Separation of lead sulphate from barium sulphate in their determination in glass

Abstract:
The conventional method for separation of lead from a combined lead and barium sulphate precipitate by extraction with ammonium acetate has been critically studied. The results show that quantitative separation of lead is possible only when the molar concentration ratio of barium to lead is 4.2 or above, but at ratios below 4.2 the method fails because of the formation of a solid solution of lead and barium sulphates which is maximal at initial mole-ratio 0.42. The lead in the solid solution, however, forms a strong soluble complex with EDTA and can be quantitatively separated. Based on this, a gravimetric method has been worked out for determination of lead and barium in glass.
