Spectrophotometric and derivative spectrophotometric determination of iron by extraction of the iron(II)-TPYZ-picrate ion-association complex

A solvent extraction-spectrophotometric determination of microamounts of iron has been developed, based on the formation of an ion-association complex of iron(II) with 2,4,6-tris(2'-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine as primary ligand and picrate as counter-ion, which is extracted into 1,2-dichloroethane. The complex is formed at pH 4.0-7.0 and the iron concentration can be determined by measuring the absorbance directly in the organic phase. The apparent molar absorptivity is 2.2 x 10(5) l.mole(-1).cm(-1). As the method is practically free from interferences it was applied to the determination of iron in different biological and inorganic samples. Although the proposed method is very sensitive it can be further sensitized by employing the derivative spectrophotometric technique.

Spectrophotometric determination of selenium(IV) with 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione

5,5-Dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione (dimedone) reacts in acid aqueous solution with selenium(IV) to give a benzoxaselenol which has an absorption maximum at 313 nm with a molar absorptivity of 4.00 x 10(3) l.mole(-1).cm(-1). The compound is extractable into chloroform, to give a solution with an absorption maximum at 300 nm with a molar absorptivity of 3.77 x 10(3) l.mole(-1).cm(-1). The calibration graph is linear up to 30 ppm selenium, with a detection limit of 0.1 ppm in the final solutions. Of the various other ions tested, only iron(III) interferes at all concentrations but the addition of 1000 ppm fluoride will mask 50 ppm Fe(3+). The method has good reproducibility, with a relative standard deviation of 1.0% for pure solutions. The method has been applied to the analysis of fire-refined copper.     

Spectrophotometric determination of traces of iron after extraction of Fe(II)-phenanthroline complex on polyurethane foam

A spectrophotometric method for the determination of traces of iron in glass and ceramic materials has been developed. The method involves formation of the Fe(II)-phenanthroline complex at pH 3-4 in aqueous medium, followed by its selective extraction and preconcentration on polyurethane foam from 2.5M perchloric acid and finally elution of the complex with acetone for spectrophotometric measurement at 510 nm. A wide linearity range from 0.05 to 3 mu g/ml Fe is obtained with the method. Co, Cu and Ni have no significant effect when they are present in the weight ratios Fe:Co < 1:2, Fe: Cu < 1:10 and Fe: Ni < 1:50. The method yielded satisfactory results when applied to various glass and ceramic samples.
