Abstract

The minimum on the polarographic curves for Bi(III) reduction in HCl solutions occurring when small amounts of surfactants are present can be used for their quantitative determination. The form of the polarograms was examined with respect to the concentration of the surfactant, and the range of concentrations in which the method of determination can be used is discussed.
