Determination of microgram quantities of gadolinium by cathode-ray polarography
1M.R.C. Cyclotron Unit Hammersmith Hospital Ducane Road, London W12 0HS U.K.
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 0sd1M 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 mug/ml of gadolinium. Interferences by some lanthanides and other cations have been examined.

Precipitation Gravimetry
In determining nickel by gravimetric analysis, a precipitant of ethanolic dimethylglyoxime is added to a hot nickel salt solution. This is quickly followed by the dropwise addition of dilute ammonia solution until precipitation occurs. A...
