Summary

An automatic spectrophotometric reaction-rate method is described for the ultramicrodetermination of manganese(II). The method is based on the potassium periodate-diethylaniline reaction which is catalyzed by manganese. The time required for the reaction to produce a small fixed amount of colored product is measured automatically and related directly to the manganese concentration. Maximum tolerable amounts of interfering ions were determined. Ultramicro amounts of manganese in the range 3–30 ng were determined with relative errors of about 2% and measurement times of 15–150 seconds. The coefficient of variation was 1.0%. The method was applied for the determination of manganese in natural waters.

Zusammenfassung

Eine automatische spektrophotometrische Methode der Reaktionszeitmessung für die Ultramikrobestimmung von Mangan(II) wurde beschrieben. Sie beruht auf der durch Mn katalysierten Umsetzung von Kaliumperjodat mit Diäthylanilin. Die für die Bildung einer bestimmten kleinen Menge gefärbten Produktes nötige Zeit wird automatisch gemessen und daraus auf die Mn-Konzentration geschlossen. Die maximal erlaubten Mengen störender Ionen wurden ermittelt. Mangan läßt sich in Mengen von 3 bis 30 ng mit einem relativen Fehler von ungefähr 2% bestimmen. Die zu messenden Reaktionszeiten betragen dann 15 bis 150 Sekunden. Der Variationskoeffizient beträgt 1,0%. Die Methode wurde zur Mn-Bestimmung in natürlichen Wässern verwendet.
