Summary

An indirect bromometric method for the determination of nitrate or perchlorate is described. A known excess of standard nitron acetate solution is added to the sample solution to precipitate the anion to be determined; the excess of reagent is then determined in the supernatant liquid by bromatometric titration. The relative standard deviation of the method is 0.7% for nitrate and 0.5% for perchlorate. Sulphate, phosphate and fluoride do not interfere and chloride does not interfere up to a concentration of 0.1 M. Bromide, iodide, chromate, nitrite and chlorate interfere but can be eliminated.

Zusammenfassung

Ein indirektes bromatometrisches Verfahren zur Bestimmung von Nitrat oder Perchlorat wurde beschrieben. Ein gemessener Überschuß einer Nitronacetatlösung bekannter Konzentration wird zur Fällung des Anions der Probe zugesetzt und im Überstand bromatometrisch zurücktitriert. Die rel. Standardabweichung beträgt 0,7% für Nitrat und 0,5% für Perchlorat. Sulfat, Phosphat und Fluorid stören nicht; Chlorid stört nicht bis zu 0,1-m Konzentration. Bromid, Jodid, Chromat, Nitrit und Chlorat stören zwar, können aber eliminiert werden.
