Bismuthiol I as an analytical reagent

Summary Bismuth and palladium have been determined volumetrically after precipitation as bismuthiol I complexes. From 0.1 N hydrochloric acid solutions they are separated from Fe²⁺, Al, Cr, Ce³⁺, Zr, Ti, Zn, Th, UO₂ ²⁺, Be, Mg, Mn, Co, Ni, alkalis, alkaline and rare earths.A mixture of tartrate or citrate and EDTA has been found to be useful for the separation of palladium at a p_H 3.5–8.5 from As, Zn, Bi, Sn⁴⁺, Sb, Fe³⁺, Tl⁺, Cu²⁺, Cd, Pb, Ru³⁺, Os⁴⁺, PO₄ ^3–, Ce⁴⁺, Ir⁴⁺, Rh³⁺, VO₃ ^–, CrO₄ ^2–, AsO₄ ^3–, WO₄ ^2–, MoO₄ ^2– and from all the other ions referred to above. Potassium iodide at p_H 6.0–8.0 and thiosulphate at 6–7 keep Ag, Pb, Hg²⁺ and Au³⁺, Ir⁴⁺, Os⁴⁺ respectively in solution and thus allow a selective precipitation of palladium.Hg²⁺, Pb, Cu²⁺, Ag, Tl⁺, Cd and Pd when present along with bismuth are first removed by the reagent and from the filtrate bismuth is estimated. Sn²⁺, Sb³⁺, Fe³⁺, F^–, VO₃ ^–, PO₄ ^3–, AsO₄ ^3– and CrO₄ ^2– interfere in bismuth determination while only Sn²⁺, Pt⁴⁺ and CN^– interfere in palladium estimation.

Besides Pb, Ag and Hg²⁺ are kept in solution with potassium iodide and Au in a limited quantity forms a soluble complex with thiosulphate. The palladium complex is either weighed after drying and determined gravimetrically or dissolved in an excess of cyanide and determined volumetrically by back titrating the latter with silver nitrate.     

Bismuthiol II as an analytical reagent

Summary The estimation of bismuth by the reagent Bismuthiol II is studied critically. The effect of acidity, reagent concentration and interfering ions are given in detail. The maximum acidity that may be tolerated for the complete precipitation of bismuth is 0.3 N in nitric acid, 0.5 N in hydrochloric acid and 1N in sulphuric acid. Higher acidity than 0.1 N decomposes the reagent present in excess. In 0.1 N nitric acid bismuth has been separated from a number of ions like Al³⁺, Cr³⁺, Th⁴⁺, rare earths, Zr⁴⁺, Ti⁴⁺, UO₂ ²⁺, Be²⁺, Mn²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Mg, alkalis and alkaline earths, SO₄ ^2–, Cl^–, C₂O₄ ^2–- and from Fe²⁺ and Ce³⁺ in 0.1 N hydrochloric acid. In presence of a citrate or a tartrate it can be separated from As³⁺, Ce⁴⁺, MoO₄ ^2–- and WO₄ ^2–-at p_H 1.5 to 2.5. When Hg²⁺, Pb²⁺, Pd²⁺, Cd²⁺, Cu²⁺, Ag⁺ and Tl⁺ are present they are first precipitated by the reagent at p_H 6 to 8 in presence of a citrate or a tratrate and the bismuth is estimated gravimetrically in the acidified filtrate. Ions as F^– and PO₄ ^3– that form insoluble compounds with bismuth, Sb³⁺ and Sn²⁺ that form less soluble compounds with the reagent and Fe³⁺, VO₃ ^–, CrO₄ ^2–, AsO₄ ^3– that act as oxidising agents, interfere.     

Bismuthiol II as an analytical reagent

Summary Lead was estimated as Bismuthiol II complex of composition (C₈H₅N₂S₃)₂Pb by precipitating it from its chloride or nitrate solution in presence of a mineral acid, acetic acid, tartrate or cyanide. The estimation is quantitative up to a maximumph of about 6.5. The lead-Bismuthiol II complex is stable up to about 311° C and the conversion factor is 0.315. The method affords a complete separation of lead from alkalis and alkaline earths, Be²⁺, Mg²⁺, Zn²⁺, Mn²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Fe²⁺, Fe³⁺, Cr³⁺, Al³⁺, rare earths, Ti⁴⁺, Zr⁴⁺, Th⁴⁺, UO₂ ²⁺, Pd²⁺, As³⁺, Sb³⁺, Cl^–, SO₄ ^2–, PO₄ ^3–, AsO₄ ^3–, MoO₄ ^2– and WO₄ ^2–. Among the sulphide group members Ag⁺, Au³⁺, Hg⁺, Hg²⁺, Tl⁺, Tl³⁺, Cd²⁺ and platinum metals, except Pd²⁺, interfere while oxidising agents decompose the excess reagent. Bi³⁺, Cu²⁺ and Sn²⁺, do not interfere up to a maximum limit of 30 mg, 50 mg, and 250 mg respectively.Part I: see Z. analyt. Chem. 154, 262 (1957).

Study of the complexation chemistry and speciation of thallium for on-line preconcentration with immobilised quinolin-8-ol

The effects of various buffering reagents and pH conditions were investigated by flame atomic absorption spectrometry to optimise complexation of T1³⁺ with quinolin-8-ol (8-Q), immobilised on controlled-pore glass beads in a 5-cm column. As Tl³⁺ is a softer acid than the other trivalent cations of the Group III elements, the effects of the buffers are different from those observed previously for Al³⁺, Ga³⁺ and In³⁺. A mixed buffer of 0.1 mol l^–1 acetate and 0.1 mol l^–1 ammonium chloride at pH 10 proved most successful, although 0.1 mol l^–1 maleate was also satisfactory over a pH range of 4–10. As thallium normally exists as Tl⁺ in solution, an oxidation method was developed to convert the ions to Tl³⁺, which is more efficiently complexed by 8-Q. Addition of 1–10 l of bromine per 100 ml of sample was sufficient to oxidise Tl⁺ without heating. Excess bromine was removed by addition of phenol. With a flow-rate of 6 ml min^–1, the detection limit of Tl³⁺ is 3 ng ml^–1, for a 3-miri preconcentration time. The enrichment factor under these conditions is 55 and the characteristic concentration is 2 ng ml^–1. The major ions in sea water did not interfere with Tl³⁺ preconcentration and the tolerable limits of Fe³⁺, Cu²⁺ and Al³⁺ are high enough to permit analysis of river and sea waters. The method was applied successfully to the determination of thallium in potassium-enriched table salt. It was also shown that the concentrations of Tl⁺ and Tl³⁺ in a solution can be derived using the described procedure, allowing speciation of inorganic thallium.

Performances catalytiques de faujasites Y échangées par des cations de Ce3+, La3+, UO22+, Co2+, Sr2+, Pb2+, Tl+ et NH4+ dans la réaction de dismutation du toluène

The catalytic performance of exchanged Y faujasites by Ce³⁺, La³⁺, UO₂²⁺, Co²⁺, Sr²⁺, Pb²⁺, Tl⁺ and NH₄⁺ ions were studied in a disproportionation reaction in the gaseous phase. It was shown that total acidity generated by exchanged ions is responsible of the catalytic activity. Rare earths (cerium, lanthanum and uranium) catalysts have appreciable performance and allowed one to obtain an important xylenes proportion at 400 to 450 °C. The decrease of xylenes and trimethylbenzenes proportion in studied catalysts shows the implication of xylenes in toluene disproportionation reaction.

Synthesis and applications of poly(acryl<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-aminobenzenesulfonamideamidine-<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-aminobenzenesulfonylamide) chelating fiber for pre-concentrating and separating trace Bi(III), Hg(III), Au(III) and Pd(IV) from solution samples

Poly(acrylp-aminobenzenesulfonamideamidine-p-aminobenzenesulfonylamide) chelating fiber containing "S", "N", and "O" elements was synthesized from polyacrylonitrile fiber and p-aminobenzene sulfonamide and used to enrich and separate trace Bi(III), Hg(III), Au(III), and Pd(IV) ions from wastewater and ore sample solution. The enrichment acidity, flow rate, elution conditions, reuse, interference ions, saturated adsorption capacity, constant of adsorption rate, analytical accuracy, and actual samples on chelating fiber were investigated by means of inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) with satisfactory results. Solutions of 100 ng mL^–1 of Bi(III), Hg(III), Au(III), and Pd(IV) ions can be enriched quantitatively by this chelating fiber at a rate of 1.0 mL min^–1 at pH 4 and desorbed quantitatively with 20 mL of 0.25 M HCl and 2% CS(NH₂)₂ solution at 50 °C (with recovery 97%). When the chelating fiber was reused for 20 times, the recoveries of the analyzed ions enriched by the fiber were still over 95% (except for Hg(III)). One thousand-fold excesses of Mn²⁺, Ca²⁺, Zn²⁺, Mg²⁺, Fe³⁺, Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺, Al³⁺, and Ba²⁺ ions and thousands-fold excesses of Na⁺ and K⁺ cause little interference in the pre-concentration and determination of the analyzed ions. The saturated adsorption capacity of Bi(III), Hg(III), Au(III), and Pd(IV) was 4.850×10^–4, 3.235×10^–4, 2.807×10^–4, and 3.386×10^–4 mol g^–1, respectively. The constants of adsorption rate were 0.409 min^–1 for Bi, 0.122 min^–1 for Hg, 0.039 min^–1 for Au, and 0.080 min^–1 for Pd. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) for the enrichment and determination of 10 ng mL^–1 Bi(III), Hg(III), Au(III), and Pd(IV) were lower than 2.3%. The results obtained for these ions in actual samples by this method were basically in agreement with the given values with average errors of less than 1.0%. FT-IR spectra shows that the existence of –SO₂–Ar, –H₂N–Ar, O=C–NH–, HN=C–NH–, and –HN–SO₂ functional groups are verified in the chelating fiber. From the FT-IR spectroscopy, we can see that Hg(III), Au(III), and Pd(IV) are mainly combined with nitrogen and sulfur (or oxygen), and Bi(III) is mainly combined with nitrogen (or oxygen) of the groups to form a chelating complex.     

Estimation of palladium

Summary In presence of tartaric acid and ammonium chloride, quinaldinic acid quantitively precipitates palladium from a hot solution at a p_H range 3 to 7 whereas other ions such as arsenic (As³⁺ and As⁵⁺), mercury (Hg²⁺), cadmium, bismuth, antimony, iron, chromium, aluminium, beryllium, thorium, cerium (Ce³⁺), titanium, zirconium, uranium (UO₂ ²⁺), vanadate, molybdate, tungstate, cobalt, nickel, manganese, magnesium, calcium, barium and strontium remain in solution. The palladium complex is quite insoluble in hot water and can be dried at any temperature up to a maximum of 353° C when it decomposes.     

A kinetic and mechanistic study of thallium(I) oxidation by quinolinium dichromate (QDC), a new oxidant

Quinolinium dichromate (QDC) oxidation of Tl^I in aqueous AcOH containing large concentrations of HCl is considerably accelerated both by H⁺ and Cl^– ions as well as by increasing the AcOH concentration in the medium; oxidation is made possible by altering the redox potentials. The reaction is first order in oxidant and in reductant but apparently less than unit order in [Cl^–] and nearly second order in [H⁺]. The active species of QDC and Tl^I are ClCrO₃ ^– and TlCl₂ ^– respectively. A possible mechanism is proposed and verified, and the reaction constants involved have been evaluated.     

Amperometrische Titration von Metallionen mit ÄDTA

Zusammenfassung Der Endpunkt bei der Titration von Metallionen mit ÄDTA kann amperometrisch indiziert werden, wenn man zur Probelösung eine geringe Menge Blei(II)—ÄDTA, Mangan(II)—ÄDTA oder Thallium(I)—ÄDTA zusetzt. Es werden zwei Platinelektroden verwendet, an die eine Spannung von 1,2 V angelegt wird. Es wurde festgestellt, daß sich die Platinanode mit einer ganz dünnen Schicht PbO₂ bzw. MnO₂ bzw. Tl₂O₃ überzieht. Diese Oxidschicht zeigt dann einen ÄDTA-Überaschuß an, wobei der zwischen den Elektroden fließende Strom stark zunimmt. Die Zusätze sind nur in bestimmten p_H-Bereichen wirksam; Pb²⁺-ÄDTA zwischen p_H 1,5 und 3,5; Mn²+-ÄDTA zwischen 1,0 und 6,0 und T1+-ÄDTA zwischen 6,5 und 11. Optimale Bedingungen für die Titration verschiedener Metallionen werden angegeben. Bei polarographisch aktiven Ionen erhält man eine V-förmige Kurve, bei polarographisch inaktiven Ionen eine — förmige Kurve.

Amperometric titration of metal Ions with EDTA

Summary The equivalence point in titrations of metal ions with EDTA can be indicated amperometrically, if small amounts of Pb²⁺-EDTA or Mn²⁺-EDTA or Tl⁺-EDTA are added. This method is performed with two platin electrodes; a voltage of 1.2 V is applied to these electrodes. It was stated, that the platin anode is covered with a fine layer of PbO₂ or MnO₂ or T1₂O₃. By an excess of EDTA this oxid film causes an increase of current between the platin electrodes. The additions of metal chelates are effective only within defined p_H ranges: Pb²⁺-EDTA between p_H 1.5 to 3.5; Mn²⁺-EDTA between p_H 1.0 to 6.0 and Tl⁺-EDTA between 6.5 to 11.0. Optimal conditions for the titration of various metal ions are reported. Polarographic active ions produce a V-formed curve, whereas polarographic inactive ions cause a — shaped curve.
