title: Photometric and fluorimetric kinetic determination of manganese by means of the oxidation of sodium 4,8-diamino-1,5-dihydroxyanthraquinone-2,6-disulphonate.
abstract: Three kinetic methods for the determination of manganese, two of them by photometric monitoring and another by fluorimetric monitoring, based on the oxidation of sodium 4,8-diamino-1,5-dihydroxyanthraquinone-2,6-disulphonate are described. A critical comparative evaluation of both monitoring techniques and their effect on the analytical figures of merit of the methods has been made. Manganese contents between 6.5 and 21.7 ng ml can be determined with relative standard deviation of +/- 3.7%. Under appropriate working conditions, the fluorimetric method can be satisfactorily applied to the determination of manganese in environmental samples of tap water and workroom metallic fumes.
