Manuscript received 26 February 1973; accepted 26 .June 1973 A rapid and precise periodatometric determination of mercaptans is described. Samples were titrated in aqueous or dilute acetic acid medium with potassium periodate solation in dilute sulphuric acid. The blue colour with starch serves to detect the end point. Glucose, propylene glycol, acetaldehyde, carbondisulfide and elemental sulfur do not interfere. Thiocarbonyl comĀ­pounds and sulfocyanide ions interfere.
