Abstract: In a sulfuric acid medium, oxalate exhibits a strong catalytic effect on the oxidation of p-chloride aniline (ClBN) by dichromate, and the red oxidation product of ClBN has a maximum absorbancy at 520 nm.Based on this founding, a new FI method for determining oxalate was developed.A calibration curve of oxalate in the range of 0.40-17.0 tg/mL was obtained.The detection limit was 0.10 μg/mL.Sampling rate was 103-samples/h.The possible interference by the co-existing substances or ions was examined.This new method was applied to the determination of micro amounts of oxalate in real samples with satisfactory results.
