Abstract

A flow-injection method is reported for the determination of chlorite ion and chlorite and chlorate ions in mixtures at the submilligram per liter level in drinking water. The chlorite ion concentration is selectively determined by using its reaction with iodide ion at pH 2, which liberates iodine. Both species react with iodide ion in6 M HCl to produce iodine, the concentration of which is measured spectrophotmetricaly at 370 nm. The individual species are determined using multiplel regression. The method exhibits a linear range from 2 to 150 μM (0.1–10.1 mg l -1) for chlorite ion and from 2 to μM (0.1–8.3 mg l -1 for chlorate ion, with relative standard deviations of 0.4 and 1.2%, respectively.
