Solid-Phase Extraction and Spectrophotometric Determination of Trace Amounts of Mercury in Natural Samples

A sensitive and selective solid phase spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace amounts of inorganic mercury is described. Hg²⁺ was sorbed on a silica gel-packed column as an Hg²⁺–N,N-bis(2-mercaptophenyl)ethanediamide (H₂L) complex. The Hg²⁺ complex was eluted from the column using 7mL of acetone. Various parameters including pH, column flow rate, and ligand concentration were optimized. The complex was found to obey Beers law from 2.3 to 73.7µgmL^–1 within the optimum range when the preconcentration factor was two. The effective molar absorption coefficient at 523nm was 1.17×10³Lmol^–1cm^–1 at 523nm. The concentration limits in Beers law dropped from 0.09 to 2.95µgmL^–1 within the optimum range when the preconcentration factor was 50. The relative standard deviation at a concentration level of 5µgmL^–1 Hg²⁺ (9 repetitive determinations) was 1.6%. The detection limits are 0.34µgmL^–1 and 0.015µgmL^–1 when the preconcentration factors are 2 and 50, respectively. The method has been used for routine determination of trace levels of Hg²⁺ in natural waters. The potential application of this method for the removal of Hg²⁺ from natural samples (sea water and lake water) spiked with 100ngmL^–1 of Hg²⁺ was studied. In order to validate the proposed method, LGC 6156 (harbour sediment – extractable metals) was analysed by this method. The results proved that excellent extraction of Hg²⁺ from both natural water samples was obtained by solid phase extraction using N,N-bis(2-mercaptophenyl) ethanediamide.

Abstract

Colourless silver-gelatin complex is quantitatively reduced by ascorbic acid to yellow silver sol in water within the pH range 7.5–10.0 at room temperature. The determination of 1–10μg/ml of ascorbic acid is possible at 415 nm in the presence of glycine, alanine, fructose, sucrose, citric, tartaric, oxalic, malic, succinic acids and also in the presence of various reducing agents. The molar absorptivity of ascorbic acid at the δ_max is found to be 21500 lit mol^?1 cm^?1 and the Sandell sensitivity of the sol is 8.18x10^?3 μg ascorbic acid cm^?2 for 0.001 absorbance. The relative standard deviation is ±0.22% and the confidence limit (20 determinations, 95%) being 8.806±0.0093%.

Spectrophotometric Determination of Trace Amounts of Chromium with Citrazinic Acid

A sensitive and selective spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace amounts of chromium(VI) is described, based on diazotization and coupling reactions. Chromium(VI) oxidizes hydroxylamine in acetate buffer of pH 4.0 ± 0.5 to nitrite, which then diazotizes p-aminoacetophenone to form diazonium salt. The diazonium salt is then coupled with a new coupling agent, citrazinic acid in an alkaline medium, which gives an azo dye with an absorption maximum at 470 nm, a molar absorptivity of 2.12 × 10⁴L mol^–1cm^–1, and a Sandell's sensitivity of 0.00246 g/cm². The color is stable for 6 h and the system obeys Beer's law in the range 2–15 g chromium(VI) in a final volume of 10 mL. The detection limit of chromium(VI) is 0.04 g/mL. Chromium(III) can be determined after it is oxidized with bromine water in an alkaline medium to chromium(VI). The developed method has been successfully applied to the analysis of chromium in alloy steels, industrial effluents, and pharmaceutical preparations.

Flotation‐Spectrophotometric Determination of Trace Amounts of Thorium

A simple, sensitive and reproducible flotation‐spectrophotometric method for the determination of thorium is reported. The method is based on the ion‐associate formation between thorium, xylenol orange (XO) and cethyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) which is floated in the interface of the aqueous phase and n‐hexane by vigorous shaking. By discarding the aqueous solution and n‐hexane, the adsorbed ion‐associate (Th‐XO‐CTAB) on the wall of a separating funnel was dissolved in a small volume of ethanol solvent, and its absorbance was measured at 568 nm. The effects of different parameters such as pH, concentrations of HCl, XO, and CTAB, volume of n‐hexane, and standing and shaking time were studied. The calibration graph was linear in the concentration range of 2–200 ng mL^?1 of thorium(r = 0.9994). The limit of detection (LOD) is 1.4 ng mL^?1. The relative standard deviations (RSD) at 50 and 175 ng mL^?1 of thorium were 2.5% and 1.0% (n = 7), respectively. The method was successfully applied to the determination of thorium in gas mantel 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.

Spectrophotometric Catalytic Determination of Trace Amounts of Selenium Based on the Reduction of Azurea by Sulphide

ABSTRACT

A sensitive catalytic kinetic spectrophotometric method for determining ng ml^?1 concentrations of selenium is described. The method, based on the catalytic effect of Se (IV) on the reduction of azureA by sulphide, is monitored spectrophotometrically at 600 nm. The linearity range of the calibration graph is dependent on the concentration of sulphide. The variables affecting the rate of the reaction were investigated and the optimum conditions were established. The method is simple, rapid, precise, sensitive, free from many interferences and is widely applicable. The limit of detection is 2.5ng ml^?1 of Se. The relative standard deviation of seven determinations of 100 ng ml^?1 Se was 1.5%. The method was applied to the determination of selenium in spiked water, Kjeldahl tablets, synthetic samples and health care products.     

Extraction Spectrophotometric Determination of Trace Chlorine Dioxide with Methylene Blue

Abstract

The coloration reagent - leucomethylene blue, the reduction product of methylene blue, is used to determine the concentration of chlorine dioxide in the presence of Cl₂ and anion species such as OCl^?, ClO₂ ^? and ClO₃ ^?. This simple spectrophotometric method is performed by using the extractant 1,2-dichloroethane at pH 1.3. The linear range of ClO₂ measurement extends to 0.95 mgl^?1 with a detection limit of 0.02 mgl^?1. The presence of chlorine and hypochlorite ion can be masked by oxalic acid. The permissible maximum concentration of ClO₂ ^? is 2.0 mgl^?1, and ClO₃ ^? anion does not interfere with the measurement.     

Solid Phase Extraction and Simultaneous Spectrophotometric Determination of Trace Amounts of Copper and Iron Using Mixture of Ligands

 A novel sensitive and simple method for rapid and selective extraction, preconcentration and determination of iron (as its bathophenanthroline complex) and copper (as its neocuproine complex) using octadecyl silica cartridges and dual wavelength spectrophotometry is presented. The dual wavelength method (533 nm for the iron-bathophenanthroline and 454 nm for the copper-neocuproine as the analytical wavelength) is used to eliminate spectral interferences. Extraction efficiency and the influence of flow rates of sample solution and eluent, pH, amount of neocuproine, bathophenanthroline and hydroxylamine hydrochloride, type and least amount of eluent for elution of iron and copper complexes from cartridge, break-through volume and limit of detection are evaluated. The effects of various cationic and anionic interferences on percent recovery of iron and copper are also studied. Extraction efficiencies >95% are obtained by elution of cartridges with minimal amount of organic solvent. Iron and copper were determined in the range of 3–100 ng mL⁻¹. The limits of detection are 0.98 and 1.13 ng mL⁻¹ for iron and copper, respectively. The proposed method is applied successfully to the determination of both analytes in river, tap and well water samples. Author for correspondence.

Spectrophotometric Determination of Trace Amounts of Titanium in Geochemical and Metallurgical Samples

Abstract

The reaction between cyclohexan-1,2-dione bissalicyloylhydrazone and titanium(IV) has been studied spectrophotometrically. An orange complex (λ = 470 nm, ? = 1.49 × 10⁴ 1.mol^?1.cm^?1) is quickly formed at pH 1–2.5 in a 3+2 V/V ethanol/water medium. Interferences (more than 65 species) have been investigated. In presence of some masking agents most of metal ions do not interfere. The orange complex has been satisfactorily used for the determination of titanium in amphibolites, granites, suspended matter, Portland cement, bauxite, cast iron and duraluminium alloy. The results are compared with those obtained using AAS and ICP methods.
