Abstract: Based on the catalytic effect of trace tin on discoloring reaction of arsenazo M with potassium bromate in 0.08mol/L sulphuric acid solution, a method for the determination of trace cerium(IV) by kinetic spectrophotometry was studied. The detection limit was 0.5 μg/L and the linear range of determination is 0.0~20 μg/L for cerium(IV). Combined with polyurethane foam to absorb and separate cerium(IV), the method has been applied to the determination of trace cerium (IV) in human hair, tea and rice samples with satisfactory results.

Key words: cerium(IV), kineticspectrophotometry, arsenazo M, potassium bromate
