Abstract

A cathode-ray polarographic method has been developed for the determination of microgram quantities of gadolinium with the use of an azo-dye, Solochrome Violet RS. Disadvantages in the use of 0sd1 M potassium chloride, commonly recommended as electrolyte for the polarographic determination of rare earths, have been demonstrated. The influence of pH, temperature, ligand concentration and purity, and the stability of the complex, have been investigated for the optimum performance of the method. The linear range is 0·5–12 μg/ml of gadolinium. Interferences by some lanthanides and other cations have been examined.
