Summary

Indirect Determination of Oxygen Dissolved in Water by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

O2 dissolved in aqueous medium reacts quantitatively with thallium metal according to O2+4 Tl+2 H2O →4 Tl++4 OH−. The reaction takes place in a glass column filled up with small pieces of sheet metal. The Tl+ formed is measured by atomic absorption spectrometry. We study the influence of several factors (pH, temperature, salinity of the water). The results obtained from a statistical sample were compared with those provided by the amperometric method for direct determination of dissolved O2 and we found a high degree of consistency between them.
