Copper-complexation index as a polarographic summation parameter for the determination of chelating agents in water
Abstract
Polarography of the copper(II)-complexes of chelating agents is shown to be a suitable basis for a sum- mation parameter for the total concentration of these chemicals in water (expressed as the copper-complexation index). Using 12 chelating agents (ATMP, BAED, CDTA, DTPA, DTPMP, EDTA, EDTMP, EDTP, EGTA, HEDP, NTA, PBTCA ) all listed in DIN 38409-H26 and DIN 38413-P5 a satisfactory reproducibility of the method used was obtained. In addition several commercial tensides, detergents in washing and deliming products were investigated.
