Abstract
Thallium(I) shows strong fluorescence in a solution which is 3.3 M in HCl and 0.8 M in KCl. The excitation wavelength is 253 nm and the wavelength selected for the fluorescence 438 nm. Due to the strong absorption at 253 nm by thallium(III) a reductometric rather than an oxidimetric titration will lead to a correct fluorimetric end-point indication. The precision and the selectivity of the titrimetric method are better than those of the corresponding methods based on the use of calibration curves. Traces of thallium down to 1 μg can be determined with good precision. The method can be used for the determination of thallium in urine at the ppm level.
