Influence of temperature on the photometric determination of silicon by the molybdenum blue methods

Abstract

Some systematic studies have been carried out on the influence of temperature on the photometric determination of silicon by the molybdenum blue procedure. It has been shown that temperature exerts a distinct influence on the colour intensities involved in the different procedures and the extent of this influence depends largely on the nature of the acid medium and the reducing agent employed. Ascorbic acid has been successfully employed to overcome the influence of temperature.
