Abstract

A reagent-free sorption photometric method for determining trace iron(III) in alkali-metal and ammonium thiocyanates was developed. The method consists in the adsorption of iron(III) thiocyanate complexes on polyurethane foams at pH 2–3 followed by the desorption of complexes with acetone and a measurement of the absorbance of solutions. The analytical range for iron was 0.5–20 μg in a 0.2–2.5-g portion of salt. The determination limit and relative standard deviation were 2 × 10–5% and 20–30%, respectively (n= 3; P= 0.95). The specific feature of the determination is that an additional photometric reagent is not introduced in the solution of the salt to be analyzed, because thiocyanate, that is, the matrix component of the test sample, acts as such a reagent.
