Abstract: A new method has been developed for determination of the trace iodine by oxidation-decoloration with Eriochrome black T. The color system had a maximum absorption at 510nm in the medium of sulfuric acid. Beer’s law was obeyed in the range of 0~1.0mg/L of iodine. The relative standard deviation was in the range of 0.24%~0.28%. The recovery was 98.7%~ 103.6%. The method could be used for determination of the trace iodine in salts.

Key words: eriochrome black T, iodine, oxidation-decoloration spectrophotometry
