Flow-injection spectrophotometry of vanadium by catalysis of the bromate oxidation of N,N'-bis(2-hydroxyl-3-sulfopropyl)-tolidine

A highly sensitive flow-injection method is proposed for the catalytic determination of vanadium(V) at sub-nanogram per milliliter levels using a new indicator reaction. The method is based on the catalytic effect of vanadium(V) on the bromate oxidation of N,N′-bis(2-hydroxyl-3-sulfopropyl)-tolidine. 1,2-Dihydroxybenzene-3,5-disulfonate was used as an activator in the vanadium(V)-catalyzed reaction and significantly enhanced the sensitivity of the method. Vanadium(V) in the range 0.01-3.0 ng ml⁻¹ was easily determined with sampling rate of about 30 h⁻¹. Vanadium(IV) could be also determined. The limit of detection (S/N=3) was 0.008 ng ml⁻¹ and the relative standard deviations were 1.4 and 1.6% for ten determinations of 0.2 ng ml⁻¹ vanadium(IV) and vanadium(V), respectively. Interferences from metal ions could be suppressed by the addition of ethylenediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(methylenephosphonic acid) as a masking agent. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of vanadium in water samples.

Determination of Trace Amounts of Vanadium by Kinetic-Catalytic Spectrophotometric Methods

Kinetic-catalytic spectrophotometric methods were proposed for the determination of trace amounts of vanadium element as vanadium（Ⅳ） and/or V（Ⅴ） ions. The vanadium（Ⅳ） as VO^2＋ ion and/or vanadium（Ⅴ） as VO3^- ion showed a catalytic effect on the kinetic reactions between a color reagent such as methylthymol blue （MTB） or SPADNS and bromate in acidic media. The rate of decrease in the absorbance of the reagent MTB at 440 nm or SPADNS at 510 nm was proportional to concentration of V（Ⅳ） and/or V（Ⅴ） ions in the solution. The linear ranges for determination of vanadium were obtained in the range of 1.0-150 and 5.0-100.0 μg/L by the fixed-time and slope methods, respectively, with using MTB as reagent. In the presence of SPADNS as reagent, the calibration curves were made in the amplitude 1.0-200.0 and 5.0-150 μg/L of vanadium ion by the fixed-time and slope methods, respectively. Using fixed-time method, the limits of detection were obtained to be 0.5 and 0.7 μg/L of vanadium in the presence of MTB and SPADNS as reagents, respectively. Detection limits of vanadium by slope method and reagents of SPADNS and MTB were obtained to be 3.5 and 3.8 μg/L of vanadium, respectively. The proposed methods were applied successfully to determination of vanadium in synthetic and real samples.

Kinetic spectrophotometric determination of trace amounts of selenium and vanadium

A sensitive kinetic spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of Se(IV) over the range of 45 to 4000 ng in 10 mL of solution. The method is based on the catalytic effect of Se(IV) on the reduction reaction of bromate by hydrazinium dichloride, with subsequent reaction of Ponceau S with products of the above reaction (chlorine and bromine), causing color changing of Ponceau S.

The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of vanadium in natural waters.

Determination of trace amounts of vanadium in air samples with 2-(8-quinolylazo)-5-N,N-diethylaminophenol by reversed-phase liquid chromatography

A reversed-phase liquid chromatographic method for the determination of trace amounts of vanadium is described. Metal ions are converted into 2-(8-quinolylazo)-5-N,N-diethylaminophenol chelates in an off-line system. The chelates are injected onto a Zorbax CN column and separated with an aqueous acetonitrile mobile phase containing no chromogenic reagent. Unter these conditions, only vanadium(V) is spectrophotometrically detected at 540 nm among the metal ions Al(III), Ba(II), Ca(II), Cd(II), Co(II), Cr(III), Cu(II), Fe(III), Ga(III), Hg(II), Mg(II), Mn(II), Ni(II), Pb(II), V(V) and Zn(II). Amounts of 8.0–200 pg of vanadium(V) in 100-μl injections can be determined without interference from 10-fold molar excesses of many cations. At 0.001 a.u.f.s., the detection limit (twice the peak-to-peak noise) for vanadium(V) is 8.0 pg in 100 μl of injected solution and the relative standard deviation at 120 pg of vanadium(V) in a 100-μl injection is 3.5%. The proposed method is applied to the determination of vanadium in rain water and airborne particulates.     

Trace analysis of vanadium as pentavalent vanadium using differential pulse polarography with a coupled catalytic homogeneous reaction

The differential pulse polarographic determination of the vanadium (V) ion coupled with a catalytic homogeneous reaction was carried out in a system containing the vanadium (V)-PAR complex and an oxidant in acetic/acetate buffer. On addition of the powerful oxidant, sodium bromate, the peak current for the reduction of the vanadium (V) complex was increased significantly by about 21 times. A calibration plot was found to be linear in the concentration range 0.05–0.25 g/ml and the detection limit was 5 ng/ml.     

Flow-injection chemiluminescent determination of vanadium(IV) and total vanadium by means of catalysis on the periodate oxidation of purpurogallin

A flow-injection chemiluminescent (CL) method is proposed for the successive determination of nanogram levels of vanadium(IV) and total vanadium. The method is based on the catalytic effect of vanadium(IV) on the oxidation of purpurogallin by periodate to produce light emission at 4 °C. The presence of hydrogen carbonate enhanced the light emission arising from the vanadium(IV)-catalyzed reaction. Since vanadium(V) did not catalyze the CL reaction of purpurogallin, vanadium(V) was determined after being reduced to vanadium(IV) by using an on-line silver-reducing column. Calibration curves for vanadium(IV) and (V) were linear in the range 0.1–10 ng ml⁻¹ with sampling rate of about 50 h⁻¹. The limit of detection for signal-to-noise ratio of 2 was 0.05 ng ml⁻¹ and the relative standard deviations were 1.4 and 1.6% for ten determinations of 2.0 ng ml⁻¹ vanadium(IV) and (V), respectively. Interferences from metal ions could be eliminated by the use of O,O′-bis(2-aminoethyl)ethyleneglycol- N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid and diphosphate as masking agents. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of vanadium(IV) and total vanadium in fresh water samples.     

Catalytic spectrophotometric determination of vanadium in seawaters based on the bromate oxidative coupling reaction of metol and 2,3,4-trihydroxybenzoic acid.

A new, simple, sensitive and selective catalytic method is developed for the determination of vanadium in natural and sea waters. The method is based on the catalytic effect of V(V) and/or V(IV) on the bromate oxidative-coupling reaction of metol with 2,3,4-trihydroxybenzoic acid (THBA). The reaction is followed spectrophotometrically by tracing the oxidation product at 380 and/or 570 nm after 5 min of mixing the reagents. The optimum reaction conditions are 6.4 x 10(-3) mol l-1 of metol, 2.0 x 10(-3) mol l-1 of THBA and 0.16 mol l-1 of bromate at 35 degrees C and in the presence of an activator-buffer solution of 1 x 10(-2) mol l-1 of tartrate (pH = 3.10). Following the recommended procedure, V(V) and/or V(IV) can be determined with linear calibration graphs up to 0.75 ng ml-1 and detection limits, based on the 3Sb criterion, of 0.008 and 0.018 ng ml-1 at 380 and 570 nm, respectively. The developed method was successfully applied, without any separation or preconcentration processes, to the determination of vanadium in natural and seawaters following the direct calibration and standard addition techniques, respectively.     

Kinetic-spectrophotometric determination of trace amounts of vanadium

A simple and sensitive kinetic-spectrophotometric method is described for the determination of vanadium and the possible mechanism of catalytic reaction is proposed. The method is based on the vanadium(V)-catalyzed oxidation of 1,8-diaminonaphthalene (DNA) by potassium bromate (Tiron as activator) at pH 3.8 and 40 degrees C. The reaction was monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the increase in absorbance of oxidation products at 505 nm after a fixed time (6 min). The proposed method allowed the determination of vanadium in the range 0.025-15 ng ml(-1) with good precision and accuracy and the detection limit was down to 0.01 ng ml(-1). The method was found to be relatively selective and was applied successfully to the determination of vanadium in food and hair samples without previous separations. Recovery experiments have also been performed; excellent results were obtained.     

Differential kinetic determination of cobalt and vanadium with thermal-lens monitoring

On the example of a model indicator reaction of oxidation of cobalt (II) and vanadium (IV) ions by a complex of iron (III) with 1,10-phenantroline, resulting in the formation of tris-(1,10-phenantroline) iron (II), an application of thermal-lens detection of analytical signal with differential kinetic methods is reported. For the simultaneous differential kinetic determination of cobalt (II) and vanadium (IV) with thermal-lens signal detection (514.5 nm, 35.5 mW), the achieved limit of detection (LOD) is 2 ng/ml for both metals, matching the respective values for individual determination. In comparison to spectrophotometric techniques, the effect of synergy, which reduces the sensitivity of detection in the system, is found to be negligible. In general, the sensitivity of differential kinetic determination of cobalt (II) and vanadium (IV) with thermal-lens registration of signal is superior to the analogous procedure with spectrophotometric control of the reaction velocity by two orders of magnitude.

A method for the quantitative determination of vanadium(V), based on the reduction of vanadium(V) by hydrazine, has been described. The reduction is carried out in high concentration of hydrochloric acid and the excess hydrazine back-titrated against standard potassium bromate, using the dead-stop end-point procedure. Hydrazine is preferentially oxidized by bromate in presence of vanadium(IV). Accurate results have been obtained over a wide range of vanadium(V) concentration.     

Continuous flow system for the determination of trace vanadium in natural waters utilizing in-line preconcentration/separation coupled with catalytic photometric detection

A sensitive and rapid method is presented for the determination of vanadium at ng to sub-ng ml(-1) levels in natural waters, in which in-line preconcentration/separation is directly coupled with catalytic detection of vanadium in a flow-injection system. Vanadium was adsorbed on a small column packed with Sephadex G-25 gel and desorbed with a small volume of 0.010 M HCl. The catalytic action of vanadium on the oxidation of chromotropic acid (1,8-dihydroxy-3,6-naphthalenedisulphonic acid) by bromate in pH 3.8 buffered media was used in the sensitive determination of vanadium. Effective preconcentration/separation of trace vanadium can be achieved from Fe(III), Cu(II) and a large excess of sodium chloride in seawater sample. A linear calibration using a 5 m sample loop was obtained for vanadium in the range 0-2.5 ng ml(-1). The limit of detection was 0.02 ng ml(-1) and the relative standard deviation was 1.2% for 1.0 ng ml(-1) vanadium (n=5). The present FIA system is rapid and sensitive and can be readily applied to river water and coastal seawater samples.     

Liquid chromatographic determination of vanadium in petroleum oils and mineral ore samples using 2-acetylpyridne-4-phenyl-3-thiosemicarbazone as derivatizing reagent

Liquid chromatographic method has been developed, based on precolumn derivatization of vanadium(V) with 2-acetylpyridine-4-phenyl-3-thiosemicarbazone (APPT). The complex is extracted in chloroform together with palladium(II), tin(II) and iron(III) and eluted and separated completely from Kromasil 100 C-18, 10 μm (25 cm × 4.6 mm i.d.) column with methanol:water:acetonitrile (60:30:10, v/v/v) with a flow rate of 1 ml/min. UV detection was at 260 nm. Linear calibration curve was obtained with 1-12.5 μg/ml vanadium(V) with detection limit of 8 ng/injection (20 μl). A number of metal ions tested did not affect the determination of vanadium. The test mixtures were analyzed for vanadium(IV) and vanadium(V) contents and relative% error was obtained ±1-8%. The method was applied for the determination of vanadium in petroleum oils and mineral ore samples with vanadium contents of 0.32-2.3 and 121.7-717.3 μg/g with R.S.D. of 1.5-4.5 and 0.38-4.7%, respectively. The results correlated with reported values and by atomic absorption spectrophotometry.     

The hexacyanomanganate(IV)-hydrogen peroxide reaction. Kinetic determination of vanadium

The reaction between hexacyanomanganate(IV) and hydrogen peroxide in acidic medium is strongly catalysed by vanadium. The stoichiometry has been proved to be Delta[Mn(IV)]/Delta[H(2)O(2)]=1. S-shaped absorbance-time curves are obtained for a wide range of conditions, which seems to be due to the transient formation of hydroperoxyl radicals, HO(2).; therefore, the reaction is autoinduced. The reaction kinetics is first order on the hexacyanomanganate(IV) concentration. Complex dependence of the initial rate on the H(2)O(2) as well as H(+) concentrations are observed both for the uncatalysed and for the catalysed reactions, but the rate laws are given and reaction mechanisms are proposed. The catalytic effect of vanadium has been used to determine traces of vanadium (the (IV) and (V) oxidation states are determined together). By applying the initial rate method a detection limit of 0.9 ng ml(-1) (18 nM), and a linear range up to 50 ng ml(-1) were found. The relative standard deviations for the 4 and 25.5 ng ml(-1) levels were 5.2 and 2.5% respectively. Positive kinetic interferences from Cr(VI), Hg(I) and Ag(I) have been observed; other interferences are less severe and Cr(IIl), Fe(II) and Fe(III), among many others, do not interfere. The Mn(IV) solution must be prepared daily and its conservation needs some care (0 degrees C) but the proposed method has been applied to the determination of vanadium in a phosphate rock (reference material, BCR No. 32) without previous separations. Recovery experiments have also been performed; excellent results were obtained in both cases.
