Features of the Sorptive Extraction of Osmium in Different Oxidation States with Silica Gels Chemically Modified with Mercapto and Disulfide Groups

The sorptive extraction of osmium(VIII, VI, IV) from HCl solutions with silica gels chemically modified with mercapto groups (MPS) and disulfide groups (DPDSS) was studied. The recovery of osmium(VIII) from 0.5–4 M HCl is 99 and 25% with the sorption equilibration time 5 and 20 min for MPS and DPDSS, respectively. The equilibration time for the extraction of Os(VI) with MPS is no longer than 1 min. The recovery from 0.1–4 M HCl is up to 99.9%. The recovery of osmium(VI) with DPDSS decreases from 96 and 80% when going from 0.5 M to 4 M HCl. The quantitative extraction of osmium(IV) is attained at 95°C in the presence of tin(II) chloride and the equilibration time 60 min. Without tin(II) chloride, osmium(IV) is not extracted with these sorbents. The difference in the sorption ability of chemically modified silica gels with respect to osmium in different oxidation states can be used for the extraction of osmium(VI) and osmium(IV) and their separate determination directly in the MPS phase with the use of diffuse reflectance spectrometry.     

Metal Sorption,Solid Phase Extraction and Preconcentration Properties of Two Silica Gel Phases Chemically Modified with 2-Hydroxy-1-Naphthaldehyde

Active silica gel phase (I) was chemically modified to the corresponding amino- (SiNH₂) and chloro- (SiCl) derivatives via silylation reactions. These were used to synthesize two newly modified silica gel phases (II, III) by direct chemical reaction with 2-hydroxynaphthaldehyde (2-HNA). The surface coverage values are 370, 432µmolg^–1 and 320, 355µmolg^–1 for (II) and (III), on the basis of thermal desorption and metal probe testing method, respectively. The metal sorption properties of silica gel phases (II, III) were studied and compared with active silica gel phase (I). The maximum determined metal capacity values were found to be 10–110, 20–290 and 20–370µmolg^–1 for phases I, II and III, respectively. The distribution coefficient values (K_d) were also determined for a series of metal ions, and the results showed that the two new chemically modified phases (II and III) were highly selective for Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Hg²⁺ and Pb²⁺. The potential applications of silica gel phases (II, III) as solid phase extractors for the same five metal ions spiked in drinking tap water (1.000µgmL^–1) were found to give percentage recovery values in the range of 90.2–96.3±4.1–6.3%, while pre-concentration of the same five metal ions spiked in drinking tap water (50.0ngmL^–1) was successfully accomplished with a percentage recovery range of 92.6–95.8±4.8–5.7%.Received December 16, 2002; accepted May 14, 2003 published online September 1, 2003

Solid Phase Extraction and Determination of Lead in Water Samples Using Silica Gel Homogeneously Modified by Thiosalicylic Acid

Abstract

Silica gel was modified by thiosalicylic acid via homogeneous routes to obtain immobilized silica gel sorbent (TSA‐immobilized silica gel). This new sorbent was characterized using variety of physical chemistry techniques including, high resolution solid state ¹³C and ²⁹Si CP/MAS NMR, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermal analysis (TGA and DTA), elemental analysis, and BET surface analysis as well as infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). New support was used for the selective extraction and concentration of lead ions by silica gel modified with thiosalicylic acid, as a highly selective and stable reagent, from aquatic samples and its determination with FAAS. Lead ions can be desorbed with 4 mol dm^?3 HNO₃. The sorption capacity for lead ions are found in the range of 64.40 to 69.90 µmol g^?1 of chelating matrix. Tolerance limits for electrolytes and some trace metals in the sorption of lead is reported. Preconcentration factor was found as 150 for Pb(II). The lead in drinking water, mineral water, tap water, and fruit juice was quantitatively recovered with a relative standard deviation lower than 1.50%. A detection limit of the method for lead ions was found as 3.7 µg l^?1.     

Extraction Properties of Modified Silica Gel for Metal Analysis by Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence

Abstract

The separation of water‐soluble vitamins by capillary zone electrophoresis was developed, in which on‐line concentration methods, namely field‐enhanced sample stacking and dynamic pH junction, were utilized to improve the detection sensitivity. The effects of some critical parameters, including pH and concentration of background electrolyte, sample matrix pH and concentration, and injection volume were examined. The effects of field‐enhanced sample stacking and dynamic pH junction on the separation resolution and concentration efficiency were compared. The limits of detection of the vitamins were from 6 to 119 ng ml^?1 (2.7×10^?8 to 53.4×10^?8 M) based on the signal‐to‐noise ratio of 3 and the relative standard deviations of migration time and peak area for each vitamin (1 µg ml^?1) were less than 3.5% using the field‐enhanced sample stacking as an on‐line concentration method. The developed method was applied to the analysis of water‐soluble vitamins in corns.     

Application of Silica Chemically Modified by Sulfur-Containing Groups to the Separation and Determination of Platinum and Rhenium in Catalysts Based on Aluminum Oxide

Adsorbents based on silica chemically modified by sulfur-containing groups (dithiocarbamate, thiodiazolethiol, mercaptophenyl, and aminobenzothiazole) quantitatively extract (recovery ≥99%) platinum( IV) from solutions ranging from 4 M HCl to pH 6. Under the conditions of the adsorption separation of platinum(IV), rhenium(VII) is not extracted and remains in the solution. The subsequent quantitative (98–99%) adsorption of rhenium(VII) is achieved in the presence of a 1000-fold excess of tin(II) chloride. Adsorption on the surface of adsorbents leads to the formation of platinum(II) complexes with sulfur-containing groups, luminescent at 77 K on irradiation with UV light. The luminescence spectra of surface platinum( II) complexes are located in the region of 550–700 nm. In the adsorption of rhenium(III) in the presence of tin(II) chloride, intensely colored brown complexes of rhenium formed on the surface of adsorbents. Electron paramagnetic resonance showed that, in the surface complexes, rhenium is in the oxidation state 2+. Silicas chemically modified by sulfur-containing groups were used in the development of procedures for the sequential isolation and determination of platinum and rhenium in solutions after the decomposition of aluminum–platinum–rhenium catalysts.     

Preconcentration and Separation Procedures for the Spectrochemical Determination of Platinum and Palladium

Low concentrations of Pt and Pd in industrial (µgg^–1 level) and environmental samples (ngg^–1 level) together with the complexity of the matrix causing many interferences during the determination of noble metals often require elaboration and application of pre-concentration/matrix separation procedures before detection of the analyte. Different pre-concentration/matrix separation procedures applied prior to the determination of Pt and Pd by atomic spectrometric techniques are reviewed and critically compared taking into account potential interferences. The methods studied are divided into 5 groups including precipitation and coprecipitation, liquid–liquid extraction, solid phase extraction, electrochemical pre-concentration and biosorption. The main analytical problems occuring during sample preparation and storage are discussed.     

Determination of Fluoride,Cyanide, and Thiocyanate Using Horseradish Peroxidase Immobilized on Modified Silica Gel

Abstract

Silica gels modified with different functional groups (amino, epoxy, cycloepoxy, isocyanate, and thiocyanate) were used for the covalent immobilization of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The catalytic activity and stability of the obtained enzyme preparations were studied using the reaction of o‐dianisidine oxidation with hydrogen peroxide as an indicator. The covalent immobilization of horseradish peroxidase using silica gel modified with thiocyanate groups provided not only the improvement of the enzyme stability, but also the development of the sensitive, rapid, and simple procedures for the determination of fluoride, cyanide, and thiocyanate. Enzymatic determination of inorganic anions is based on their inhibitory effect on the enzyme as the ligands capable to form stable complexes with Fe(III)‐HRP cofactor. The proposed procedures were applied for the determination of F^? in mineral and drinking waters; CN^? and SCN^?—in biological fluids (blood and saliva).     

Preconcentration and Determination of Copper(II) at a Chemically Modified Electrode Containing Salicylaldehyde Thiosemicarbazone

A chemically modified electrode (CME) containing salicylaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (TSCsal) was evaluated for the ability to preconcentrate copper(II) prior to quantification by voltammetry. The CME has been used for the very sensitive and selective analysis of trace amounts of copper(II). A detection limit of 0.1 ppb was obtained by applying anodic stripping voltammetry with a flow system. The parameters that affect the sensitivity and possible interference by other ions or chelating agents have been examined in detail. The CME exhibits high stability and the response could be reproduced for four preconcentration-determination-renewal cycles [10ppbCu(II)] with a 2.87% relative standard deviation. The proposed method has been applied to the determination of copper(II) in tap water, drinking water, and NASS-3 standard reference sea water samples. The results gave satisfactory recoveries.     

Stripping Voltammetry of Cerium(IIl) with a Chemically Modified Carbon Paste Electrode Containing Functionalized Nanoporous Silica Gel

This research introduces the design of an adsorptive stripping voltammetric method for the cerium(III) determination at a carbon paste electrode, chemically modified with dipyridyl‐functionalized nanoporous silica gel (DPNSG‐CPE). The electroanalytical procedure comprised two steps: the Ce(III) chemical accumulation at ?200 mV followed by the electrochemical detection of the Ce(III)/dipyridyl complex, using anodic stripping voltammetry. The factors, influencing the adsorptive stripping performance, were optimized including the modifier quantity in the paste, the electrolyte concentrations, the solution pH and the accumulation potential or time. The resulting electrode demonstrated a linear response over a wide range of Ce(III) concentration (1.0–28 ng mL^?1). The precision for seven determinations of 4 and 10 ng mL^?1 Ce(III) was 3.2% and 2.5% (relative standard deviation), respectively. The prepared electrode was used for the cerium determination in real samples and very good recovery results were obtained.     

Analytical Application of Silica Gel Modified with Didecylaminoethyl-beta-Tridecylammonium Iodide

Sorption of a high molecular weight quaternary ammonium salt, didecylaminoethyl-β-tridecylammonium iodide (DDATD) on different types of sorbents was investigated. The nature of reagent adsorption on silica gel was examined by spectroscopic and computer methods. The sorption of anionic metal complexes of cobalt, copper, zinc and manganese on silica gel modified with DDATD was studied. The possibility of recovery of cobalt and copper thiocyanate complexes and their further atomic absorption determination is shown. Modified sorbent was applied to cobalt chemiluminescence and determined in natural water and a nickel preparation (detection limit, 2 μg/l.).

ABSTRACT

5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol groups attached on a silica gel surface have been used for adsorption of Cd(II), Co(II), Cu(II), Fe(III), Ni(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II) from aqueous solutions. The adsorption capacities for each metal ion were (in mmol.g^?1): Cd(II)= 0.35, Co(II)= 0.10, Cu(II)= 0.15, Fe(III)= 0.20, Hg(II)= 0.46, Ni(II)= 0.16, Pb(II)= 0.13 and Zn(II)= 0.15. The modified silica gel was applied in the preconcentration and quantification of trace level metal ions present in water samples (river, and bog water).     

Preconcentration of Uranium in Seawater with Heterocyclic Azo Dyes Supported on Silica Gel

Abstract

The chelating adsorbents, heterocyclic azo dyes supported on silica gel, were prepared and their adsorption behaviors of metal ions were investigated. The 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol(PAN)-SG and 2-(2-thiazolylazo)-p-cresol(TAC)-SG show greater affinity for UO₂(II) and ZrO(II), compared with the other metal ions like Cu, Cd, Fe and alkaline earths. Trace uranyl can be quantitatively retained on the column of the gels at neutral pH region and flow-rate 3–4 ml/min. The uranyl retained is easily eluted from the column bed with a mixture of acetone and nitric acid(9:1 v/v) and determined by spectrophotometry using Arsenazo-III. Matrix components in seawater do not interfere and the spiked recovery of uranyl in artificial seawater was found to be average 98.6 %, with the relative standard deviation of 1.08 %. Both gels were applied to the determination of uranium in seawater with satisfactory results.     

Microcalorimetric Study of Methanol Adsorption on Initial Silica and Silica Modified with Polyfluoroalkyl Groups

The adsorption of methanol on initial silica and modified silica samples containing large mesopores is studied by the adsorption–calorimetric method. The grafted tridecylfluoroalkyl groups have a tilted orientation on the silica and physically screen the part of the surface OH groups that have not been involved in the reaction with a modifier. Adsorbed methanol makes the modifying layer looser, thus facilitating the accessibility of methanol molecules to these hydrophilic adsorption sites. Concentrations of OH groups involved in the chemical interaction with molecules of the modifier, OH groups physically screened by its organofluoric radicals, and OH groups located on the surface areas free of the modifier are quantitatively estimated. An additional silanization of the modified silica leads to coverage of silica surface areas that are free of organofluoric modifier with trimethylsilyl radicals. The heat of interaction between the methanol molecules and silica surface hydroxyl groups is determined; it is equal to 60 kJ/mol. The structure of the modifying organofluoric layer and changes in this structure that resulted from additional silanization of the surface and from the methanol adsorption are discussed.
