Dalzin has been used for the determination and separation of a number of metals 1. Further investigation has shown that palladium can be quantitatively precipitated from hot solutions by Dalzin at pH 3.1--4.5, while most of the common ions and other platinum metals remain in solution. Copper, mercury and silver interfere, but the interference of copper can be eliminated by complexing with EDTA and precipitating palladium at a pH below 4.5. Nickel and zinc can be determined in the filtrate alter raising the pH as usual. EXPERIMENTAL
Chemicals used were all of A.R. quality. A palladium solution was prepared from palladium chloride (Johnson and Matthey) and standardized gravimetrically as palladium dimethylglyoxime, pH measurements were made with Philips pH meter.
Composition o/ palladium complex Palladium was precipitated at pH ca. 4 by the method given below and the precipitate was dried at io5 ~ to constant weight. A weighed quantity was decomposed with aqua regia and evaporated several times with concentrated hydrochloric acid and the residue was taken up with this acid and diluted to IOO ml. Palladium in the solution was determined by the dimethylglyoxime method. The complex was found to have the composition Pd(CsH12N4S2) H20 (Pd. calc. 3o.22%, found 29.93%).
Determination o/ palladium The palladium chloride solution (3o-6o mg Pd) was neutralised with ammonia and diluted to about Ioo ml and the pH was adjusted with a freshly prepared solution of citric acid. The solution was heated on a water-bath and 25 ml of a hot alcoholic I.o% solution of the reagent was added with constant stirring. The brick-red precipitate was allowed to settle and was filtered through a weighed sintered glass crucible. Filtrates were kept for pH determinations. The precipitate was washed with hot water and acetone, dried at lO5 ~ and weighed (Pd factor ~ o.3o22). The results are shown in Table I. Anal. Chim. Acta, 23 (196o) 531-533
