Coulometric titration of gold with electrogenerated chloro-cuprous ion

A method for the coulometric titration of +3 gold to the metallic state with clectrolytically generated chloro cuprous ion is described Quantities of gold from as little as I mg to 100 mg or more were titrated in a volume of 100 ml with an average error of ± 0.3%.The titration is applicable to the determination of gold in the presence of large amounts of copper, silver, mercury, lead, and most of the elements with which gold commonly is associated. Small amounts of +4 platinium (less than half the amount of gold) are innocuous, but larger quantities of platinum produce a large positive error
