Abstract: | The use of sodium citrate as a reagent for the separation of silver group metals has been described. Silver, lead and mercurous ions are all capable of forming soluble citrate complexes, but they differ in their stability. The lead complex is not decomposed by soluble chlorides, whereas silver and mercurous complexes yield the insoluble chlorides. The fact that lead sulphate is soluble in a hot solution of sodium citrate has been utilized for the detection of lead, when present as insoluble sulphate, in a mixture. |
