Abstract
The use of 2 different iron adsorbants (Amberlite resin sponge and light magnesium carbonate) in the measurement of latent iron-binding capacity is compared. The Amberlite sponge was found to be an efficient and complete iron adsorbant. It apparently removed only minimal amounts of iron bound to siderophilin, whereas magnesium carbonate removed relatively large amounts of siderophilin-bound iron. The sponges were technically easy and convenient to use. The findings indicate that the Amberlite sponge is the preferable iron adsorbant.Keywords
