Sequential spectrophotometric determination of trace amounts of periodate and iodate in water samples after micelle-mediated extraction

A cloud point extraction process using the nonionic surfactant Triton X-114 for extraction and preconcentration of periodate and iodate ions from aqueous solution was investigated. The method is based on the extraction of triiodide ion, the colored product of the reaction of periodate and iodate with iodide in acidic media. The triiodide was concentrated in surfactant rich phase and then determined spectrophotometrically at 358 nm. For the determination of periodate and iodate in mixture, two sets of conditions were established. In one set of conditions only periodate reacted with iodide but in the other set both ions reacted with iodide. The data were evaluated by the method of proportional equations. The optimal extraction and reaction conditions (e.g., surfactant and reagent concentrations and centrifuge time) were studied and the analytical characteristics of the method (e.g., limit of detection, linear range, preconcentration factor, and enhancement factors) were obtained. Under the optimized conditions, the methods allowed the determination of periodate and iodate at concentrations between 2.0 and 1000 and 4.0 and 400 ng/mL, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of periodate and iodate in water samples.     

Spectrophotometric determination of iodine species in table salt and pharmaceutical preparations

A sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of iodine species like iodide, iodine, iodate and periodate is described. The method involves the oxidation of iodide to ICl(2)(-) in the presence of iodate and chloride in acidic medium. The formed ICl(2)(-) bleaches the dye methyl red. The decrease in the intensity of the colour of the dye is measured at 520 nm. Beer's law is obeyed in the concentration range 0-3.5 microg of iodide in an overall volume of 10 ml. The molar absorptivity of the colour system is 1.73 x 10(5) l mol(-1) cm(-1) with a correlation coefficient of -0.9997. The relative standard deviation is 3.6% (n=10) at 2 microg of iodide. The developed method can be applied to samples containing iodine, iodate and periodate by prereduction to iodide using Zn/H(+) or NH(2)NH(2)/H(+). The effect of interfering ions on the determination is described. The proposed method has been successfully applied for the determination of iodide and iodate in salt samples and iodine in pharmaceutical preparations.     

Spectrophotometric determination of periodate, iodate and bromate mixtures based on their reaction with iodide.

A rapid, simple, precise and accurate method is proposed for the determination of ternary mixtures of periodate-iodate-bromate based on their reaction with iodide ion at different pH values. The absorbance was measured at 352 nm. Three sets of reaction conditions were developed. In the first set of conditions, only periodate reacted with iodide, but in the second set the periodate and iodate reacted with iodide and in the third set the three ions reacted with iodide during the first 3 min after initiation of the reaction. The method could be used for individual determinations of periodate, iodate and bromate in the concentration range of 0.05-8.0 microg/ml, 0.05-5.0 microg/ml and 0.2-12 microg/ml, respectively. The data were evaluated by simultaneous equations.     

Spectrophotometric determination of periodate and iodate by a differential kinetic method

A rapid, simple and sensitive differential kinetic method is presented for the determinations of periodate and iodate ions. The method is based on their reaction with iodide in the presence of methylene blue. The reactions can be monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the decrease in absorbance at 665 nm. Two sets of conditions were established that in one set of conditions only periodate reacted with iodide but in the other set both the ions reacted with iodide during the first 180 s after initiation of the reaction. The data were evaluated by proportional equations. The method allowed the determination of periodate and iodate at concentrations between 0.1 and 1.0 and 0.1 and 1.3 mug ml(-1), respectively. The method was applied to the determination of periodate and iodate in tap water and spring water with satisfactory results.     

The use of iodate and periodate with iodide in the potentiometric titration of arsenite,sulfide, and sulfite with mercury (II)

A new potentiometric method is adopted for the accurate microdetermination of arsenite, sulfide and sulfite. The reductant is added to a known excess of standard iodate or periodate properly acidified with sulfuric acid. To the brown solution containing iodine equivalent to the reductant, an excess of standard iodide solution is added followed by titrating unreacted iodide with mercury (II) potentiometrically using the silver amalgam as indicator electrode. The potential breaks which averaged 350 mV per 0.1 ml of 0.05 M titrant were sharp enough for the precise determination of end points, and hence the high accuracy of the present method. In addition, besides simplicity and rapidity the stoichiometry of the reaction between iodate or periodate with the above reductants is still maintained even with the very low concentration.     

Determination of d-biotin at the microgram level

The iodate formed in the reaction of d-biotin with periodate is determined by reacting it with iodide and titrating the iodine with thiosulphate (to determine 90-950 mug of biotin), or the tri-iodide is measured spectrophotometrically to determine 20-80 mug of the test compound. Excess of periodate is masked with molybdate.     

Titrimetric Microdetermination of chloral hydrate by amplification reactions

A simple titrimetric method for estimation of 0.1–5 mg of chloral hydrate is presented. It depends on oxidation of an alkaline solution of chloral hydrate with a chloroform solution of iodine, removal of excess of iodine, oxidation of the resulting iodide with bromine, and iodometric titration of the iodate produced, giving 6-fold amplification. Alternatively, the iodide formed is oxidized with periodate, masking of the excess of periodate with molybdate at pH 3, and iodometric titration of the iodate, giving 24-fold amplification. The coefficient of variation does not usually exceed 2%, for above 1 mg of chloral hydrate but increases to 3.8% at the 0.1-mg level.     

Determination of hypophosphite and phosphite by their reduction of iodine,iodate, or periodate and mercury(I) titration of iodide

A new potentiometric method is adopted for the accurate determination of hypophosphite and phosphite alone or in their mixtures using alcoholic iodine, iodate, and periodate. Hg(I) was used as titrant for the produced iodide in case of using alcoholic iodine as oxidant or for the excess added iodide in case of iodate and periodate as oxidants using silver amalgam as the indicatior electrode. The potential breaks which average 300 mV per 0.1 ml of titrant were sharp enough for precise determination of endpoints, and hence the high accuracy of the present method.     

Micro and submicro iodometric determination of arsenite and sulphite ions by amplification reactions

Two methods are described for the micro and submicro iodometric determination of arsenite and sulphite ions involving 3- and 6-fold amplification reactions, respectively. The arsenite method is based on oxidation with an excess of periodate, masking of the unreacted periodate with molybdate, and final iodometric titration of the iodate released. The sulphite method depends upon oxidation with iodine and removal of its excess by extraction with chloroform, and oxidation of the iodide formed to iodate, which is determined iodometrically as usual. The two methods are simple, rapid, and accurate. The average recoveries obtained are 99.9 and 99.3% for arsenite and sulphite, respectively.     

Indirect amplification method for determining mercury by direct-current polarography. Application to organomercury compounds

An amplification method for the determination of 0.5–70 ppm (2.5 × 10⁻⁶ to 3.5 × 10⁻⁴ M) of Hg(II) is described. Hg(II) is reacted with a slight excess of KI, and the excess iodide is oxidized by bromine water and measured polarographically as iodate with sixfold amplification. Alternatively, the iodate formed is reacted to liberate iodine which is then reduced to iodide, and again oxidized to yield six iodate ions for every iodide ion originally present;

2. Microdetermination of Mercury in Organomercurial Compounds

polarographic reduction requires 36 electrons. Oxidation of the excess iodide with periodate yields four iodate ions for every iodide ion and therefore allows 24-fold amplification.Microdetermination of mercury in organomercurials is achieved using the sixfold method following closed flask combustion: the average percentage error for 10 determinations is ±0.40 and the time required for one sample run is 45 min.     

The Transition from pH Waves to Iodine Waves in the Iodate/Sulfite/Thiosulfate Reaction–Diffusion System

Nonlinear spatial temporal behavior of the iodate/thiosulfate/sulfite reaction is investigated both in a stirred and spatially extended media. In accord with the temporal dynamics in the homogeneous media, both propagating fronts and target patterns are achieved in the spatially extended medium. On increasing the iodate concentration the system evolves from exhibiting propagating fronts to circular waves and then shows target patterns and finally the iodine waves. Influences of concentrations of sulfite, thiosulfate and acid on the reaction kinetics and pattern formation are also investigated systematically, and transitions from pH waves to iodine waves can be achieved via adjusting the concentration of the three species. The propagation velocities of pH and iodine waves are understood with the quadratic and cubic autocatalysis of proton and iodide respectively.     

Sequential flow injection determination of iodate and periodate with spectrophotometric detection

A flow injection (FI) system is described for the sequential determination of periodate and iodate based on their reaction with iodide at pH 3.5. Two sample plugs were injected into the same carrier stream sequentially. One injection is for the iodate determination and the other for the sum of iodate and periodate determination. For iodate determination, molybdate solution buffered at pH of 3.5 was used for selective masking of periodate. The influences of reagent concentrations were studied by a univariable method and the influence of FI manifolds was studied using univariable and simplex method. Periodate and iodate can be determined in the range of 0.050-5.0 and 0.050-10 microg/ml, respectively. The 3 sigma limit of detection was 0.030 and 0.050 microg/ml for periodate and iodate, respectively. The proposed method has been applied for the sequential determinations of periodate and iodate in water samples.     

Separation of inorganic anions on hydrophobic stationary phases in ion chromatography

Inorganic anions were separated on hydrophobic stationary phases such as triacontyl-functionalized silica. Eluent conditions were examined in detail, and iodate, nitrate, iodide, and thiocyanate could be separated by using aqueous solutions. The effect of the eluent concentration on the retention of analyte anions was examined for a wide range of sodium sulfate concentrations of up to 1 M. The retention factor of hydrophobic anions decreased with increasing sodium sulfate concentration in the lower concentration region, while it increased with increasing sodium sulfate concentration in the higher concentration region. The addition of a small amount of an organic substance such as acetonitrile and tetraethylene glycol increased the retention of iodide and thiocyanate, while the addition of alcohols decreased their retention. Operating at lower temperature also increased the retention of analyte anions. It was expected that inorganic anions were retained on the stationary phase via hydrophobic interactions. The retention mechanism was discussed, considering the results obtained.

Highly Selective Photometric Method for the Determination of Periodate

ABSTRACT

A simple and selective photometric procedure was developed for the micro-determination of periodate in aqueous media. The method is based on the reaction of periodate with Gallocyanine at pH = 4.8. The reaction was monitored photometrically by measuring the absorbance of the reaction mixture at 620 nm. The effects of reagent concentration, temperature and influence of other species for the determinations of periodate were investigated. Periodate can be determined in the range of 0.02-2.20 μg/ml, with a relative standard deviation of 1.96% for ten replicate measurements of 0.13 μg/ml periodate. Periodate can be determined in the presence of iodate or iodide.     

Evaluation of ternary mobile phases for reversed-phase liquid chromatography: Effect of composition on retention mechanism

The effect of varying mobile phase composition across a ternary space between two binary compositions is examined, on four different reversed-phase stationary phases. Examined stationary phases included endcapped C8 and C18, as well as a phenyl phase and a C18 phase with an embedded polar group (EPG). Mobile phases consisting of 50% water and various fractions of methanol and acetonitrile were evaluated. Retention thermodynamics are assessed via use of the van’t Hoff relationship, and retention mechanism is characterized via LSER analysis, as mobile phase composition was varied from 50/50/0 water/methanol/acetonitrile to 50/0/50 water/methanol acetonitrile. As expected, as the fraction of acetonitrile increases in the mobile phase, retention decreases. In most cases, the driving force for this decrease in retention is a reduction of the enthalpic contribution to retention. The entropic contribution to retention actually increases with acetonitrile content, but not enough to overcome the reduction in the enthalpic contribution. In a similar fashion, as methanol is replaced with acetonitrile, the v, e, and a LSER system constants change to favor elution, while the s and c constants change to favor retention. The b system constant did not show a monotonic change with mobile phase composition. Overall changes in retention across the mobile phase composition range varied, based on the identity of the stationary phase and the composition of the mobile phase.     

A simplified method for the amplification of iodine

The sample solution is treated so that all iodine is present in the elemental state. This iodine is extracted into chloroform and thereby separated with very high selectivity from almost any matrix. Until now, in order to apply amplification via oxidation to iodate and reaction with iodide, a reextraction into a sodium hydroxide solution was necessary. In the new procedure the organic phase is shaken with bromine water. Thereby, the iodate formed moves completely into the water phase while the bromine accumulates in the chloroform. Remaining bromine in the water is destroyed with some formic acid. No buffer is needed, because the acid establishes the correct conditions for this reaction and also that between iodate and iodide. The iodine formed in sixfold amount can now be titrated visually or photometrically with thiosulfate or subjected to a second amplification cycle. The new procedure eliminates the reextraction, and the addition of some reagents especially sodium hydroxide which is the main contributor of extraneous iodine. Thus, the blank is reduced by a factor of 10 or more and is also more constant. Iodine at lower levels (< 1 μg/ml) can be determined and with higher reliability.     

p-Phenylenediamine as a chromogen for iodate and periodate in aqueous solution

Trace amounts of iodate and periodate in aqueous solution have been determined spectrophotometrically, based on the reaction of the ions with p-phenylenediamine, in acidic medium, to form pink-red-colored species with maximum absorption at 520 nm and adherence to Beer's law over wide concentration ranges of the ions. Further, the color reaction is fast and needs no extraction step.     

Microchemical determination of lodate and iodide in sea waters by flow injection analysis

A flow injection analysis method for iodate and iodide in sea water is described. The system involves spectrophotometric detection based on the catalytic, fading effect of either iodate or iodide on the indicator reaction of iron (III) thiocyanate and nitrite. With and without an anion-exchange column in the flow conduit, the system allows the determination of iodate and total iodine, respectively; iodide can be found by difference. Both iodate-iodine and total iodine can be determined in the range 0.75 to 150 g/1 on the sea water basis with analysis times of 20 min for iodate-iodine and 9 min for total iodine. The RSDs are within 1.3% for both iodate and iodide. Results are presented for the determination of iodate and iodide in sea waters and some brines associated with natural methane gas evolution.     

Spectrophotometric determination of periodate or iodate ions by liquid-liquid extraction as an ion-pair using tetramethylammonium iodide

A simple and accurate extractive Spectrophotometric procedure was developed for the microdetermination of periodate and iodate in aqueous media. The determination of periodate was based upon the extraction of the ion-pair formed between the periodate and tetramethylammonium iodide at pH 4 in chloroform followed by direct Spectrophotometric measurements at 509, 358 and 288 nm. The optimum concentration range evaluated by Ringbom's plot, the molar absorptivity, the Sandell's sensitivity and the stoichiometry of the formed ion-pair were critically determined. Iodate could be determined quantitively by the proposed procedure after oxidation to periodate with potassium persulphate. The effect of the diverse ions on the determination of the periodate and/or iodate by the proposed procedures was also investigated. The application of the method for the analysis of iodate or periodate in the artificial fresh water was successfully carried out.
