with iodide in acid solution, and formation of the starch-iodine blue complex. By using different dilutions of the reaction solution fluoride ion can be measured from approximately 0.15 to 6.0 ppm. The color system is stable and reproducibility is good. A number of common anions interfere seriously with the method.     

Simultaneous determination of iodide and iodate in seawater by transient isotachophoresis-capillary zone electrophoresis with artificial seawater as the background electrolyte

We developed capillary zone electrophoresis with transient isotachophoresis (ITP) as an on-line concentration procedure for simultaneous determination of iodide and iodate in seawater. The effective mobility of iodide was decreased by addition of 20 mM cetyltrimethylammonium chloride to an artificial seawater background electrolyte so that transient ITP functioned for both iodide and iodate. Limits of detection for iodide and iodate were 4.0 and 5.0 microg/l (as iodine) at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. Values of the relative standard deviation of peak area, peak height, and migration times for iodide and iodate were 2.9, 1.3, 1.0 and 2.3, 2.1, 1.0%, respectively. The proposed method was applied to simultaneous determination of iodide and iodate in seawater collected at a pond at our university.     

Sensitive kinetic-spectrophotometric determination of iodate in iodized table salt based on its accelerating effect on the reaction of bromate with chloride ion in the presence of hydrazine.

A simple, precise, sensitive and accurate method was developed for rapid determination of trace quantities of iodate. The method is based on the accelerating effect of iodate on the reaction of bromate and chloride acid in the presence of hydrazine in acidic media. The decolorization of Methyl Orange with the reaction products was used to monitor the reaction spectrophotometrically at 525 nm. Iodate could be determined in the concentration ranges of 0.03 - 1.2 microg ml(-1). The relative standard deviation for ten replicate determinations of 0.3 microg ml(-1) of iodate was 1.65%. The proposed method was applied to the determination of iodate in table salts with satisfactory results.     

Nature of hydration shells of a polyoxy‐anion with a large cationic centre: The case of iodate ion in water

The structural nature of the solvation shells of an iodate ion, which is known to be a polyoxy‐anion with a large cationic centre, is investigated by means of Born–Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (BOMD) simulations using BLYP and the dispersion corrected BLYP‐D3 functionals. The iodate ion is found to have two distinct solvation regions around the positively charged iodine (iodine solvation shell or ISS) and the negatively charged oxygens (oxygen solvation shell or OSS). We have looked at the spatial, orientational, and hydrogen bond distributions of water in the two solvation regions. It is found that the water orientational profile in the ISS is typical of a cation hydration shell. The hydrogen bonded structure of water in the OSS is found to be very similar to that of the bulk water structure. Thus, the iodate ion essentially behaves like a positively charged iodine ion in water as if there is no anionic part. This explains why the cationic character of the iodate ion was prominently seen in earlier studies. The arrangement of water molecules in the two solvation shells and in the intervening regions around the iodate ion is further resolved by looking at structural cross‐correlations. The electronic properties of the solvation shells are also looked at by calculating the solute–solvent orbital overlap and dipole moments of the solute and solvation shell water. We have also performed BOMD simulations of iodate ion‐water clusters at experimentally relevant conditions. The simulation results are found to be in agreement with experimental results. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Determination of iodate and sulphate in iodized common salt by ion chromatography with conductivity detection

A simple, rapid and accurate method for the determination of iodate in iodized common salts has been developed. The quantitative determination of iodate was accomplished by anion exchange chromatography with conductimetric detection. The method requires a sample pretreatment for the removal of large excess of chloride from the sample matrix. Onguard silver cartridges were found most suitable for this purpose. The sulphate content in the salt was simultaneously determined. The lower limits for the determination of iodate and sulphate in solution are 0.5 and 0.05 mug ml(-1), respectively. Quantitative recovery of the anions in synthetic samples has been obtained and the interferences from different cations and anions have been studied. The method has been successfully applied to the determination of iodate and sulphate in the commercially available salts. The concentrations of iodate measured by this method are in good agreement with those claimed by the manufacturer.     

Role of thiols (cysteine and teiourea) in the mechanism of the periodic decomposition reaction of hydrogen peroxide by potassium iodate in an acid medium

We have investigated the kinetics of the oxidation of cysteine and thiourea by an excess of potassium iodate under conditions corresponding to the production of auto-oscillations of concentration. First-order rate constants have been calculated for the disulfide oxidation of cystine by potassium iodate and of the disulfide of formamidine, the primary oxidation product of thiourea. It is shown that thorough oxidation of disulfides by iodate can occur and its stoichiometry is investigated. A new oscillating chemical system has been discovered, containing potassium iodate, hydrogen peroxide, thiourea, and a mixture of sulfuric and hydrochloric acids.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Eksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 26, No. 1, pp. 51–56, January–February, 1990.
