Flow-injection spectrophotometric determination of aluminium based on chrome azurol S and cetylpyridinium chloride

Acidic aluminium solutions (120 μl) are injected into a buffered (pH 5.7) carrier stream and merge with a chrome azurol S/cetylpyridinium chloride stream; a 2.25-m reaction coil is used with a total flow rate of 4 ml min ^?1. Ethanol (30% v/v) in the reagent stream enhances the absorbance of the ternary complex; the molar absorptivity is then 1.34×10 ⁵ l mol ^?1 cm ^?1 at 625 nm. Calibration is linear over the range 0–400 ng ml^?1 aluminium; the limit of determination is 5 ng ml ^?1. Iron is masked in the usual way; fluoride is tolerated at ˇ1 mg l ^?1. The injection rate is about 45 h^?1. The procedure appears to be applicable to tap water.     

Spectrophotometric determination of aluminium with chrome azurol s

A comprehensive investigation of the spcctrophotometric determination of aluminium with chrome azurol S is described. No heating is required for colour formation, and the method is considerably more reproducible and selective than either the eriochrome cyanine R or aluminon methods. In the presence of suitable masking agents, only Be²⁺, Zr⁴⁺, and F-cause serious interference. A molar absorptivity of 21,500 at 567.5 mμ was found for the aluminium-chrome azurol S lake, with a relative standard deviation of ± 0.4% at the 20 μg Al level. Beer's law is obeyed from 0 to 1.2 mg Al/ml.     

Spectrophotometric determination of cationic surfactants by formation of ternary complexes with Fe(III) and chrome azurol

An extraction-free spectrophotometric method for the determination of cationic surfactants, such as cetylpyridinium chloride, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and zephiramine is proposed, which is based on the formation of ternary complexes with Fe(III) and chrome azurol S. The molar ratio of the complex is 2:1:1 (Fe(III):chrome azurol S: cationic surfactant). The method is simple, rapid and sensitive, giving an apparent molar absorptivity of 4.5×10⁴ L·mol^?1-cm^?1 and a linear range of 0.1–6.0 μmol/L cationic surfactants. The total cationic surfactant content can be determined directly in aqueous solutions by measuring the absorbance at 680 nm (pH 5.8). The method has been successfully applied to water samples.     

Spectrophotometric determination of iron(III) with chrome azurol s or eriochrome cyanine r and some cationic surfactants

Sensitive spectrophotometric methods for the determination of iron(III), based on ternary complexes with a triphenylmethane reagent, chrome azurol S (CAS) or eriochrome cyanine R (ECR), and cetyltrimethylammonium (CTA) or cetylpyridinium (CP) ions, are described. For the system Fe—CAS—CTA, the molar absorptivity is 1.35 × 10⁵ l mol^-1 cm^-1 at 645 nm; for Fe—ECR—CTA it is 1.28 × 10⁵ l mol^-1 cm^-1 at 635 nm. Maximum absorbance is attained (at about pH 4) when the molar ratio (to iron) or CAS or ECR is about 20 and that of CTA or CP is 60–80. Citrate, tartrate, oxalate and EDTA interfere. Interference by metals (e.g. Be, Al, Ga, In, Sc, Zr, Th) can be eliminated by preliminary extraction of iron(III) as thiocyanate complex. The method was successfully applied to determining traces of iron in analytical-grade sodium hydroxide.

The metallochromic reagent chrome azurol S, when used in hexamine buffer at pH 4.9, reacts rapidly with monomeric and small polymeric forms of aluminium(III) in aged hydrolysed solutions.

The validity of the proposed method was tested by determining thorium in Certified Reference Materials.     

Development of an optical fibre Al(III) sensor based on immobilised chrome azurol S

Chrome azurol S immobilised on XAD-2 has been used in this study as a reagent phase for the development of an optical fibre Al(III) sensor. Using a kinetic approach, this sensor was able to give a linear response in the Al(III) concentration range of 1.3 x 10(-5)-2.0 x 10(-4) M with a limit of detection of 1.0 x 10(-4) M. The optimum responses were obtained at pH 6.0 and when the solution was stirred. The sensor response was found to have a repeatability and reproducibility of 1.6% and 5.8%, respectively. The results obtained for Al(III) determination in aqueous sample were in good agreement with those obtained using graphite furnace-atomic absorption spectrometry.     

Spectrophotometric determination of gallium(III) with carminic acid and hexadecylpyridinium chloride

A Spectrophotometric method is proposed for determining dipyridamole in pure form and in pharmaceutical preparations. Chromotrope 2B was used as a charge-transfer complex forming agent with absorption maximum 40 nm red shifted relative to the chromotrope 2B itself. The variables affecting the formation of the C.T. complex were studied and optimized. Linear calibration graphs were obtained up to 60 g ml^–1 at room temperature. The method was found to be accurate, precise and can be successfully used for authentic and pharmaceutical preparations in the working range up to 600 g.A conductimetric method using phosphotungstic acid as ion-associate forming agent is proposed. The relative average error is 1–2%. Water-ethanol (12) mixture was used as solvent. Excellent recoveries and low standard deviations were obtained. Working ranges are 40–260 mg and 35–110 mg for pure dipyridamole and tablets, respectively.On leave from Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Allepo University, Allepo, Syria
