Add 25 ml of 6 M nitric acid (4.3) and 2.5 g of sodium bismuthate (4.5) to the 400 ml beaker containing the test solution. Stir vigorously for three minutes on the magnetic stirrer (5.2).
Add 50 ml of 0.3 M nitric acid (4.4) and stir again. Filter in vacuo through a crucible (5.1), the bottom of which is covered with Keiselguhr (4.6). Wash the crucible several times with the 0.3 M nitric acid (4.4) until a colourless filtrate is obtained.
Transfer the filtrate and the washing solution into a 500 ml beaker. Mix and add 25 ml of 0.15 M ferrous sulfate solution (4.8). If the filtrate turns yellow after the addition of ferrous sulfate, add 3 ml of 15 M orthophosphoric acid (4.7).
Using a burette, titrate the excess ferrous sulfate with 0.02 M potassium permanganate solution (4.9) until the mixture turns pink, the colour remaining stable for one minute. Perform a blank test under the same conditions, omitting only the test sample.
Note:The oxidized solution must not come into contact with rubber.
