Abstract

There was a significant catalytic effect of trace Gd(III) ions on the oxidative reaction of potassium persulfate with Saffron T in the acetic acid–sodium acetate buffer solution. Thus, a catalytic kinetic fluorimetry method for the determination of trace Gd(III) ions was established. The factors such as acidity, concentration of reagents, reaction time, and temperature as well as influence of coexisting ions were discussed. The optimum reaction conditions were established. The apparent rate constant and apparent activation energy of the reaction were determined. The linear range is 0.02–0.10 μg·ml−1, and the detection limit is 7.27 × 10−4 μg·ml−1. This method was used for the determination of gadolinium in the samples of lanthanum acetate with RSD of 0.9%–3.1%.
