An indirect complexometric method is described for the determination of cadmium(II), citric acid being used as masking agent. Cadmium(II) in a given sample solution is initially complexed with an excess of EDTA and the surplus EDTA is titrated with lead nitrate solution at pH 5.0-6.0 (hexamethylene tetramine), using xylenol orange as indicator. An excess 1% citric acid solution is then added and the EDTA released from the Cd-EDTA complex is titrated with standard lead nitrate solution. Results are obtained for 4.24-21.20 mg of cadmium with relative errors +/- 0.47% and standard deviations <= 0.05 mg. The method is applied for the determination of cadmium in alloys and alloy compositions as well as in its complexes.
