Zusammenfassung

Es ist bekannt, daß bei der colorimetrischen Bestimmungsmethode [21] sowohl KI als auch SnCl2 die Entwicklung von Stibin vollständig verhindern. Bei der hier beschriebenen Reduktion mit Hilfe einer NaBH4-Tablette maskiert jedoch KI (mit oder ohne Hydroxylaminzusatz) Störungen durch SnCl2 sowie durch zahlreiche andere Ionen. Die Eichkurve verläuft bis zu 0,04 μg Sb/ml linear. Der Variationskoeffizient beträgt 2,4 %. Als Anwendungsbeispiel wird die Antimonbestimmung in Flußsedimenten erwähnt.

Summary

The masking effect of potassium iodide with or without hydroxylamine on the interferences in the atomic-absorption spectrophotometric determination of antimony via its hydride by sodium borohydride tablet reduction has been studied. It has been well known in the conventional colorimetric method [21] that both potassium iodide and stannous chloride completely suppress the evolution of stibine. However, in this sodium borohydride tablet reduction, potassium iodide plays a role in masking the interferences of not only stannous chloride but also other numerous ions. By the procedure established here, the calibration curve was linear up to a concentration of 0.04μg/ml of antimony with the coefficient of variation of 2.4 %. The method was successfully applied to the determination of antimony in a river sediment.
