This method is for the determination of chloride from drinking, surface, and saline waters, domestic and industrial wastes. Thiocyanate ion (SCN) is liberated from mercuric thiocyanate through sequestration of mercury by chloride ion to form un-ionized mercuric chloride. In the presence of ferric ion, the liberated SCN forms highly colored ferric thiocyanate in concentration proportional to the original chloride concentration. The colored ferric thiocyanate is analyzed using by colorimetry using an automated ferricyande AAI instrument.
The applicable range is 1 to 250 mg/L. This range may be extended by sample dilution.
