This paper describes a simple method of determination of thiocyanate content in wastewater. The thiocyanate content in wastewater was determined by Spectrophotometry in the 438nm wavelength with iron nitrate as colouring reagent and Tween-80 and acetone as stabilizer. Calibration curves are linear in the range 2--20 mg/L, Fe^3+ with the detection limit of 1 mg/L. The conditions of colour reaction on and SCN are also investigated in the presence of non-ionic surfactant Tween-80 and acetone. This method is very ideal for the determ...
