Abstract:

The discoloration mechanism of spectrophotometric determination of trace manganese by ammonium persulfate oxidation is discussed in detail through experimental verification. The results show that hydrogen peroxide produced by the thermal decomposition of supersulfate ions leads to the discoloration of permanganate ions, using KIO4 instead of ammonium persulfate as oxidant to determine trace manganese can not only avoid the fading phenomenon of MnO4, but also obtain accurate determination results.

Key words: Ammonium persulfate, Trace manganese, Fading mechanism, Potassium periodate
