Abstract

A method is proposed for the titrimetric determination of BAL with zinc solution and Eriochrome Black T (EBT) as indicator. It is based on the difference of the stabilities of the Zn(BAL)a and Zn-EBT complexes. The accuracy of the method is very good and the interference of diverse mercaptans is limited to those compounds forming zinc complexes more stable than the Zn-EBT complex.
