Summary
A rapid method for the amperometric determination of copper with mandelamidoxime is described. About 0.5–8.0 mg copper(II) at a concentration of ca. 0.8–3.2 mM can be determined with accuracy (error less than ± 1%) in an ammonium chloride — ammonia buffer medium using a simple manual apparatus with a microammeter (0–50 μA) of large scale for measuring the current. Direct titration of copper is possible only in the presence of cadmium while in the presence of all other commonly associated elements preliminary separation is necessary.
