Zusammenfassung Eine sehr empfindliche und selektive Methode zur spektrophotometrischen Bestimmung des Germaniums unter Verwendung von Brenzcatechinviolett wurde beschrieben. Vor der Bestimmung wird das Germanium zunächst durch Extraktion mit Tributylphosphat (TBP) und Kerosin angereichert und dann mit dem stark basischen Anionenaustauscher Dowex 1, X 8 in einer Mischung aus 30 Vol. %> TBP, 60 Vol. % Methylglykol und 10 Vol. % 12-n Salzsäure von den mitextrahierten, die Bestimmung störenden Elementen abgetrennt. Weiters wird gezeigt, daß sich diese Mischung gut eignet, um Uran quantitativ vom Germanium zu trennen. Die spektrophotometrische Bestimmung des Germaniums wird von V(V), Mo(VI), Ga(III), Tl(III), Sb(III), Sn(II) und Fe(III) gestört. Die Störung durch Eisen kann durch Zugabe von Natrium-Kaliumtartrat ausgeschaltet werden.

Anionic exchange separations of the elements that can be extracted with tributyl phosphat. II

Summary A very sensitive and selective method for the spectrophotometric determination of germanium has been described employing pyrocatechol violet. Prior to the determination, the germanium is first accumulated by extraction with tributyl phosphate (TBP) and kerosene and then separated from the co-extracted elements, that interfere with the determination, by means of the strongly basic anion-exchanger Dowex 1, X8 in a mixture consisting of 30 vol. % TBP, 60 vol. % methylglycol and 10 vol. % 12N hydrochloric acid. In addition it was shown that this mixture is well suited to separate uranium quantitatively from germanium. The spectrophotometric determination of germanium is interfered with by V(V), Mo(VI), Ga(III), Tl(III), Sb(III), Sn(II) and Fe(III). The interference by iron can be averted by adding sodium-potassium tartrate.

     

2,3,7-Trihydroxyfluorones immobilized on cellulose matrices in test methods for determining rare elements

It was shown that 2,3,7-trihydroxyfluorones immobilized by adsorption on cellulose matrices can be used as reagents for the test determination of Mo(VI), Ti(IV), Ge(IV), Hf(IV), Nb(V), Ta(V), W(VI), Bi(III), V(IV), and Zr(IV). The change of the protolytic and complexing properties of trihydroxyfluorones immobilized on cellulose matrices was considered in comparison to corresponding properties in a solution. It was found that the reactions of trihydroxyfluorones with rare elements on cellulose matrices and in a solution exhibit similar effects upon the addition of cetylpyridinium. These effects are the bathochromic shift of the absorption maxima of the reagents and their complexes with analytes and the extension of the range of optimum acidity for complex formation. The complexation of salicylfluorones with the titanium(IV) in solution and on cellulose paper was studied by IR spectrometry. Phenylfluorone immobilized on a mixed-fiber cloth as used in test determinations of (mg/L) 0.05–5 Ti(IV), V(IV), Hf(IV), Nb(V), and Mo(VI); 0.01–5 Ge(IV) and Zr(IV); 0.05–1 Bi(III) and W(VI); and 0.1–5 Ta(V) by the color intensity of the indicator matrix after passing through 20 mL of a test solution. It was shown that phenylfluorone immobilized on cellulose paper can be used to determine (mg/L) 0.05–50 Ti(IV), 0.5–1000 Ge(IV), 0.5–500 Zr(IV), 5–200 Bi(III), 0.1–50 Mo(VI), 0.1–1000 V(IV), 0.1–100 Nb(V), 0.1–800 Hf(IV), 1–100 Ta(V), and 1–800 W(VI) by the length of the colored zone of a test strip after it was brought into contact with a test solution.     

Differential pulse polarography of germanium(IV), tin(IV), arsenic(V), antimony(V), selenium(IV) and tellurium(VI) at the static mercury drop electrode in catechol—perchlorate media

The differential pulse polarography of Ge(IV), Sn(IV), As(V), Sb(V), Se(IV) and Te(VI) has been investigated in perchlorate media containing catechol using a static mercury drop electrode. Under optimum conditions, Ge(IV), Sn(IV), As(V), and Sb(V) undergo reduction to yield well-defined peaks; detection limits of 82 ppb, 28 ppb, 4 ppm, and 25 ppb, respectively, have been calculated. Few electrolytes are known for which these ions exhibit a quantitatively useful polarographic response. While Se(IV) and Te(VI) may be detected at levels of 115 ppb and 17 ppb, respectively, addition of catechol does not enhance the peak current relative to that observed in simple perchlorate solutions, as was the case for the other ions studied. The determination of germanium, arsenic and antimony in samples is described.     

Reactions of molybdenum(VI) with metal ion reductants

The reactions of aqueous H2MoO4 at low pH with titanium(II), titanium(III), europium(II), vanadium(II), and germanium(II), as monitored at 430 nm, give biphasic profiles featuring a sharp rise in absorbance followed by a marked decrease (Fig. 1). The final product is the dimeric Mo(V) cation, [Mo2O4]2+, and the strongly absorbing intermediate is taken as a monomeric Mo(V) species. The molar absorbances of the transients from different reductants are not the same, nor are the rate laws governing the fadings. None of the decay curves exhibits evidence of a second order dependence on the transient. The kinetic behaviors of these systems are consistent with the intervention of successor complexes of the type [Chemical structure: see text], (formed by inner sphere reductions of Mo(VI)), which decompose, via first-order processes, to a monomeric Mo(V) species. The latter then experiences rapid dimerization, which is kinetically silent. The possibility that Ge(II) bypasses the unstable tripositive state by reducing Mo(VI) to Mo(IV) (which then undergoes rapid Mo(VI)-Mo(IV) comproportionation) is considered.     

Extractive-spectrophotometric determination of molybdenum with 4-unsubstituted-5-pyrazolones

A fairly sensitive and selective method for rapid determination of tracer amounts of molybdenum(V) as mixed-ligand complexes with thiocyanate and 4-unsubstituted-5-pyrazolones is described. The red complexes are extractable into chloroform from 1-5M hydrochloric or perchloric acid or 1-3M sulphuric arid media. The molar absorptivities are in the range 1.72-2.15 x 10(4)l.mole(-1).cm(-1) at 455 nm (lambda(max)). The method has been applied to the estimation of molybdenum in various synthetic and alloy-steel samples. In presence of excess of the reagent, Cu(II), Co(II), Mn(II), Fe(II), Fe(III), Al(III), Cr(III), Cr(VI), Ti(III), Ti(IV), Zr(IV), Hf(IV), V(III), V(IV), V(V), Nb(V), Ta(V), W(VI) and U(VI) do not interfere.     

Solvent extraction and spectrophotometric determination of palladium(II) with 7-iodo-8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulphonic acid

An extractive spectrophotometric procedure has been developed for the determination of palladium (II) at microgram levels. The palladium(II) chelate of 7-iodo-8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulphonic acid is extracted into n-butanol. Extraction is maximal (95%) from 0.2M perchloric acid. Beer's law is valid at 430 nm over a wide range of palladium concentration from 2.5 ppm. The molar absorptivity is 958 1.mole(-1).mm(-1). The system can tolerate a large excess of Co(II), Ni(II), Rh(III), Pt(IV), Cr(III), W(VI), chloride, phosphate, citrate and tartrate. Small quantities of Ru(III), IR(III) and EDTA do not interfere, but serious interference is caused by Fe(III), V(V), Mo(VI) and Os(VIII).     

Analytical applications of ternary complexes-VIII An improved reagent system for the spectrophotometric determination of aluminium

Aluminium ions form a ternary complex with Catechol Violet (CV) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in which an Al(3)+:CV:CTAB ratio of 1:2:5 is observed. The sensitivity of the binary complex between aluminium and Catechol Violet (615nm) = 1.50 x 10(3) l. mole (-1). mm(-1) is enhanced on ternary complex formation to (670nm) = 5.30 x 10(3) l. mole(-1). mm(-1). The colour is formed instantaneously, stabilizes within 20 min, and may be used for the detection of aluminium in the range O.27-54 pm in the presence of EDTA which prevents the interference of most ions. A benzoate extraction procedure for aluminium is used to prevent interference from hundredfold amounts of Cr(VI), Fe(II), Fe(III), Hg(II), Sb(III), Ti(IV) and acetate, but Be, Cr(III), rare earths, V(V), Zr and tartrate must be absent, as must high concentrations of phosphate and fluoride ions.     

Inorganic speciation of As(III, V), Se(IV, VI) and Sb(III, V) in natural water with GF-AAS using solid phase extraction technology

The paper presents a procedure for the multi-element inorganic speciation of As(III, V), Se(IV, VI) and Sb(III, V) in natural water with GF-AAS using solid phase extraction technology. Total As(III, V), Se(IV, VI) and Sb(III, V) were determined according to the following procedure: titanium dioxide (TiO₂) was used to adsorb inorganic species of As, Se and Sb in sample solution; after filtration, the solid phase was prepared to be slurry for determination. For As(III), Se(IV) and Sb(III), their inorganic species were coprecipitated with Pb-PDC, dissolved in dilute nitric acid, and then determined. The concentrations of As(V), Se(VI) and Sb(V) can be calculated by the difference of the concentrations obtained by the above determinations. For the determination of As(III), Se(IV) and Sb(III), palladium was chosen as a modifier and pyrolysis temperature was 800 °C. Optimum conditions for the coprecipitation were listed for 100 ml of sample solution: pH 3.0, 15 min of stirring time, 40.0 μg l⁻¹ Pb(NO₃)₂ and 150.0 μg l⁻¹ APDC. The proposed method was applied to the determination of trace amounts of As(III, V), Se(IV, VI) and Sb(III, V) in river water and seawater.     

Synthesis and analytical properties of 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde guanylhydrazone (3,4-DBGH)

Synthesis and analytical properties of 3,4-dihydroxy-benzaldehyde guanylhydrazone are described. The reagent was tested with 43 cations but only Co(II), Fe(II), Fe(III), Mo(VI), W(VI) and V(V) gave colored complexes. Spectral characteristics of the reagent are presented. Procedure for a selective a determination of Co(II), a sensitive determination of Fe(III) and determination of Mo(VI), W(VI) and V(V) in presence of large amounts of Fe(III) are reported. The method was applied for the determination (a) of Co(II) in presence of other cations at excess (b) of Fe(III) in a city drinking water sample without preconcentration and (c) of Mo(VI) in a standard steel sample.     

Study on Chemiluminescence Reactions of Lucigenin and Reductants by Flow Injection Analysis

Preceding studies involved two kinds of chemiluminescence (CL) reactions of Lucigenin(Lu ),one was the reaction of Lu with H=O, catalyzed by metal ions, the other was that ofLu with organic reductants such as glucose, uric acid and so on.We found that Mo (Ill),V (11 ),U (ill),W (ill),Cr (11 ),Ti (ill) and Fe (11 ), whichwere produced on-line by passing Mo (VI),V (V ),U (VI), W (VI), Cr (VI,lll),Ti (N) andFe (ill) through a micro Jones column', can react with Lu to generate strong …     

Iodnitrotetrazolium chloride-A new analytical reagent for determination of chromium

The extraction of chromium (VI) with iodnitrotetrazolium chloride (INT) was studied spectrophotometrically. The basic spectrophotometric characteristics of the ion associated formed were determined. Using different methods it was found that the ratio between chromium and INT was 1:1. The molar absorptivity of the associate is (250) = (3.70 +/- 0.08) x 10(4) 1.mole(-1).cm(-1). Performing the reaction in acid medium (0.1-1.1M hydrochloric acid) allowed the determination of chromium in the presence of large amounts of W(VI), Mo(VI), Fe(III) and V(V). Hence INT is suggested as a sensitive and selective reagent for extractive-spectrophotometric determination of microquantities of chromium(VI).

Chloroform extraction of ethyl xanthate complexes from sulphuric acid media

The chloroform extraction of 30 elements (Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, Cd, Ge, Sn, V, As, Sb, Bi, Cu, Ag, Au, Mn, Re, Ga, In, Tl, Se, Te, Cr, Mo, U, Pt, Pd, Rh, Ir, Ru and Ce) from 0.1-8M sulphuric acid in the presence of potassium ethyl xanthate has been studied. Pd(II), Bi, As(III), Sb(III), Se(IV) and Te(IV) are completely extracted and Au(III) is largely extracted over the range of acid concentration investigated. Fe(II), Tl(I), Rh(III) and Cr(VI) are only slightly extracted and Se(VI), Te(VI), Ru(III), Cr(III), Mn(II), Zn, Ce(IV), Ir(IV) and Ge(IV) are not extracted at all. Depending on the acid concentration, the remaining elements are all partly extracted. Results are compared with those obtained in an earlier study of the extraction of xanthate complexes from hydrochloric acid media. The processes involved in the formation of some xanthate complexes and potential analytical separations are discussed.     

Coprecipitation with yttrium phosphate as a separation technique for iron(III), lead, and bismuth from cobalt, nickel, and copper matrices

The coprecipitation behavior of 44 elements (47 ions because of chromium(III,VI), arsenic(III,V), and antimony(III,V)) with yttrium phosphate was investigated at various pHs. Yttrium phosphate could quantitatively coprecipitate iron(III), lead, bismuth, and indium over a wide pH range; however, 18 ions, including alkali metals and oxo anions, such as vanadium(V), chromium(VI), molybdenum(VI), tungsten(VI), germanium(IV), arsenic(III,V), selenium(IV), and tellurium(VI), were scarcely collected. In addition, 19 ions, including cobalt, nickel, and copper(II), were hardly coprecipitated at pHs below about 3. Based on these results, the separation of iron(III), lead, and bismuth from cobalt, nickel, and copper(II) matrices was investigated. Iron(III), lead, and bismuth ranging from 0.5 to 25 μg could be separated effectively from a solution containing 0.5 g of cobalt, nickel, or copper at pH 3.0. The separated iron(III), lead, and bismuth could be determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry using internal standardization. The detection limits (3σ, n = 7) of iron(III), lead, and bismuth were 0.008, 0.137, and 0.073 μg, respectively. The proposed method was applied to the analyses of metals and chlorides of cobalt, nickel, and copper.     

Controlled potential coulometry: the application of a secondary reaction to the determination of plutonium and uranium at a solid electrode

A method is described for the simultaneous determination of plutonium and uranium in mixed oxides by controlled potential coulometry at a gold working electrode in two stages: first a coulometric oxidation, at 0.73 V vs. a silver/silver chloride electrode, of Pu(III) and U(IV) to Pu(IV) and U(VI) by a combination of a direct electrode reaction and a secondary chemical reaction proceeding concurrently, and secondly, a coulometric reduction at 0.33 V of Pu(IV) to Pu(III), leaving uranium as U(VI). The determination is carried out in a mixture of sulphuric and nitric acids, and Ti(III) is used to reduce plutonium and uranium to Pu(III) and U(IV) before electrolysis. The precision (3sigma) of Pu:U ratio results obtained from mixtures containing about 30% and 2% plutonium was 0.5% and 1-5% respectively. The effect of experimental variables on the time taken to complete the coulometric determination is discussed.

Extraction and separation of bismuth(III)

Separation of bismuth from beryllium, lead, iron(III), indium, scandium, lanthanum, antimony(III), zirconium, titanium, thorium, vanadium(V), molybdenum(VI), uranium (VI) and chromium(VI) is achieved by selective extraction of bismuth from 0.1M sodium salicylate solution (adjusted to pH 7) into mesityl oxide (MeO). The extracted species is Bi (HOC(6)H(4)COO)(3).3MeO. The results are accurate within +/- 0.5%, with a standard deviation of 0.8%. The separation and determination of bismuth takes only 15 min.     

Polarography of metal-gallic complexes

The polarographic behavior of metal ions in perchlorate media containing gallic acid is described. Tungsten(VI) forms a complex with gallic acid which yields a single wave in these media, useful in the polarographic determination of tungsten. Evidence for complexation of chromium(III), copper(II), iron(III), molybdenum(VI), uranium(VI), vanadium(V), tungsten(VI), praseodymium(III), samarium(III), neodymium(III) and gadolinium(III) is obtained and the behavior of these metal ions is summarized.     

Determination of niobium in pyrochlore ore by differential pulse polarography

A differential pulse polarographic method has been developed for the quantitative determination of niobium in pyrochlore ore. One-step polarographic curves were obtained in 0.01 mol L(-1) EDTA as supporting electrolyte. Analytical curves indicated that response was linearly dependent on Nb(V) concentration between 1.6 and 8.6 mg L(-1) in the pH range 2-5. The system is quasi-reversible and controlled by diffusion in 0.01 mol L(-1) EDTA as supporting electrolyte; the electrode process involves one-electron reduction of Nb(V) to Nb(IV). The results obtained so far for niobium in pyrochlore ore were comparable with those obtained by X-ray fluorescence determination. Ions such as Fe(III), Cr(III), As(III), Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Mn(II), Sn(IV), Zn(II), V(V), Ta(V), W(VI), Ce(IV), and Ti(IV) did not interfere. Possible interference from Pb(II) can be avoided by complexation with the supporting electrolyte in the pH range 3.5 to 4.6; Mo(VI) ions can be tolerated when their concentration is one-tenth that of Nb(V).     

The spectrophotometric determination of vanadium after extraction as vanadium(III) ferronate by tribenzylamine

Vanadium(III) obtained by dithionite reduction of vanadium(V) can be extracted as its ferron complex with tribenzylamine in chloroform from 0.05 M sulphuric acid. Vanadium (0–5 μg ml^-1) is determined spectrophotometrically at 430 nm with a sensitivity of 0.0028 μg V cm^-2. Al(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Fe(II, III), Hg(II), Si(IV), Be(II), Mg(II), Ca(II), Sr(II), Ba(II), Cr(VI, III), W(VI), Zn(II), U(VI), Mn(II). Pb(II), Cu(II), Cd(II) and Th(IV) do not interfere; only Mo(VI), Ti(IV), Zr(IV). Bi(V) and Sn(II) interfere. A single determination takes only 7 min. The extracted complex is V^III (R-3H.TBA)₃ where R = C₉H₄O₄NSI. The method is satisfactory for the determination of vanadium in steels, alum and other samples without preliminary separations.
