Complexometric determination of thallium(III) in pure solution,alloys, and complexes using semicarbazide hydrochloride as a releasing agent

A simple and accurate complexometric method is proposed for the determination of Tl(III) using semicarbazide hydrochloride as a releasing agent. In the presence of diverse metal ions, thallium is complexed first with a known excess of EDTA, and the surplus EDTA is then titrated with standard zinc sulfate at pH 5.0–6.0 (hexamine) using xylenol orange indicator. An excess of 5% aqueous neutral solution of semicarbazide hydrochloride is then added and the released EDTA is titrated against standard zinc sulfate solution. The method works well in the range 2–50 mg of Tl(III) with relative errors < 0.5%, standard deviations 0.05mg and coefficient of variation 0.4%. The method is applied for the determination of thallium content in complexes and alloy compositions     

Fluorimetric metal ion sensing usingN-methyl-9-anthrylhydroxamic acid

We have synthesizedN-methyl-9-anthrylhydroxamic acid, which is a fluorescent analogue ofN-methylbenzohydroxamic acid. Complexation with various di- and trivalent metal ions occurs (logK from 4 to 5) in water with resulting fluorescence quenching. Because the Fe(III) and Al(III) complexes substituted rather slowly, the addition of EDTA provides a temporal method for obtaining some selectivity in the chemosensor.     

Complexometric Determination of Mercury(II) Using 2-Mercaptopropionylglycine as a Selective Masking Reagent

 A selective complexometric method for the determination of mercury(II) in the presence of associated metal ions is reported, based on the selective masking ability of 2-mercaptopropionylglycine (MPGH₂) towards mercury. Mercury, along with other associated metal ions, is first complexed with excess of EDTA and the surplus EDTA is back titrated at pH 5–6 (hexamine buffer) with standard zinc sulfate solution using xylenol orange as indicator. An aqueous 1% solution of MPGH₂ is then added to displace EDTA selectively from the Hg-EDTA complex and the released EDTA is titrated with the same standard zinc sulfate solution. Reproducible and accurate results are obtained for 4–85 mg of mercury with a relative error of ≤ 0.26% and coefficient of variation not exceeding 0.42%. The interferences of various cations and anions are studied. The method is used for the analysis of mercury in its complexes and alloy samples. Received August 30, 2000.

Indirect complexometric determination of cadmium(II) using 1,10-phenanthroline as selective masking agent

An indirect complexometric method is described for the determination of cadmium(II), 1,10-phenanthroline being used as masking agent. Cadmium(II) in a given sample solution is initially complexed with an excess of EDTA and the surplus EDTA is titrated with lead nitrate solution at pH 5.0–6.0 (hexamine), using xylenol orange as indicator. An excess of 1,10-phenanthroline is then added and the EDTA released from the Cd-EDTA complex is titrated with standard lead nitrate solution. Results are obtained for 1.5–57 mg of Cd with relative errors 0.90% and standard deviations 0.06 mg. Cu(II), Co(II), Hg(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Pd(II), Tl(III), Au(III) and Sn(IV) interfere, but can be easily masked. The method is applied for the determination of cadmium in synthetic alloy solutions.     

Selective complexometric determination of mercury using sodium nitrite as masking agent

A complexo-titrimetric method for the determination of mercury(II) in the presence of other metal ions is described based on the selective masking ability of sodium nitrite. Mercury and other ions are initially complexed with an excess of EDTA and the surplus EDTA is titrated with Pb(NO₃)₂ solution at pH 5.0–6.0 using xylenol orange as indicator. An excess of solid NaNO₂ is then added to decompose the Hg(II)-EDTA complex and the released EDTA is titrated with standard Pb(NO₃)₂ solution. Accurate results were obtained for 10–65 mg of mercury with relative errors <0.3% and standard deviations < 0.03 mg. Sn(IV) and Pd(II) interfere but can be easily masked. The method is applied for the determination of Hg(II) in its alloy compositions and complexes.     

Complexometric determination of mercury(II) in waters by spectrophotometry of its dithizone complex

This paper presents a new method for the determination of Hg(II) in waters, using indirect spectrophotometric measurements of the Hg(II) dithizone complex. The reagent is a mixture of dithizone, CDTA (1,2-cyclohexylene-dinitrilo-tetraacetic acid), thiourea, ethylic alcohol and glycine. Sensitivity and working range are 0.4 g · l^–1 and 2–100 g · l^–1, respectively. A comparison of the results with those of the cold-vapor atomic absorption spectrometry shows a good correlation for different samples revealing only small interferences. The new method is well suited for on-line measurements, easy to run and has low cost equipment.

采用柠檬酸络合法制备了La1-xSrxFeO3(x=0,0.1,0.3,0.5)的纳米粒子催化剂,采用TG/DTA、XRD、SPM以及比表面仪等技术表征了这些纳米晶的物化性质及微观结构,并研究了其对亚甲基蓝紫外光照射降解的光催化活性。结果表明:所得催化剂均为立方相,原子Sr替代钙钛矿A位La进入晶格中形成有限固溶体;采用Chekcell软件计算精修晶胞参数后,晶胞参数随Sr掺杂量增大而变大,制得催化剂比表面积为90~95m2/g;Sr最佳掺杂量为x=0.5,这时所形成的La0.5Sr0.5FeO3光催化剂经3h光照射后光降解率可达91.88%,比LaFeO3作为光催化剂提高了约27%。掺杂Sr后引起的晶格缺陷和结构缺陷(氧空位)浓度的增加是掺杂Sr后的LaFeO3具有高效光催化活性的主要原因。
