title: [Determination of water soluble silicon from herbal drugs].
abstract: This article has set up a method for silicon determination by ammonium molybdate-ferrous sulfate-sodium carbonate spectrophotometry. The method is simple, convenient, quick, effective and free of the influence of phosphate ion and reducing agents such as vitamin C and so on. By this method water soluble silicon has been determined in 38 herbal drugs.
