Abstract: | A square wave voltammetric method whith a static mercury drop electrode (SMDE) was developed for the quantitative determination
of iron (III) in Zn-Fe alloy galvanic baths. Real alloy bath samples were analyzed by the standard addition method and recovery
tests were carried out. 0.50 mol L–1 sodium citrate (pH 6.0) or 0.20 mol L–1 oxalic acid (pH 4.0) were applied as supporting electrolytes resulting in both cases in a peak potential of about –0.20 V
vs. Ag|AgCl (saturated KCl). The iron (III) concentration in the alloy bath was 9.0 × 10–4 mol L–1. A good correlation (r = 0.9999) was achieved between the iron (III) concentration and the peak current in the electrolytes
studied, with linear response ranges from 1.0 × 10–6 to 1.2 × 10–4 mol L–1. Interference levels for some metals such as copper (II), lead (II), chromium (III) and manganese (II) that can hinder the
Zn-Fe alloy deposition were evaluated; only copper (II) interferes seriously.
