A new method is described for the determination of indium based on the cathodic adsorptive stripping of I&II) complexed with 2',3,4',5,7pentahydroxyflavone (mot-in) at a static mercury drop electrode. Optimal conditions were found to be: accumulation potential, -0.30 V (vs. Ag/AgCl); final potential, -1.00 V, accumulation time, 60 s; scan rate, 200 mV/s; linear scan mode; filter, 0.1 s; supporting electrolyte, acetic acid-acetate (0.1 M, pH 3.5); concentration of morin, 1 X 10m5 M. The response of the system was found to be linear in a range of In concentrations from 0 ppb to 40 ppb. The detection limit was found to be 0.4 nM (0.05 ppb) with 5 min of accumulation time. This is compared to a detection limit of 6.9 nM (0.8 ppb) for simple anodic stripping under the same conditions. The effect of various potential interferences (including a variety of cations, anions and organic surfactants) were also studied. At less than equimolar concentrations no significant interferences were observed. AIJ+ Ti4+ Sc3+ and uranyl were found to interfere at concentrations larger than that of In, but may be masked by fluoide. The observed interference by V5+ may be masked by cyanide. The method was applied to a sample of jarosite (an industrial residue from the refinement of zinc ore) which is known to contain significant quantities of indium.
