In this paper a simple and rapid method is described for the determination of lead in monazite. A monazite sample was dissolved with hot concentrated sulfuric acid and diluted to 200 ml with distilled water. Lead is quatitatively separated by coprecipitating with strontium. Lead-strontium sulfate is dissolved in 3N NaOH soluion. An excess Zn-EDTA is added. The remaining zinc ion is titrated with standard 0.01 M EDTA solution using xylenol orange as indicator at pH 5 in the presence of KCN and acetyl acetone as masking agents.
