Ds. Nair et al., SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF TRACE AMOUNTS OF CADMIUM WITH IODIDE AND METHYL VIOLET, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. A: Inorganic, physical, theoretical & analytical, 33(5), 1994, pp. 445-446
A selective spectrophotometric method based on the interaction of an a
nionic iodo complex of cadmium with methyl violet has been described f
or the determination of trace amounts of cadmium. The developed method
is precise, accurate and has been applied to determination of cadmium
at trace levels (25 ppb) in sea water and high purity samples of indi
um and zinc materials.
