The determination of antimony(iii) and free HCl in mixtures

Antimony trichloride in a boiling aqueous solution reacts quantitatively with alkali yielding the trioxide Sb₂O₃. This can be employed for alkalimetric titration of antimony trichloride. When the method is combined with the iodimetric titration of antinony(lll), free hydrochloric acid can be determined in presence of the trichloride.     

Simple conditions for the use of ferroin indicator in cerimetric titrations of antimony(III) alone and in mixtures with arsenic(III)

The titration of antimony(III) with cerium(V) sulphate in the presence of ferroin indicator at room temperature is entirely satisfactory in media consisting of 50% ($\text{v}\text{v}$) acetic acid and 1–3 M hydrochloric acid. In the absence of acetic acid, ferroin reacts with the antimony(V) formed in the very early stages, to give a sparingly soluble red complex, which remains in suspension and resists oxidation by cerium(IV). This titration provides a rational method for sequential visual titrations of antimony(III) and arsenic(III). The composition of the ferroin-antimony(V) complex is discussed. Titrations of antimony(III) in 0.5–1 M sulphuric acid medium do not require acetic acid but need iodine monochloride catalyst.

Redox substoichiometry in isotope dilution analysis

Radiometric titration of antimony(III) with potassium bromate in hydrochloric acid media using the standard series method provided much valuable informations on the titration errors which depended on the concentrations of the acid and antimony(III). The hydrochloric acid concentrations between 2.5 and 3.0M were found to be optimum for the oxidation of antimony(III) amounts of 4 μg or less. Under these optimum reaction conditions the redox substoichiometric isotope dilution analysis was applied to the determination of antimony in metallic zinc and the satisfactory results were obtained, without the separation of matrix element. Also, the merits of various oxidizing agents hitherto studied for the quantitative oxidation of antimony(III) were compared and discussed.

A volumetric determination of arsenic and antimony in mixed manganese arsenide,antimonide and phosphide compounds

A procedure is described for the titrimetric determination, of arsenic and antimony without separation. Total combined arsenic and antimony were determined by reduction with tin(II) chloride and titration with permanganate; antimony is found by selective reduction with mercury(I) chloride and titration with permanganate. A precision of 0.1–0.2% was obtained for total combined arsenic and antimony, and approximately 1% for antimony alone (small amounts in the presence of large amounts of arsenic). The procedure was developed for and applied to the analysis of synthesized compounds of the type MnAs_1-xP_x and MnAs_1-ySb_y.     

Radiometric redox titration of antimony(III) with potassium iodate

The redox titration of antimony(III), labeled with¹²⁵Sb(III), by potassium iodate was radiometrically investigated using the burette method and the standard series method. The stoichiometry of the redox process was determined. The redox valence (the number of equivalents per mol) of potassium iodate for the oxidation of antimony(III) to antimony(V) was found to be 6, differing from the results obtained using the usual visual indicator method, where the value was shown to be 4. This disagreement in the equivalents of potassium iodate for the oxidation of antimony(III) is discussed.

Sequential titration of iron(II), antimony(III) and arsenic(III) in binary or ternary mixture

A simple titrimetric procedure for the determination of iron(II), antimony(III) and arsenic-(III) in a mixture, with cerium(IV) sulphate as titrant, is proposed. The end-points can all be detected with ferroin or potentiometrically. Phosphoric acid medium is used for titration of the iron(II), then acetic acid medium for the titration of antimony(III), and finally the arsenic(III) is titrated in presence of iodine as catalyst. The procedure utilizes a single portion of test solution; it can be adopted for the analysis of binary mixtures.

Titration of antimony(III) with cerium(IV) sulphate and diphenylamine and its derivatives as reversible indicators

Diphenylamine, barium diphenylamine sulphonate, N-phenylanthranilic acid and 2-nitrodiphenylamine have been investigated as reversible indicators for the titration of antimony(III) with cerium(IV) sulphate in 0.5–2 M sulphuric acid medium. Diphenylamine is the most satisfactory in titrations of antimony(III) in chloride-free solutions, e.g. of potassium antimonyl tartrate. Even low chloride concentrations affect the indicator action of N-phenyl-anthranilic acid or 2-nitrodiphenylamine, but diphenylamine is satisfactory in 1 M hydrochloric acid media. Iodine catalyst is necessary to accelerate the reduction of the oxidized indicator by antimony(III). The indicator colour change is vivid and the colour of the oxidized indicator is stable. Titrations of antimony(III) in mixtures with iron(II) and arsenic(III) are also considered.     

Non-aqueous redox determination of ascorbic acid with copper (II)

Hydrated copper (II) perchlorate (in acetonitrile) has been used for the direct visual and potentiometric determination of ascorbic acid in acetic acid-acetonitrile media. Diphenylamine and diphenylbenzidine are suitable indicators. A bright platinum wire is used as indicator electrode and a modified calomel or an antimony electrode as reference electrode for the potentiometric titration. Ascorbic acid is oxidized to dehydroascorbic acid. The proposed method is simple, accurate and reliable. The reverse titration also works well.     

Spectrophotometric determination of antimony with 3,5,7,4'-tetrahydroxyflavone (kaempferol)

A selective spectrophotometric method is described for determination of antimony with kaempferol. Microgram amounts of antimony can be determined by measurements at 420 run in 0.1M hydrochloric acid. The molar absorptivity is 1.09 x 10(4) at 420 nm and the optimum range for accurate determination is 1.9-7.8 ppm of antimony.     

A Coulometric Analysis Method and an Ion-exclusion Chromatographic Method for the Determination of Antimony(V) in Large Excess of Antimony(III)

A coulometric analysis method and an ion-exclusion chromatographic method were developed for the determination of antimony(V) in a large excess of antimony(III). Antimony(V) reacted with potassium iodide in a high concentration hydrochloric acid; the liberated iodine was determined by the standard-addition method using coulometrically generated iodine. Using a Dionex ICE-AS1 ion-exclusion column, antimony(V) was eluted with 40 mmol/L sulfuric acid; on the other hand, antimony(III) was strongly retained on the column. The content, expressed as the amount ratio of antimony(V) to antimony(III), was 0.035% in a 10 g/kg antimony(III) solution prepared from an antimony(III) oxide reagent by the coulometric analysis method and 0.036% in a 1 g/kg antimony(III) solution prepared from the same antimony(III) oxide by the ion-exclusion chromatographic method. The results of both methods were in good agreement with each other. The detection limit of antimony(V) in antimony(III) oxide by the former method was 0.004% of antimony(III), and that by the latter method was 0.002% of antimony(III).     

Determination of antimony in concentrates, ores and non-ferrous materials by atomic-absorption spectrophotometry after iron-lanthanum collection, or by the iodide method after further xanthate extraction

Methods for determining trace and moderate amounts of antimony in copper, nickel, molybdenum, lead and zinc concentrates and in ores are described. Following sample decomposition, antimony is oxidized to antimony(V) with aqua regia, then reduced to antimony(III) with sodium metabisulphite in 6M hydrochloric acid medium and separated from most of the matrix elements by co-precipitation with hydrous ferric and lanthanum oxides. Antimony (>/= 100 mug/g) can subsequently be determined by atomic-absorption spectrophotometry, at 217.6 nm after dissolution of the precipitate in 3M hydrochloric acid. Alternatively, for the determination of antimony at levels of 1 mug/g or more, the precipitate is dissolved in 5M hydrochloric acid containing stannous chloride as a reluctant for iron(III) and thiourea as a complexing agent for copper. Then tin is complexed with hydrofluoric acid, and antimony is separated from iron, tin, lead and other co-precipitated elements, including lanthanum, by chloroform extraction of its xanthate. It is then determined spectrophotometrically, at 331 or 425 nm as the iodide. Interference from co-extracted bismuth is eliminated by washing the extract with hydrochloric acid of the same acid concentration as the medium used for extraction. Interference from co-extracted molybdenum, which causes high results at 331 nm, is avoided by measuring the absorbance at 425 nm. The proposed methods are also applicable to high-purity copper metal and copper- and lead-base alloys. In the spectrophotometric iodide method, the importance of the preliminary oxidation of all of the antimony to antimony(V), to avoid the formation of an unreactive species, is shown.     

A new and rapid titration of antimony(III) with potassium dichromate, with iron(II) as inductor

The optimum conditions for the titration of antimony(III) with dichromate, and diphenyl-aminesulphonic acid as indicator, have been established. No iodine catalyst is used; the analytical reaction is based on an induced reaction with iron(II) as inductor. The titration can be done as easily as an iron(II) titration and the end-point is equally sharp. Titrations are possible with 0.01N solutions.     

Determination of antimony in ores and related materials by continuous hydride-generation atomic-absorption spectrometry after separation by xanthate extraction

A continuous hydride-generation atomic-absorption spectrometric method for determining approximately 0.02 mug/g or more of antimony in ores, concentrates, rocks, soils and sediments is described. The method involves the reduction of antimony(V) to antimony(III) by heating with hypophosphorous acid in a 4.5M hydrochloric acid-tartaric acid medium and its separation by filtration, if necessary, from any elemental arsenic, selenium and tellurium produced during the reduction step. Antimony is subsequently separated from iron, lead, zinc, tin and various other elements by a single cyclohexane extraction of its xanthate complex from approximately 4.5M hydrochloric acid/0.2M sulphuric acid in the presence of ascorbic acid as a reluctant for iron(III). After the extract is washed, if necessary, with 10% hydrochloric acid-2% thiourea solution to remove co-extracted copper, followed by 4.5M hydrochloric acid to remove residual iron and other elements, antimony(III) in the extract is oxidized to antimony(V) with bromine solution in carbon tetrachloride and stripped into dilute sulphuric acid containing tartaric acid. Following the removal of bromine by evaporation of the solution, antimony(V) is reduced to antimony(III) with potassium iodide in approximately 3M hydrochloric acid and finally determined by hydride-generation atomic-absorption spectrometry at 217.8 nm with sodium borohydride as reluctant. Interference from platinum and palladium, which are partly co-extracted as xanthates under the proposed conditions, is eliminated by complexing them with thiosemicarbazide during the iodide reduction step. Interference from gold is avoided by using a 3M hydrochloric acid medium for the hydride-generation step. Under these conditions gold forms a stable iodide complex.
