LITERATURE CITEDdirect titrations must oe performed in hot solutions (11).Fluoride Demasking. Fluoride masking is commonly used to eliminate the interference of aluminum, zirconium, and thorium with direct EDTA titrations. In the indirect determination of thorium, ammonium fluoride is used as a demasking agent as represented by the reaction:To determine the amount of fluoride necessary to demask EDTA stoichiometrically from the Th-EDTA com-
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
