Submicro determination of aluminium, bismuth and copper in organometallic compounds

Methods for the determination of aluminium, bismuth or copper m samples of organometallic compounds weighing 40-110 microg have been developed. Spectrophotometric determination following digestion with nitric and sulphuric acids in a sealed tube is recommended, all results obtained from the analysis of standard compounds being within +/- 0.3% absolute error. Digestion in an open tube with perchloric and sulphuric acids gives satisfactory results for bismuth compounds but erratic and often low results for aluminium and copper compounds.

The determination of nickel, zinc, cobalt and manganese impurities in cadmium by pulse polarography

A pulse-polarographic method for the simultaneous determination of traces of nickel, zinc, cobalt and manganese in cadmium and its compounds is described. Interference from the reduction of the cadmium matrix was eliminated by a prior electrolytic deposition of cadmium on a mercury cathode at a controlled potential of –0.90 V vs. S.C.E. Iron in excess interfered with the determination of cobalt and was therefore extracted from the electrolysed solutions. The polarographic determination was performed in 0.1 M lithium acetate -0.025 M lithium thiocyanate as supporting electrolyte. A sample weight of 10 g and a final volume of 10 ml allowed the determination of about 0.08 p.p.m. nickel, 0.01 p.p.m. zinc, 0.02 p.p.m. cobalt and 0.003 p.p.m manganese. Less than 0.01 p.p.m. nickel could be determined with a 0.25 M pyridine 0.05 M potassium chloride supporting electrolyte. Several synthetic samples and commercially available cadmium products were analysed.

Determination of transition metal ions in tobacco as their 2-(2-quinolinylazo)-5-dimethylaminophenol derivatives using reversed-phase liquid chromatography with UV-VIS detection

This paper reports the utilization of solid-phase extraction and the reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography for the determination of six important transition metal ions: iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc and manganese in tobacco with 2-(2-quinolinylazo)-5-dimethylaminophenol (QADMAP) as chelating reagent. Iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc and manganese ions react with QADMAP to form colored chelates in the medium of acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer solution (pH 4.0). These chelates can be enriched by solid-phase extraction with Waters Sep-Pak-C18 cartridge, and eluted the retained chelates from cartridge with tetrahydrofuran. The chelates were separated on a Waters Nova-Pak-C18 column (150x3.9 mm, 5 microm) by gradient elution with methanol (containing 0.5% of acetic acid) and 0.05 mol/l pH 4.0 acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer solution as mobile phase at a flow-rate of 0.5 ml/min. The detection limits of iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc and manganese are 10, 12, 8, 13, 17 and 22 ng/l, respectively. This method had been applied to the determination of iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc and manganese in tobacco with good results.     

Chemical analysis of manganese nodules: Part IV. Determination of Nickel after Anion-exchange Separation

A method is described for the a.a.s. determination of nickel in manganese nodules after its separation from interfering metals. After dissolution of the sample in a mixture of perchloric and hydrofluoric acids, manganese, iron, cobalt, copper and other elements are adsorbed on the strongly basic anion exchange resin Dowex 1 (chloride form) from 95% ethanol-5% 12 M hydrochloric acid. The nickel passes into the effluent in which it is determined by a.a.s. with an air-acetylene flame. The method was used successfully for the determination of nickel in numerous samples of nodules from the Pacific Ocean.     

The use of dithizone extraction and atomic absorption spectrometry for the determination of cadmium,zinc, copper,nickel and cobalt in rocks and sediments

A method is presented for the determination of cadmium, zinc, copper, nickel and cobalt in sediments. The sediments are digested with hydrofluoric, sulphuric and perchloric acids. The metals are extracted into dithizone. Cadmium and zinc are back-extracted into dilute hydrochloric acid, but the other metals are determined in a solution prepared after the destruction of the organic extract. The method has been applied to USGS rock reference samples and to estuarine sediments.     

Direct determination of boron in a cobalt-based alloy by graphite furnace-atomic absorption spectrometry

A matrix modifier composed of nickel and zirconium, and a graphite tube treated with zirconium solution were proposed for the determination of boron in cobalt-based alloys by graphite furnace-atomic absorption spectrometry. The effects of this matrix modifier and the treated graphite tube were studied, and the combination of 60 mug of nickel and 20 mug of zirconium as matrix modifier, and a graphite tube soaked with 10 g 1(-1) of zirconium solution were found to give the highest analytical sensitivity. The interference effects of major components (cobalt) and eight minor components (chromium, nickel, tungsten, iron, tantalum, molybdenum, titanium, aluminium and manganese) were studied. Boron in four cobalt-based alloys was determined by graphite furnace-atomic absorption spectrometry employing the proposed matrix modifier and the treated graphite tube, without the preseparation of matrix. The relative standard deviation was 3.3% for 0.048% of boron. A characteristic mass was 500 pg.     

Determination of sulphur by electrolytic hydrogenation

Certain sulphur compounds such as thiosulphuric acid, polythionic acids, thiocyanic acid, thioureas, thioamides and 2-mercapto-acids are readily electrolytically hydrogenated in 1N sulphuric acid to form hydrogen sulphide which is absorbed in potassium hydroxide solution and titrated with o-hydroxymercuribenzoic acid in the presence of dithizone as indicator. The electrolytic cell consists of a lead anode in 5N sulphuric acid, a porous ceramic tube as diaphragm, and a cathode made of soft iron. The first-order rate-constants of hydrogenation and the results of determination of sulphur in some sulphur compounds are presented. The limit of determination is 0.1 ppm.

Flames of 4 different kinds and of various compositions were studied for their suitability for atomic absorption spectroscopy for the determination of manganese, iron, cobalt and nickel. The effects of various other factors such as lamp current, slit-width and position of the burner were also investigated. Interference effects of a large number of ions and compounds were studied. Very few ions were found to interfere and means of eliminating the interferences noted are described. As a result of the investigation, sensitive and selective procedures for the determination of manganese, iron, cobalt and nickel are reported. Sensitivities are Mn, 0.01 mg/l; Fe, 0.05 mg/l; Co, 0.03 mg/l and Ni, 0.02 mg/l for 1% absorption.     

Simultaneous Determination of Nickel and cobalt in Manganese Sulphate Electrolyte by DMGH2-Sensitized Differential Pulse Polarography

Abstract

A method is described for the simultaneous determination of nickel and cobalt in manganese sulphate electrolyte by the dimethylglyoxime (DMGH₂) sensitized differential pulse polarography. The high manganese sulphate background (1.2M) in the concentrated process plant electrolyte interferes only with the nickel determination and precludes its direct determination. A 50% v/v dilution and an excessive amount (2 × 10^?3M) of the chelating agent are required at pH7.7 for the reliable determination of both elements. Under these conditions, the linear concentration ranges are 0-110 μg/1 for nickel and 0-140 μg/1 for cobalt. The minimum detectable amounts above the levels present in the process plant electrolyte are 2 μg/1 and 1 μg/1 for both elements, respectively. The relative standard deviations for all measurements are between 1 and 3%.     

Determination of niobium in zirconium-niobium alloys

A rapid control determination of niobium in 50% zirconium/50% niobium master-alloy is described; it is a direct spectrophotometric procedure, based on the reaction of niobium ions with hydrogen peroxide in concentrated sulphuric acid. The procedure is suitable for the examination of zirconium alloys containing niobium in the range 0.1 to about 60%. At least 1% of chromium, cobalt, copper, manganese, nickel or tantalum, does not interfere. Interference due to optical absorption by the peroxy-complexes of titanium, tungsten, molybdenum and vanadium is not significant in the determination of niobium above about 1%, provided that these metals are not in excess of about 0.5%, 0.25%, 0.1% and 0.02%, respectively. To compensate for optical absorption due to iron(III), a solution of the sample, not treated with peroxide, is used.     

Determination of riboflavin in pharmaceutical products by automatic discrete-sample analysis

A procedure for the determination of iron, copper, nickel, cobalt, manganese and chromium down to 0.01 μg g^-1 in sodium calcium silicate glass, sodium borosilicate glass, sodium carbonate and calcium carbonate is described. The analytical procedure depends on the separation at pH 6 of the metal diethyldithiocarbamates into isobutyl methyl ketone, and their determination by flameless atomic absorption spectrometry, with a Massmann-type graphite furnace. The limiting factors on the detection limits attainable are discussed and related to the purity of the acids used for sample solution, sample contamination during chemical separation and the sensitivity of the analytical technique.

Direct determination of iron and manganese in wine using the reference element technique and fast sequential multi-element flame atomic absorption spectrometry

A procedure is proposed for the direct determination of manganese and iron in wine employing fast sequential flame atomic absorption spectrometry and the reference element technique to correct for matrix effects. Cobalt, silver, nickel and indium have been tested as reference elements. The results demonstrated that cobalt and indium at a concentration of 2 and 10mgL(-1) were efficient for quantification of manganese and iron, respectively. Under these conditions, manganese and iron could be determined with quantification limits of 27 and 40microg L(-1), respectively. The proposed method was applied to the determination of manganese and iron in 16 wine samples. The content of manganese varied from 0.78 to 2.89mgL(-1) and that of iron from 0.88 to 9.22mgL(-1). The analytical results were compared with those obtained by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry after complete mineralization using acid digestion. The statistical comparison by a t-test (95% confidence level) showed no significant difference between the results.

Separation of molybdenum from interfering elements by extraction as phosphomolybdenum blue

A simple method is described for the separation of molybdenum from titanium, zirconium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, uranium and aluminium in a wide variety of samples in <30 min. Phosphomolybdenum blue is produced by boiling for 2 min a molybdate solution containing phosphate to give Mo/P = 20-37 (w/w) with hydrazine sulphate in 0.1N sulphuric acid. The volume and acidity are adjusted to give a molybdenum concentration of 0.6-5 my/ml in 0.4-0.5N sulphuric acid. The phosphomolybdenum blue is 99.5% extracted with methyl isobutyl ketone in a single extraction. The residual molybdenum and hydrazine in the aqueous phase are oxidized with a few drops of liquid bromine and the molybdenum is quantitatively extracted with the same solvent from 1N sulphuric acid as its reddish brown thiosulphato complex. The molybdenum is stripped by ammonia-hydrogen peroxide solution. The back-extract is heated to boiling and filtered to remove the insoluble hydroxides of traces of accompanying elements. The thiosulphate in the filtrate is destroyed by boiling for 4-5 min with excess of hydrogen peroxide in slightly ammoniacal medium. The molybdenum is determined finally by cerimetry or other standard methods.

Study on Determination of Six Transition Metal Ions in Biological Samples by SPE and RP‐HPLC

This paper reports the utilization of solid phase extraction and the reversed‐phase high‐performance liquid chromatography (RP‐HPLC) for the determination of six transition metal ions (iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc and manganese) in biological samples. The samples were digested by microwave digestion. The iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc and manganese ions in the digested samples can react with 2‐(2‐quinolinylazo)‐5‐diethylaminophenol (QADEAP) to form colored chelates in pH 4.0 acetic acid‐sodium acetic buffer solutions and cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTMAB) medium. These chelates were enriched by solid phase extraction with C₁₈ cartridge. Then the chelates were separated on a Waters Nova‐Pak‐C₁₈ column (3.9 × 150 mm, 5 μm) by gradient elution with methanol (containing 0.5% of acetic acid and 0.1% of CTMAB) and 0.05 mol/L pH 4.0 acetic acid‐sodium acetic buffer solution (containing 0.1% of CTMAB) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. The detection limits of iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc and manganese are 3 ng/L, 4 ng/L, 2 ng/L, 4 ng/L, 8 ng/L, 10 ng/L, respectively. This method was applied to the determination of iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc and manganese in biological samples with good results.
