Abstract

The inhibitory effect of EDTA (or EGTA) on the copper-catalysed oxidation of 4,4′-dihydroxybenzophenone thiosemicarbazone by hydrogen peroxide has been studied. The reaction is followed spectrophotometrically at 415 nm. EDTA and EGTA at the 10−6M level can be determined kinetically by two methods. The accuracy and precision are about 1% and 1.5% respectively. The method can be applied to the indirect determination of nickel and zinc in the range 130–300 ng/ml with acceptable results, by an indirect kinetic method.
