The invention discloses a method for rapidly detecting the
zinc content of a solution. The method comprises the following steps of: (1) taking a
volumetric flask with content of 5ml to 100ml of solution test samples, adding 20ml of
ammonium chloride mixed saturated solutions, further adding 20ml of
ammonia water, diluting to scales by using
distilled water, and uniformly mixing; (2) filtering the solutions into a flask of 100ml by using rapid
filter paper, and discarding 10ml of primary filtrate during
filtration; (3) taking the filtrate into a conical flask of 20ml to 250ml by using a transfer
pipette, and adding one to two drops of
xylenol orange solutions, and subsequently adjusting the solutions into yellow by using
hydrochloric acid in a ratio of 1:1; (4) adding 0.5g of
solid ascorbic acid, and adjusting into red by using
ammonia water in a ratio of 1:1; (5) further adding 20ml of
sodium thiosulfate solutions of 200g / L and 20ml of
acetic acid-
sodium acetate buffer solutions with a pH of 5.5-6.0 into the conical flask; and (6) finally titrating by using a standard EDTA (
Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid) solution and ending till the solution turns to luminous yellow from red. Only five minutes are taken to accomplish the detection process, and the detection result accords with that of a traditional detection method, with good reliability.
