Potassium thiocyanate titration solution is used in analytical chemistry for the determination of iron(III) ions via the formation of a blood-red iron(III)-thiocyanate complex, which enables colorimetric or spectrophotometric measurement for precise quantification of iron content in samples. It acts as a titrant in volumetric analysis, particularly in the Volhard method for argentometric titration of halide ions (chloride, bromide, iodide), where it reacts with excess silver ions following precipitation with silver nitrate. This facilitates accurate detection of halides in various matrices. As a source of thiocyanate ions, it is also valuable in photometric and potentiometric titration methods for other metal ions. Commonly applied in quality control of industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment products to ensure compliance and purity.
