Abstract
Graphite and platinum sensors were investigated as indicators in the potentiometric titration of fluoride vs lanthanum(III) and thorium(IV). In every case a partially nonaqueous medium yielded larger breaks than in aqueous solution, similar to the fluoride electrode. All the sensors yielded endpoint breaks which were smaller than those obtained with a fluoride ion-selective electrode. The largest breaks were obtained with the vitreous carbon, pyrolytic graphite, and platinum sensors. Conditioning in neutral permanganate solution significantly enhanced the breaks for all types of graphite, except vitreous carbon. The break obtained with the platinum electrode can be enhanced by application of a polarizing current of 2.0 μA in the reducing direction.
