Résumé : Under the conditions outlined here, molybdenum chromatographed on Whatman paper No. 4, may be determined by absorption, within about ± 1%, for an amount of the order of 10 micrograms. The direct determination of this same quantity of molybdenum by titration can be made within about ± 3%. Separated from chromium and vanadium by chromatography, the precision of the titration after chromatography remains of the same order. The direct titration gains three hours over absorption. © 1953 Springer-Verlag.
