ABSTRACT PART I GRAVIMETRIC DETERMINATION OF PALLADIUM WITH DI-2-THIENYLKETOXIME In this work the reaction between palladium(II) and di-2- thienylketoxime in strong hydrochloric acid solution to form dichlorobis (di-2-thienylketoxime-N, N') palladium(ll) in quantitative yield has been applied to the gravimetric deter mination of palladium in the presence of a large number of diverse cations and anions. A statistical comparison has also been made between the developed procedure and the standard dimethylglyoxime procedure for bivalent palladium. The procedure was studied to determine such factors as oxime solubility and complex solubility in acidic alcohol solutions, effect of pH, effect of alcohol concentration, effect of reagent concentration, range of palladium concentration applicable and effect of stirring time. 11 Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

PART II , GRAVIMETRIC DETERMINATION OF GOLD WITH DI-2-THIENYLKETOXIME The reaction between di-2-thienylketoxime and gold(ill) ion has been studied in order to set up a gravimetric method for the determination of gold. The precipitate formed was analyzed for carbon hydrogen and gold. The reagent and gold reacted quantitatively to precipitate gold. This fact was used to set up a gravimetric procedure for determining gold in the presence of a large number of diverse cations and anions. A statistical study has also been made on the developed procedure. The procedure was studied to determine such factors as variation of reagent concentration, range of gold concent ration applicable, best oven temperature for drying, temper ature limits for developing the complex and development time. PART III NEPHELOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF GOLD WITH DI-2-THIENYLKETOXIME In this work the reaction between gold(lll) and di-2- thienylketoxime has been applied to the nephelometric determination of gold. A large number of cations and anions iii Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. were tested. The procedure was studied to determine such factors as effect of gelatin as a stabilizing reagent, effect of pH, time of developing, optimum concentration of reagent, temperature effects, optimum dioxane content and reproducibil ity.
