The separation of W(V) from HCl-KSCN medium on polyurethane foam sorbents for its spectrophotometric determination in steels and silicates

A simple procedure for selective sorption of tungsten is described. The method involves reduction of W(VI) to W(V) with tin(II) chloride (2%, w/v) at 8-9M hydrochloric acid, formation of the W(V)-SCN complex with 0.2M KSCN and its sorption on polyurethane foam within 20 min. The sorbed complex is then eluted with acidified acetone (1 ml of 1M hydrochloric acid and 8 ml of acetone) followed by addition of 1 ml of 0.1M KSCN to the eluent. The method has been applied to the spectrophotometric determination of tungsten in steels and silicates by measuring the absorbance of the eluted solution at 400 nm. Beer's law is obeyed for the range 0.1-12 mug W/ml. Other elements, e.g., Co(III) (50 mug/ml), Cu(II) (10 mug/ml), Ti(IV) (20 mug/ml), V(V) (10 mug/ml) and Mo(VI) (0.5 mug/ml) have no effect on the method. Interference of copper, up to 100 mug/ml has been eliminated by masking with thiourea and that due to molybdenum by prior separation with thioglycollic acid on PUF. The method has been verified with standard samples.     

Speciation, liquid-liquid extraction, sequential separation, preconcentration, transport and ICP-AES determination of Cr(III), Mo(VI) and W(VI) with calix-crown hydroxamic acid in high purity grade materials and environmental samples

A new functionalized calix[6]crown hydroxamic acid is reported for the speciation, liquid-liquid extraction, sequential separation and trace determination of Cr(III), Mo(VI) and W(VI). Chromium(III), molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI) are extracted at pH 4.5, 1.5 M HCl and 6.0 M HCl, respectively with calixcrown hydroxamic acid (37,38,39,40,41,42-hexahydroxy7,25,31-calix[6]crown hydroxamic acid) in chloroform in presence of large number of cations and anions. The extraction mechanism is investigated. The various extraction parameters, appropriate pH/M HCl, choice of solvent, effect of the reagent concentration, temperature and distribution constant have been studied. The speciation, preconcentration and kinetic of transport has been investigated. The maximum transport is observed 35, 45 and 30 min for chromium(III), molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(IV), respectively. For trace determination the extracts were directly inserted into the plasma for inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, ICP-AES, measurements of chromium, molybdenum and tungsten which increase the sensitivity by 30-fold, with detection limits of 3 ng ml⁻¹. The method is applied for the determination of chromium, molybdenum and tungsten in high purity grade ores, biological and environmental samples. The chromium was recovered from the effluent of electroplating industries.     

Organophosphinic,phosphonic acids and their binary mixtures as extractants for molybdenum(VI) and uranium(VI) from aqueous HCl media

Extraction studies of uranium(VI) and molybdenum(VI) with organophosphoric, phosphinic acid and its thiosubstituted derivatives have been carried out from 0.1–1.0M HCl solutions. The extracted species are proposed to be UO₂R₂ and MoO₂ CIR on the basis of slope analysis for uranium(VI) and molybdenum(VI), respectively. The extraction efficiencies of PC-88A, Cyanex 272, Cyanex 301 and Cyanex 302 in the extraction of molybdenum(VI) and uranium(VI) are compared. Synergistic effects have been studied with binary mixtures of extractants. Separation of molybdenum(VI) from uranium(VI) is feasible by Cyanex 301 from 1M HCl, the separation factor log being 2.3.     

Determination and comparison of stability constants of tungsten(VI) and molybdenum(VI) with nitrilotriacetic acid and glutamic acid at different ionic strengths

The formation constants of species formed in the systems H⁺?+?W(VI)?+?nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) and H⁺?+?NTA have been determined in aqueous solution for pH?=?4–9 at 25°C and different ionic strengths ranging from 0.1 to 1.0?mol?dm^?3 NaClO₄, using potentiometric and spectrophotometric techniques. It was shown that tungsten(VI) forms a mononuclear 1?:?1 complex with NTA of the type WO₃L^3? at pH?=?7.5. The composition of the complex was determined by the continuous variations method. The complexation of molybdenum(VI) with glutamic acid was investigated in aqueous solution ranging in pH from 4 to 9, using polarimetric, potentiometric and spectrophotometric techniques. The composition of the complex was determined by the continuous variations method. It was shown that molybdenum(VI) forms a mononuclear 1?:?1 complex with glutamic acid of the type MoO₃L^2? at pH?=?6.0. The dissociation constants of glutamic acid and the stability constants of the complex were determined at 25°C and at ionic strengths ranging from 0.1 to 1.0?mol?dm^?3 sodium perchlorate. In both complex formation reactions the dependence of the dissociation and stability constants on ionic strength is described by a Debye-Huckel type equation. Finally, a comparison has been made between the patterns of ionic strength dependence for the two complexes and the results have been compared with data previously reported.

Extraction of Molybdenum(VI) from Aqueous-Peroxide Solutions of Sodium Tungstate with Trialkylamine

The extraction of molybdenum(VI) from aqueous-peroxide solutions of sodium tungstate with a trialkylamine-isooctyl alcohol mixture in kerosene was studied in relation to the ratio of the organic and aqueous phases, hydrogen peroxide and hydrogen chloride consumption, and the ratio of molybdenum(VI) and tungsten (VI) in the aqueous phase. A method for additional purification of the raffinate to remove molybdenum was developed.     

Simultaneous voltammetric determination of Mo(VI) and W(VI) by adsorptive differential pulse stripping method using adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system

An adsorptive differential pulse stripping method is proposed for the simultaneous determination of molybdenum and tungsten based on the formation of their complexes with a novel proton transfer compound, [phenH]⁺[pyzdc]^?, containing both pyrazine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline. The optimum experimental conditions were obtained using 0.052 mM [phenH]⁺[pyzdc]^? ligand, pH 3.3, accumulation potential of ?0.1 V versus Ag/AgCl, accumulation time of 60 s and scan rate of 33.3 mV/s. An adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was utilized for the analysis of the voltammogram data. The detection limits were 4.0 ng/mL for Mo(VI) and 3.0 ng/mL for W(VI). The influence of potential interfering ions on the determination of molybdenum and tungsten was studied. The procedure was applied to the simultaneous determination of molybdenum and tungsten in some water samples.     

Kinetics of reduction of transition metal ions by sodium tetrahydroborate. Reduction of molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI)

Summary The kinetics of reduction of molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI) ions by NaBH₄ in buffered aqueous solution have been investigated. The reaction rate depends upon the first powers of the concentrations of the reactants. The temperature was varied, and the activation parameters were evaluated. Chemical and spectral evidence for the formation of molybdenum(V) and tungsten(V), as the reaction products, is presented. Plausible mechanistic pathways for these reactions are suggested.     

Pyrogallol red and bromopyrogallol red in new optical methods for the determination of molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI)

The complexation of molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI) with pyrogallol red (PR) and bromopyrogallol red (BPR) in the presence of a cationic surfactant, cetylpyridinium bromide was studied. Conditions of the preconcentration of molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI) as complexes with PR and BPR on Silochrom S-120 were found. The concentration coefficients were no lower than 67 for a volume of the aqueous phase of 20 mL and a mass of the sorbent of 0.3 g. Chromaticity characteristics of the complexes in solutions and on the sorbent were determined. It was demonstrated that the complex of molybdenum(VI) with BPR in the presence of cetylpyridinium bromide should be used in the analysis of materials with low concentrations of molybdenum.     

Catalytic determination of molybdenum(VI) by means of an iodide ion-selective electrode and a landolt-type hydrogen peroxide-iodide reaction

A trace amount of molybdenum(VI) can be determined by using its catalytic effect on the oxidation of iodide to iodine by hydrogen peroxide in acidic medium. Addition of ascorbic acid added to the reaction mixture produces the Landolt effect, i.e., the iodine produced by the indicator reaction is reduced immediately by the ascorbic add. Hence the concentration of iodide begins to decrease once all the ascorbic acid has been consumed. The induction period is measured by monitoring the concentration of iodide ion with an iodide ion-selective electrode. The reciprocal of the induction period varies linearly with the concentration of molybdenum(VI). The most suitable pH and concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and potassium iodide are found to be 1.5, 5 and 10mM, respectively. An appropriate amount of ascorbic acid is added to the reaction mixture according to the concentration of molybdenum(VI) in the sample solution. A calibration graph with good proportionality is obtained for the molybdenum(VI) concentration range from 0.1 to 160 μM. Iron(III), vanadium(IV), zirconium(IV), tungsten(VI), copper(II) and chromium(VI) interfere, but iron(III) and copper(II) can be masked with EDTA.     

A new volumetric method for the determination of molybdenum(VI)

Summary A new volumetric method has been developed for the determination of molybdenum(VI). The method consists in the reduction of molybdenum(VI) by heating with a slight excess of hydrazine sulphate in 1 to 2 M hydrochloric acid medium for ten minutes on a water bath. The mixture is cooled and the molybdenum(V) obtained determined by titration with a standard solution of ceric sulphate at an overall acidity of 4 N hydrochloric acid, using diphenyl benzidine as indicator and adding 5 ml of syrupy phosphoric acid for 50 ml of the mixture. Alternately the molybdenum(V) can be titrated with a standard solution of ceric sulphate at an overall acidity of 3 N hydrochloric acid using ferroin as indicator and adding 5 ml of syrupy phosphoric acid for 50 ml of the titration mixture. The molybdenum(V) can also be titrated with a standard solution of sodium vanadate in 8 N sulphuric acid medium, using N-phenyl anthranilic acid as indicator. Alternately, the titration with sodium vanadate can be made with diphenyl benzidine as indicator in 4 N acid medium, adding 5 ml of syrupy phosphoric acid and 1 ml of 1.0 M oxalic acid to catalyse the indicator action. The method now proposed is much more convenient than the methods currently available. It is simple because it does not require any costly chemicals or complicated apparatus. Furthermore, it has the advantages of great rapidity and excellent precision.     

Kinetic-spectrophotometric determination of molybdenum (VI) and tungsten (VI) in mixtures

A simple kinetic-spectrophotometric method is described for the determination of molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI) in mixtures, without prior separation. The method is based on the catalytic effect of molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI) on the oxidation of 2,4-diaminophenol dihydrochloride (DAP) by hydrogen peroxide in acidic medium. The reaction was followed spectrophotometrically by measuring the rate of change in absorbance with time at 500 nm. A partial inhibition in the catalytic activity of each catalyst, when the other one is present, at all ratios of Mo(VI) W(VI) mixtures studied was observed. On the other hand, the catalytic activity of tungsten(VI) dropped to zero whilst that of molybdenum(VI) decreased slightly, in the presence of citrate ions. Two sets of experiments were carried out, the first in the absence and the other in the presence of citrate, and the resolution of Mo(VI)/W(VI) mixtures was achieved by solving two simultaneous equations. Various molar ratios of Mo(VI) W(VI), at the 10^–6 M level, from 0.2 1 to 5 1 can be determined with satisfactory precision and accuracy. The selectivity of the method was investigated and the method was applied successfully to the determination of molybdenum and tungsten in each other's presence in steel.

Separation of molybdenum (VI) by extraction withn-octylaniline from hydrochloric acid medium

n-Octylaniline in bezene was used for the extractive separation of molybdenum (VI) from hydrochloric acid medium. Molybdenum(VI) was extracted quantitatively from 10 ml aqueous solution 1.5M in hydrochloric acid and 10M in lithium chloride into 10 ml of 10%n-octylaninline in benzene. It was stripped from the organic phase with 5% aqueous ammonia solution and estimated spectrophotometrically with thiocyanate at 465 nm. The interference of various ions has been studied in detail and conditions have been established for the determination of molybdenum(VI) in synthetic mixtures and alloy samples.     

Consecutive sorption of molybdenum(VI) and chromium(VI) from a single sample onto fiber materials filled with an anion exchanger and their solid-phase determination with phenylfluorone and diphenylcarbazide

We have considered the possibility of the sorption-spectrometric determination of molybdenum(VI) with phenylfluorone and chromium(VI) with diphenylcarbazide from a single sample by consecutive sorption from different media onto fiber materials filled with an AV-17 anion exchanger. The dependences of analytical signals of molybdenum and chromium on the sorption conditions (pH of the initial solution, NaCl concentration, sizes of the support disc, agitation time) have been studied in the batch mode. The conditions of analytical signal registration have been determined and the analytical ranges have been established (0.01–0.06 μg/mL for Cr and 0.02–0.2 μg/mL for Mo). It has been demonstrated that molybdenum and chromium can be determined at their ratios from 1: 1 to 5: 1 from a single sample after chromium sorption from 0.1 M HCl and molybdenum sorption at pH 4 by diffuse-reflection spectroscopy or visual test. The selectivity of molybdenum and chromium determination in the presence of interfering ions has been studied.     

Carminic acid as a reagent for the spectrofluorimetric determination of molybdenum and tungsten-I Development of procedures

Carminic acid forms red fluorescent complexes with molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI) which provide spectrofluorimetric methods for the determination of these metals in the range 0.1–0.9 ppm and 0.4–0.36 ppm at pH 5.2 and 4.6 respectively. The optimum conditions for the analytical procedures have been established, and the effects of a wide range of cations and anions have been investigated. The reagent forms 1:1 complexes with both molybdenum and tungsten, and the conditional stability constants have been evaluated.     

Tungsten(VI) and mixed tungsten,molybdenum(VI) complexes of tartaric acid

A number of studies of species formed in the tungsten(VI) oxide-R,R-(+)-tartaric acid-water system have been carried out(^1–3). While various species have been proposed, it is generally accepted that three main ones predominate. Two have tungsten: (+)-tartaric acid [(+)-tartH₄] ratios of 11 and the third has the same ratio of 12. This latter species cannot be that proposed by Avaloset al. ⁽³⁾ since both ligands in their structure would have to be present as unidentates.Recently we have shown⁽⁴⁾ that high resolution¹H and¹³C n.m.r. studies were particularly useful in delineating the complexes formed in aqueous solution in the analogous molybdenum(VI) system. Thus, we turned our attention to the corresponding tungsten(VI) complexes, especially in view of the controversy surrounding the nature of the species formed in aqueous solution with (+)-tartH₄. The results of our studies, presented below, indicate that only a few species are formed, and that these are quite analogous, as might be expected, to the previously described molybdenum(VI) species⁽⁴⁾. In addition we have observed the formation of a mixed dimeric species [MoWO⁴{(+)-tart}₂]^4–, whose structure is akin to the mono-metallic complexes, as well as the well-characterized antimony(III) and arsenic(III) dimers of (+)-tartH₄ ⁽⁵⁾.     

Separation studies of molybdenum(VI) and rhenium(VII) using TPPO as an extractant

A simple, rapid and reproducible method for the extractive separation of molybdenum(VI) and rhenium(VII) is proposed using triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO) dissolved in toluene as an extractant. The extractions are carried out from the hydrochloric and hydrobromic acid medium. The extraction of molybdenum is quantitative from 2.54-3.10 M hydrochloric acid and from 3.76-3.98 M hydrobromic acid, and that of rhenium is from 6.78-7.91 M hydrochloric acid. The probable nature of the extractable species is established using log distribution ratio-log concentration plots. The method permits mutual separation of molybdenum(VI) and rhenium(VII) and is applicable for the analysis of alloys and pharmaceutical sample. The detection limits for molybdenum(VI) and rhenium(VII) are 0.8 ppm and 4 ppm respectively.     

Extractions with long-chain amines-III: colorimetric determination of molybdenum as thioglycollate

A highly selective and sensitive colorimetric determination of molybdenum(VI) based on its extraction with a chloroform solution of trioctylamine from solutions of acetic and thioglycollic acid (TGA) is described. The yellow chloroform extract containing the molybdenum-TGA complex is measured at 370 nm. With a single extraction it is possible to determine small amounts of molybdenum in the presence of very large concentrations of almost all metals. Only bismuth, mercury and tungsten interfere.     

The reduction of tris-dithiolene complexes of molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI) by hydroxide ion: kinetics and mechanism

The kinetic study of the spontaneous reduction of some neutral tris-dithiolene complexes [ML3] of molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI), (L = S2C6H4(2-), S2C6H3CH3(2-) and S2C2(CH3)2(2-); M = Mo or W) by tetrabutylammonium hydroxide in tetrahydrofuran-water solutions demonstrates that OH- is an effective reductant. Their reduction is fast, clean and quantitative. Depending upon both the molar ratio in which the reagents are mixed and the amount of water present, one- or two-electron reductions of these tris-dithiolene complexes were observed. If Bu4NOH is present in low concentration or/and at high concentrations of water, the total transformation of the neutral M(VI) complex into the monoanionic M(V) complex is the only observed process. Stopped-flow kinetic data for this reaction are consistent with the rate law: -d[ML3]/dt = d[ML3-]/dt = k[ML3][Bu4NOH]. The proposed mechanism involves nucleophilic attack of OH- to form a mono-anionic seven-coordinate intermediate [ML3OH]-, which interacts with another molecule of [ML3] to generate the monoanionic complex [ML3]- transfering the oxygen from coordinated OH- to water. Hydrogen peroxide was identified as the reaction product. The molybdenum complexes are more difficult to reduce than their corresponding tungsten complexes, and the values of k obtained for the molybdenum and tungsten series of complexes increase as the ene-1,2-dithiolate ligand becomes more electron-withdrawing (S2C6H4(2-) > S2C6H3CH3(2-) > S2C2(CH3)2(2-)). This investigation constitutes the only well-established interaction between hydroxide ion and a tris(dithiolene) complex, and supports a highly covalent bonding interaction between the metal and the hydroxide ion that modulates electron transfer reactions within these complexes.
