Effects of diverse substances in the colorimetric analysis of F
- by zirconium-alizarin method and the analytical results of Iizaka-Hot Springs were investigated. (1) As to the effects of Fe
2+, Al
3+, Mn
2+, PO
43- and alkalinity the same results as hitherto known were obtained, but regarding the effect of SO
42- a different result was obtained. (2) It was found that the analytical result of F
- at pH below 2.85 by this method is unreliable and some new information about the effects of K
+, Na
+, Ca
2+, Mg
2+ and BO
2- was obtained. (3) Analytical results of F
- in Iizaka Hot Spring should be correct, because the samples diluted by distilled water were used and the same results has been obtained by the method of Th (NO
3)
4 titration.
