A. Banerjee et al., DETERMINATION OF SUGAR ACIDS AND RELATED-COMPOUNDS BY VANADIUM(V) IN PERCHLORIC-ACID - THE PRODUCT ANALYSIS AND PROBABLE MECHANISM OF OXIDATION, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. A: Inorganic, physical, theoretical & analytical, 32(12), 1993, pp. 1099-1101
A mixture of the reductant and an excess of Na(or NH4)VO3 in dilute HC
lO4 has been slowly refluxed for 40 min and the residual metavanadate
determined iodometrically. The metavanadate has been standardised agai
nst either Na2S2O3 or the respective reductant of known strength for b
etter results. The product analysis, the probable reaction mechanism,
the methods for removal of interferants and the detection of adulteran
ts in aldoses have been reported.
