Spectrophotometric determination of osmium: Sulphanilic acid as a reagent

Sulphanilic acid has been found to be a very effective reagent for the spectrophotometric determination (if hexavalent and octavalent osmium in the pH range between 1.8 – 3.5. In these two valence states, the element forms a dark-violet complex with the reagent, the absorption maximum of the complex being at 490 mμ.

Rapid Spectrophotometric Determination Of Osmium With Cyclohezane 1,3-Dione Bisthiosemicarbazone Monohydrochloride: Simultaneous Determination of Osmium and Platinum

Abstract

A simple, sensitive and rapid spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of osmium using cyclohexane 1,3-dione bisthiosemicarbazone mono-hydrochloride (1,3-CHDT.HCl). The method is based on the instantaneous colour reaction between 1,3-CHDT. HCl and osmium(VIII) in sodium acetate—acetic acid buffer medium (pH range 3–6). The osmium complex shows maximum absorbance at 375 nm and considerable absorbance at 510 nm. Although the complex formed between platinum(IV) and reagent (1,3-CHDT.HCl) shows maximum absorbance at 375 nm, it does not show any absorbance at 510 nm. Simultaneous determination of osmium and platinum is carried out when present alone and in presence of other foreign (associated) ions. Some physico-chemical and analytical characteristics of osmium and platinum complex are described. Interference of various foreign ions have studied and osmium is estimated selectively in the presence of constituents of platinum ores.

Colorimetric determination of copper(II) ions by filtration on sol-gel membrane doped with diphenylcarbazide

A simple and sensitive colorimetric method for the determination of trace copper(II) ions in aqueous solution has been developed using diphenylcarbazide (DPC) immobilized sol-gel matrices. To enhance the odds of chelating interactions between copper(II) ions and DPC, a peristaltic pump was utilized to drive copper(II) ions solution pass through the cellulose acetate/nitrate membrane, which was coated with DPC immobilized sol-gel matrices. The membrane was sandwiched in a home-made flow cell. The porous silica matrix serves as a preconcentrator, and enriches the trace copper(II) ions. Meanwhile, the filtration increases the chelating interaction probability between copper(II) ions and DPC, thereby improves the sensitivity significantly. After the formation of purple complex compound, the color changes of the DPC immobilized sol-gel membrane were recorded using a flatbed scanner. The images were digitized, and the red (R), green (G), and blue (B) values were investigated. The colorimetric method provides a rapid and reliable determination of trace copper(II) ions with a detection limit as low as 0.16 μM and a kinetic range up to 1.6 μM in neutral medium. Moreover, the method shows good selectivity, and the color changes of the DPC immobilized sol-gel membranes are remarkable for the copper(II) ions detection even in the presence of other metal ions.
