Abstract: | Dissolved iodine in sea water, about 60 μg L-1, usually exists in equal proportions as iodate and iodide ions. For their determination several techniques have been proposed (Riley, 1975); among them the volumetric one which depends upon the release of elementary iodine by the addition of acid and iodide ions to the iodate present in the sample. The liberated iodine is titrated with thiosulphate the equivalence point being detected photometrically (Matthews and Riley, 1970; Wong and Brewer, 1974) or it can also be reduced with an excess of thiosulphate and the residual thiosulphate back-titrated with iodate amperometrically (Barkley and Thompson, 1960; Truesdale and Spencer, 1974; Tsonkova and Kulev, 1981). To titrate total iodine in the sample the iodide must be previously oxidized to iodate with bromine (Barkley and Thompson, 1960; Tsonkova and Kulev, 1981) or permanganate (Schnepfe, 1972). In the amperometric procedure Truesdale and Spencer (1974) observed that platinum electrodes often do not respond reliably. |
