Thiomalic acid is shown to be a suitable reagent for the quantitative precipitation of zirconium from dilute nitric or hydrochloric acid solution. Common anions like chloride, sulfate, and nitrate and most of the cations do not interfere. Interferences due to mercury(II) and thorium are easily eliminated. Bismuth is coprecipitated and is the only interfering element which must be eliminated by prior separation. The composition of the zirconium compound varies somewhat but corresponds approximately to zirconyl thiomalate. (auth)
