Application of the H-point standard addition method to the speciation of Fe(II) and Fe(III) with chromogenic mixed reagents.
Simultaneous determination of Fe(II) and Fe(III) or selective determination of each oxidation state of iron in the presence of the other one by H-point standard addition method (HPSAM) is described. Mixed reagents of 1,10-phenanthroline and salicylic acid was used as a selective chromogenic system for speciation of Fe(II) and Fe(III). It was shown that with appropriate selection of wavelength pairs, both Fe(II) and Fe(III) can be considered as analyte. The results showed that Fe(II) and Fe(III) can be determined simultaneously with the concentration ratios of Fe(II) to Fe(III) varying from 10:1 to 1:20 in the mixed sample. The accuracy and precision of the method are all satisfactory.
