Studies on metallochromic indicators-III Hematoxylin and hematein.
The use of hematoxylin and hematein as metallochromic indicators in direct EDTA titration of Zr(4+), Th(4+), Bi(3+), VO(+), Ga(3+), In(3+), Al(3+), Pb(+), Zn(2+), Mn(2+), Cd(2+), Cu(2+), Ni(2+), Co(2+), Mg(2+), and a few rare earths is described. Aluminium is titrated directly in presence of acetate buffer, lactic or glycoliic acid being used as auxiliary complexing agent. Mixtures of two metal ions can be titrated if one is Bi(3+) and the other Al(3+), Pb(2+), Zn(2+), Cu(2+), Cd(2+), La(3+), Ce(3+), Pr(3+), Nd(3+), Sm(3+), Gd(3+) or Er(3+). Aluminium alloys can be analysed via EDTA titrations, with these indicators.
