Abstract: | The violet fluorescence at 480 mmu of lead in concentrated hydrochloric acid-potassium chloride solution (excitation maximum 270 mmu) provides a method for the spectrofluorimetric determination of 10-60mug of lead. The optimum conditions for the determination have been established, and the effect of 31 foreign ions examined at the 50-fold molar excess level. The interference from iron(III) and vanadium(V) is eliminated by addition of tin(II) chloride, and that of chromium(VI) by treatment with sodium sulphite. |
