title: Determination of manganese in feedstuffs by flow injection spectrophotometry based on rapid formation of permanganate at room temperature.
abstract: A simple and rapid flow injection spectrophotometric procedure was developed for determination of manganese. In the presence of pyrophosphate and acetate, manganese was immediately oxidized to permanganate by periodate at room temperature in slightly alkaline medium. Under optimized conditions, the determination was made with a sampling rate of 120/h, a linear range of 0-30 mg/L Mn(II), a detection limit (S/N = 3) of 0.08 mg/L, and a relative standard deviation of 0.6% (n = 11) at 10 mg/L Mn(II). The proposed method was used to determine manganese in trace mineral premixes and feedstuffs. Results agreed well with those obtained by the standard atomic absorption spectroscopy method.
