Abstract

The catalytic oxidation of 1-amino-2-naphthol-4-sulfonic, acid proceeds quickly with microgram amounts of iodide in the presence of sodium chlorate at pH between 1.3 and 2.0. The oxidation product shows a sensitive tensammetric wave at potentials of about +0.03 V vs. SCE (pH 1.75), so that the catalytic reaction was applied for the determination of microgram amounts of iodide ion. The most suitable conditions of the pH range, the concentration of ANS and sodium chlorate, reaction temperature and standing are 1.3–2.0, 3 × 10 −4 M, 0.05 M, 50° C and 1 h respectively. Using the recommended procedure, iodide ion can be determined precisely in the concentration range 0.4–6.5 ng ml −1 with a relative error of about 3%. Interference of foreign species and the application to the determination of total iodine in river and sea water are described.
