The authors studied the possible employment of various compounds containing sulfur as masking agents for divalent and trivalent metals, in the titration of thorium with EDTA. Reagents studied were thioglicolic acid, 3-mercaptopropionic acid, 2-mercaptoethanol, 2,3-dimercaptopropanol, BIS (2-hydroxy ethyl) dithlocarbamate, ethylxantate, thionalid, thiourea and thiosulfate.The ones which proved more efficient were 2,3-dimercaptopropanol and BIS (2-hydroxyethyl) dithiocarbamate.
