Summary

An improved method for the determination of reductant soluble iron-phosphate in the Chang and Jackson's inorganic phosphate fractionation procedure is described.

The Use of HClO4 eliminates the use of H202 which is usually highly contaminated with phosphorus.

A highly significant correlation was established between the HClO4 method and that of Peterson and Corey of using 0.25 M KmnO4.
