Sensitive spectrophotometric kinetic determination of osmium by catalysis of the pyrogallol red-bromate reaction

Osmium(VIII) is determined by means of its catalytic effect on the oxidation of pyrogallol red (PGR) by potassium bromate at pH 6.0, 30°C and 545 nm. The decrease in absorbance of PGR (2.5 × 10^?5 M) in the presence of KBrO₃ (0.20 M) over a period of 0–150 s is proportional to the concentration of osmium(VIII) over the range 0–1400 ng ml^?1. The limit of detection of osmium was 0.65 ng ml^?1. The precision and accuracy of the method are described. The effects of the presence of 45 cations and anions on osmium determination were studied. The effects of probable interferences were completely removed by a single extraction of osmium as osmium tetraoxide into isobutyl methyl ketone and back-extraction into sodium hydroxide solution.     

Flow injection catalytic spectrophotometric simultaneous determination of nitrite and nitrate

A new flow injection catalytic spectrophotometric method is proposed for the simultaneous determination of nitrite and nitrate based on the catalytic effect of nitrite on the redox reaction between crystal violet and potassium bromate in phosphoric acid medium and nitrate being on-line reduced to nitrite with a cadmium-coated zinc reduction column. The redox reaction is monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the decrease in the absorbance of crystal violet at the maximum absorption wavelength of 610 nm. A technique of inserting a reduction column into sampling loop is adopted and the flow injection system produces a signal with a shoulder. The height of shoulder in the ascending part of the peak corresponds to the nitrite concentration and the maximum of the peak corresponds to nitrate plus nitrite. The detection limits are 0.3 ng ml⁻¹ for nitrite and 1.0 ng ml⁻¹ for the nitrate. Up to 32 samples can be analyzed per hour with a relative standard deviation of less than 2%. The method has been successfully applied for the simultaneous determination of nitrite and nitrate in natural waters.

The method is free from most interferences, especially from large amounts of nitrate. The procedure was successfully applied to the determination of trace nitrite in natural water and sausage samples without preconcentration and separation.

The results obtained by the PLS and OSC-PLS were statistically compared. The effects of various cations and anions on iodate and periodate determination have been investigated.     

Kinetic and mechanistic study of the chlorpromazine-hydrogen peroxide reaction for the catalytic spectrophotometric determination of iodide

Extensive kinetic studies were performed to investigate the mechanism of the chlorpromazine (CP)-hydrogen peroxide reaction utilized in the catalytic determination of iodide. This reaction proceeds by two independent, parallel reactions, one through the formation of a red free radical, another directly to form the colorless product. The red color formation is catalyzed by traces of iodide. The color formation reaction was followed by measuring the increase in absorbance at 525 nm and its kinetic investigations were carried out by the initial rate method. The reaction rate curves for colorless sulfoxide formation were obtained by following the increase in absorbance at 335 nm, and the analysis was carried out by the integration method. The disappearance rate of CP is given by -d[CP]dt = k₃[I⁻[H₂O₂][H⁺] + k₆[CP][H₂O₂][H⁺] + k₉[CP][H₂O₂][H⁺] + k₁₀[CP][H₂O₂], where the first and second terms correspond to the chromogenic reaction and the third and fourth to colorless sulfoxide formation. Mechanisms consistent with each term were proposed and analytical implications of the kinetic studies are discussed.

Development of sequential injection spectrophotometric method for determination of mercury (II) using pyrogallol red

A sequential injection analysis (SIA) spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace amount of mercury (II) with pyrogallol red (PGR) was described. The method was based on the measurement of absorbance of the mercury (II)–PGR complex, yielding a light yellow-coloured product at pH 9.0 with absorption maximum at 370 nm. The SIA parameters affecting the signal response were optimised in order to obtain the better sensitivity and minimum reagent consumption. The linear range for determination of mercury (II) was over the range of 0.1–2.0 mg L^?1. The limit of detection and limit of quantification, calculated following IUPAC were 0.06 and 0.10 mg L^?1, respectively. The repeatability was 1.25% (n = 10) for 0.5 mg L^?1 of mercury (II). The proposed method was successfully applied to determine the mercury (II) in commercial cosmetics, local Thai traditional medicines and water samples with a sampling rate of 40 h^?1. Results obtained were in justifiable agreement with those obtained by the official ICP-MS method at the 95% confidence level.     

Effect of quaternary ammonium salts on spectrophotometric characteristic of pyrogallol red and bromopyrogallol red

The spectrophotometric characteristic and acid-base properties of pyrogallol red and bromopyrogallol red in the absence and presence of quaternary ammonium salts are described. The presence of quaternary ammonium salts changes the dissociation of reagent to a more acid region. The bathochromic shift of absorption spectra of PR and BPR is dependent on the length of the hydrocarbon radical but is strongly dependent on the hydrophilic group of quaternary ammonium salt.
