The estimation of lactic acid using ceric sulphate

Abstract
The effects of temperature and eerie sulfate concentration on the oxidation of lactic acid and of temperatures and rate of aeration on the removal of acetaldehyde from solutions were investigated. For satisfactory estimation of lactic acid w th ceric sulfate, the authors recommend an initial concentration of 0.05.[image] ceric sulfate, temperatures of 50 - 60[degree], aeration rate of 500-600 ml air/minute/reaction tube and aeration time of 45 minutes. A satisfactory alternative ceric sulfate method using steam distillation is described.
