Title:
METHOD FOR DETECTING LEAD PRESENT IN SPECIMEN
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/050026
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In a method for detecting lead using rhodizonic acid, even in the case where Sn is present in a specimen, pink or red coloration by reaction of lead with rhodizonic acid is made clearly observable. To cope with it, an acidic aqueous solution in which hydrogen peroxide coexists or a buffer thereof (for example, tartaric acid) is used as a reagent. The hydrogen peroxide oxidizes Sn2+ to Sn4+. Sn4+ does not react with rhodizonic acid, therefore, the existence of Sn does not hinder the visual observation of pink or red coloration by reaction of lead with rhodizonic acid.
