Simultaneous kinetic-spectrophotometric determination of periodate–bromate and iodate–bromate mixtures using the H-point standard addition method

The H-point standard addition method (HPSAM), based on spectrophotometric measurement, for simultaneous determination of periodate–bromate and iodate–bromate mixtures is described. This method is based on the difference between the rates of their reactions with iodide in acidic media. The results showed that simultaneous determinations could be performed with the ratio 1:15–12:1 for periodate–bromate and 15:1–1:15 for iodate–bromate. The proposed method was successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of periodate–bromate and iodate–bromate in water and synthetic samples.
