The determination of trace amounts of chloride by a rapid evolution-conductimetric procedure

Abstract

A procedure for determining microgram and submicrogram amounts of chloride is described, in which a conductimetric detector is used after the chlorine is evolved as hydrogen chloride. The relationship between conductivity and chloride present and the effect of possible interferences is discussed. Results obtained for organochloro compounds after oxygen-flask combustion and for an analytical-reagent grade sodium carbonate are presented.
