摘要

A kinetic spectrophotometric method for the simultaneous determination of iodate and periodate in mixtures was proposed. The method is established on the different kinetic behaviours of the analytes which react with starch-iodide in the presence of sodium chloride in sulfuric acid medium. The kinetic data were collected from 260 to 900 nm every 10 nm, within a time range of 0-180 s at 1 s interval, and the absorbance collected at 291, 354 and 585 nm, respectively, increased linearly with the concentration between 0.1-1.2 mg L-1 for both iodate and periodate. The mechanism investigation revealed that the iodate/periodate-iodide-starch system is a consecutive reaction. Subsequently, the mathematical model for the quantitative kinetic determination based on the consecutive reactions by utilizing chemometric methods was deduced, and the simultaneous determination of synthetic mixtures of iodate and periodate was then applied. Kinetic data collected at 291, 354 and 585 nm, were processed by chemometric methods, such as classical least square (CLS), principal component regression (PCR), partial least square (PLS), back-propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN), radial basis function-artificial neural network (RBF-ANN) and principle component-radial basis function-artificial neural network (PC-RBF-ANN). The results showed that calibration model with the data collected at 354 nm had some advantages for the prediction of the analytes as compared with the ones of other two wavelengths, and the PLS and PC-RBF-ANN gave the lower prediction errors than other chemometric methods. The proposed method was applied to the simultaneous determination of iodate and periodate in several real samples; and the standard addition method yielded satisfactory recoveries in all instances.
