New Simultaneous Catalytic Determination of Thiocyanate and Iodide by Flow Injection Analysis

Abstract
Flow injection analysis (FIA) with a double injection technique was applied to catalytic determination of thiocyanate and iodide in the redox reaction between cerium (IV) and arsenic (III). Selective inactivation of the catalytic activity of thiocyanate was investigated. Amounts of only iodide and amounts of both thiocyanate and iodide were simultaneously determined by the FIA. Detection limits of the method were 0.2 ppm SCN and 0.1 ppm I.
