Abstract:
Eight sensitive methods of spectrophotometric determination of thallium have been studied and compared experimentally. The comparative criteria were: molar absorptivity, colour contrast of the basic reaction, working concentration interval and practical determination limit for thallium, precision of the method (the standard deviation), and selectivity. According to these criteria the best methods of extraction-spectrophotometric determination of thallium are those using Brilliant Green, Crystal Violet, Methyl Violet and Rhodamine B. The sensitivity depends very much on the oxidant used for conversion of Tl(I) into Tl(III). The oxidants suitable for each of the recommended methods are discussed.

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a result, EDTA...
