Extraction and spectrophotometric determination of ruthenium and osmium with thiobenzhydrazide

Ruthenium forms a pink complex with thiobenzhydrazide in hot 1.0-4.5M hydrochloric acid medium, which can be extracted with chloroform, and the extract shows maximal absorbance at 520 nm. The chloroform-extractable osmium-thiobenzhydrazide complex formed at pH 2.3-4.8 shows maximal absorption at 385 nm as well as at 480-490 nm. The colour of the extracts of both the complexes is stable for more than 24 hr and can be employed for the spectrophotometry of ruthenium and osmium in the presence of a considerable excess of diverse ions commonly associated with them. Ruthenium and osmium can be quantitatively separated from one another with thiobenzhydrazide.

Highly sensitive catalytic spectrophotometric determination of ruthenium

A new and highly sensitive catalytic kinetic method (CKM) for the determination of ruthenium(III) has been established based on its catalytic effect on the oxidation of l-phenylalanine (l-Pheala) by KMnO(4) in highly alkaline medium. The reaction has been followed spectrophotometrically by measuring the decrease in the absorbance at 526nm. The proposed CKM is based on the fixed time procedure under optimum reaction conditions. It relies on the linear relationship where the change in the absorbance (DeltaA(t)) versus added Ru(III) amounts in the range of 0.101-2.526ngml(-1) is plotted. Under the optimum conditions, the sensitivity of the proposed method, i.e. the limit of detection corresponding to 5min is 0.08ngml(-1), and decreases with increased time of analysis. The method is featured with good accuracy and reproducibility for ruthenium(III) determination. The ruthenium(III) has also been determined in presence of several interfering and non-interfering cations, anions and polyaminocarboxylates. No foreign ions interfered in the determination ruthenium(III) up to 20-fold higher concentration of foreign ions. In addition to standard solutions analysis, this method was successfully applied for the quantitative determination of ruthenium(III) in drinking water samples. The method is highly sensitive, selective and very stable. A review of recently published catalytic spectrophotometric methods for the determination of ruthenium(III) has also been presented for comparison.     

Extraction and spectrophotometric determination of cobalt with dithizone

Cobalt(II) in acetate-tartrate buffer (pH 6.0-7.3) is extracted quantitatively as cobalt(III) dithizonate with excess of dithizone in CCl(4). The molar absorptivity in the CCl(4) phase is 4.6 x 10(4) 1.mole(-1).cm(-1) at the absorption maximum 550 nm. The calibration graph is linear for 1-10 mug of cobalt in 10 ml of CCl(4) when excess of dithizone is removed by back-extraction with 0.01M aqueous ammonia. Most interferences can be overcome by (a) initial extraction with dithizone at pH 1.3, (b) selective back-extraction into hydrochloric acid (pH 1 to 2), (c) oxidation of iron and tin to iron(III) and tin(IV) and addition of fluoride to complex the former, and (d) selective reaction of nickel dithizonate with 1,10-phenanthroline in the CCl(4) phase followed by back-extraction of nickel into 0.1M acid. The method has been applied to determination of cobalt in a copper-nickel-zinc alloy and a nimonic alloy.

Extraction and spectrophotometric determination of vanadium(V) with ferron

Various metal complexes of 7-iodo-8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulphonic acid (ferron) were found to be selectively extracted into immiscible alcohols. Vanadium(V) is almost completely extracted into n-butanol in a single extraction from solutions which are 0.05 M in sulphuric acid. A sensitive and selective spectrophotometric method can be based on this extraction. Beer's law is obeyed up to 15.3 μg of vanadium per ml; the sensitivity of the color reaction is 0.011 μg of vanadium per cm² at 430 mμ. The interference of iron(III) can be eliminated by adding excess pyrophosphate. The extracted species appears to contain vanadium, ferron and n-butanol in the ratio 1:2:4.

Extraction and flame spectrophotometric determination of palladium and rhodium

Solvent extraction methods involving toluene, chloroform, 4-methyl-2-pentanone and pentyl acetate were studied for palladium and rhodium chelates. The palladiurn-salicylaldoxime chelate was extracted quantitatively into 4-methyl-2-pentanone at pH 3. The rhodium-diethyldithiocarbamate chelate was completely extracted into 4-methyl-2-pentanone at pH 8. The optimum combustion conditions for each of the organic extracts were then studied. The position of maximum emission intensity in the flame mantle was determined for each chelate and solvent system ; readings were taken at 363.5 mμ for palladium, and 369.2 mμ for rhodium. For palla-dium, when 4-methyl-2-pentanone was used instead of water as solvent, the emission intensity increased 21-fold. For rhodium, this kctone increased the sensitivity 27 times compared with water. A method is suggested for the separation and determination of palladium and rhodium in the same sample.     

Direct spectrophotometric determination of ruthenium in aqueous streams of nuclear reprocessing

A fiber optic aided spectrophotometric technique has been developed for determination of ruthenium in nitric acid medium. The developed method is simple, accurate and applicable to aqueous streams of nuclear reprocessing. The system obeys Lambert–Beer’s law at 468 nm in the concentration range of 30–360 μg/mL of ruthenium. The molar absorption coefficient, detection limit and Sandell’s sensitivity are 68.477 L Mol^?1 cm^?1, 31 μg/mL and 0.0124 μg/cm² respectively. Relative standard deviation was less than 2 % and correlation coefficient was 0.9998. The results obtained by the developed procedure are in good agreement with those obtained by the standard ICP-OES method. Fission products like zirconium and strontium are not interfering. Uranium is interfering and needs prior separation by solvent extraction method. The developed method is adaptable for remote operation and on-line monitoring.
