The determination of perchlorates and iodides present together in industrial wastes is hampered by the fact that these anions either are precipitated by the same organic reagents or form colored complexes with similar absorption maxima. Determining them by separation or by deducting one from their sum is a multi-step analysis which takes more time and decreases accuracy. In this paper, the authors report a rapid, single-step determination of co-present perchlorate and iodide by precipitative titration with nitron solution and potentiometric indication of the equivalence point by a perchlorate-selective membrane electrode. The perchlorate and iodide determinations were unaffected by surfactant, suspensions, and ions not precipitated with nitron. A single analysis takes 15-20 minutes. This method may also be used for analyzing single salts.
