Spectrophotometric studies on the complexation equilibria of Ni and Pb with 2-carboxy-2-hydroxy-5'-sulfo-formazylbenzene. Simultaneous determination of trace amounts of Ni and Pb

Spectrophotometric studies have been made to investigate the reaction of Nickel and Lead with 2-carboxy-2'-hydroxy-5'-sulfoformazyl-benzene (zincon) in 50%(v/v) ethanol-water at 25 degrees C and an ionic strength of 0.1 M NaClO4. A complete picture of the complexation equilibria in the pH range (4.2-12.0) for nickel and (1.9-11.5) for lead are presented. Simple, rapid, selective and sensitive methods for the spectro-photometric determination of nickel and lead has been developed based on the color reaction of their complexes with zincon. The methods allow the determination of 4.69 microg mL(-1) of nickel at pH = 6.3 (lambdamax = 665 nm) and 10.3 microg ml(-1) of lead at pH = 5.6 (lambdamax = 610 nm). The apparent molar absorptivities were epsilon = 1.3 x 10(4) L mol(-1) cm(-1) for nickel and epsilon = 0.6 x 10(4) L mol(-1) cm(-1) for lead. The interference of a large number of foreign ions and complexing agents has been studied. Thiosulphate, as masking agent allows the simultaneous determination of nickel and lead in the presence of high concentrations of copper. Ascorbic acid, sodium cyanide and or sodium fluoride provide the elimination of many other interferences. The methods have been applied successfully to the simultaneous determination of nickel and lead in an aluminium and non-ferrous alloy.     

Determination of cobalt and nickel by graphite-furnace atomic absorption spectrometry after coprecipitation with scandium hydroxide.

Trace amounts of cobalt and nickel in a water sample were quantitatively coprecipitated with scandium hydroxide at pH 8.0-10.5. Because the coprecipitant could be easily dissolved with 1 mol dm(-3) nitric acid, and the presence of up to 10 mg cm(-1) of scandium did not interfere with the graphite-furnace atomic absorption spectrometric determination of cobalt and nickel, the volume of the final solution prepared for the determination could be minimized down to 0.5 cm3. The concentration factor was 400-fold and the detection limits (signal to noise = 2) were 5.0 pg cm(-3) of cobalt and 10.0 pg cm(-3) of nickel in 200 cm3 of the initial sample solution. The 27 diverse ions investigated did not interfere with the determination in at least a 500-fold mass ratio to cobalt or nickel. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of trace amounts of cobalt and nickel in river-water samples.

The extract has maximum absorbance at 435 nm. Both systems can be used for determining gallium. The optimal range of gallium concentration for measurement in a 1-cm cell is 0.5-1.25 gmg/ml for the procedure in homogeneous medium ((425) = 3.76 x 10(4).mole(-1).cm(-1)) and 0.25-1.25 mug/ml for the extraction procedure ((435) = 5.30 x 10(4) 1.mole(-1).cm(-1). The latter procedure has been applied to the determination of gallium in alloys and fly-ash.

Spectrophotometric determination of nickel in biological samples using 1-azobenzene-3-(3-hydroxyl-2-pyridyl)-triazene

A new sensitive and selective chromogenic reagent, 1-azobenzene-3-(3-hydroxyl-2-pyridyl)-triazene (ABHPT), was synthesized. It has been found that ABHPT reacts with nickel(II) in a borax buffer solution (pH 10.0) to form 2: 1 red complexes with the maximum absorption at 530 nm. The apparent molar absorptivity of the complex is 2.6 × 10⁵ L/(mol cm). Most metal ions can be tolerated in considerable amounts, whereby only zinc and mercury may interfere with the determination of nickel(II). Nevertheless, this can be easily eliminated by prior separation with sulfhydryl dextran gel. A new method for the spectrophotometric determination of trace nickel(II) was developed.

Interaction of nickel with 4-(2'-benzothiazolylazo) salicylic acid (BTAS) and simultaneous first-derivative spectrophotometric determination of nickel(II) and iron(III)

The solution properties of nickel complex with 4-(2'-benzo-thiazolylazo) salicylic acid (BTAS) have been studied by zero-order absorption spectrophotometry in 40% (v/v) ethanol at 20 degrees C and an ionic strength of 0.1 mol dm(-3) (KNO(3)). The equilibria that exist in solution were established and the basic characteristics of complexes formed were determined. A new direct spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace amounts of the nickel is proposed based on the formation of the Ni (BTAS) complex at pH 7.0. The absorption maximum, molar absorbtivity, and Sandell's sensitivity of 1:1 (M:L) complex are 525 nm, 0.6 x 10(4) l mol(-1) cm(-1) and 2.824 x 10(-9) microg cm(-2), respectively. The use of first-derivative spectrophotometry eliminates the interference of iron and enables the simultaneous determination of nickel and iron using BTAS. Quantitative determination of Ni(II) and Fe(III) is possible in the range (0.59-7.08) and (2.1-8.4) microg ml(-1), respectively with a relative standard deviation of 0.5%. The proposed method has been successfully applied to the simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of nickel and iron in steel alloys and aluminum alloys.     

Reverse flow-injection manifold for spectrofluorimetric determination of aluminum in drinking water

A simple reverse flow-injection (rFIA) manifold for the direct determination of aluminum in drinking water is proposed. This rapid and sensitive method is based on the formation of an Al(3+) complex with salicylaldehyde picolinoylhydrazone (SAPH), which shows a maximum blue-green fluorescence (lambda(ex)=384 nm, lambda(em)= 468 nm) at pH 5.4. Operative conditions both for batch and rFIA procedures were investigated including reagent concentration, buffer solutions, injection loop, reacting coil and wavelengths used for the fluorimetric detection. The tolerance limits of foreign ions have been also evaluated, before and after the addition of masking agents. The reverse flow-injection procedure allows determination of Al(3+) at ppb level (LOD: 1.9 mug l(-1)) within a working range of 5-30 mug l(-1). The proposed method was successfully employed for the determination of Al(3+) in several commercial drinking, soft drinking (as certified reference material), and tap water samples.

Dioxouranium together with copper(II), nickel(II) and iron(II) were extracted in chloroform as complexes of bis(salicylaldehyde)-dl-stilbenediimine (dl-H2SA2S) or bis(salicylaldehyde)-meso-stilbenediimine (meso-H2SA2S), and separated by liquid chromatography with UV detection. The linear calibration range and detection limits were 40 - 200 ng and 10 ng/injection for each metal ion. The method was applied to the determination of uranium from mineral ore samples at concentrations of 30 - 700 microg/g with coefficients of variation from 3.6 to 5.5%. The relative elution of dioxouranium complexes of different Schiff bases was examined from reversed-phase HPLC; the substitution of methyl and phenyl groups at the bridge position enhanced the column retention of uranyl complexes.
