Abstract
A rapid volumetric method has been worked out for the indirect determination of 0.25–2.5 mg of gold in presence of many common ions. It is based on the reduction of gold(III) to metal with excess of cobalt(II) in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline at pH 3 and 50°, and estimation of the unreacted cobalt(II) in the filtrate by visual, potentiometric or biamperometric titration with standardized cerium(IV) sulphate solution. It has been found that there is no interference from Ni(II), Pb(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Mn(II), Mg(II), Ca(II), Al(III), Cr(III), Ti(IV), V(V) and W(VI). Interference due to Pd(II) and Ag(I) can be eliminated. Fe(III), Cu(II), Mo(VI), Hg(II) and Pt(IV) interfere, even present in small amounts.
