masking

Japanese: マスキング
masking

Also called shielding. Eliminating interference by applying an appropriate chemical treatment to coexisting components that interfere with the detection or quantification of the target component without removing them from the system. The reagent added for treatment is called a masking agent. A complexing agent that acts selectively on interfering components (mainly metal ions) is used as a masking agent. For example, when performing EDTA titration of alkaline earth metal ions, heavy metal ions such as Co 2+ , Ni 2+ , and Cu 2+ that interfere with the titration can be shielded by adding potassium cyanide as a masking agent. Other commonly used masking agents include ammonia, triethanolamine, EDTA, tartaric acid, and citric acid. In addition to shielding with a complexing agent, interfering ions can also be oxidized or reduced to change the ionic value and make them harmless, but in this case the added redox agent is often not called a masking agent.

Japanese:

しゃへいともいう.目的成分の検出,または定量を妨害する共存成分を系外に除去することなく,適当な化学的処理をほどこしてその妨害をなくすこと.処理のために加える試薬をマスキング剤という.マスキング剤としては,妨害成分(主として金属イオン)に対し,選択的に作用する錯形成剤が用いられる.たとえば,アルカリ土類金属イオンのEDTA滴定の際,これを妨害する Co2+,Ni2+,Cu2+ などの重金属イオンは,シアン化カリウムをマスキング剤として添加することによってしゃへいすることができる.マスキング剤としては,そのほか,アンモニア,トリエタノールアミン,EDTA,酒石酸,クエン酸などがよく利用される.錯形成剤でしゃへいするほか,妨害イオンを酸化または還元し,イオン価を変えて無害にする場合もあるが,この場合,加えられる酸化還元剤に対してはマスキング剤とよばないことが多い.
