Speciation of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in environmental samples by using coprecipitation with praseodymium(III) hydroxide and determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry

A speciation procedure has been established for the flame atomic absorption spectrometric determination of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) based on coprecipitation of Cr(III) by using praseodymium(III) hydroxide (Pr(OH)₃) precipitate. In the presented system, Cr(III) was quantitatively (>95%) recovered at the pH range of 10.0?C12.0 on Pr(III) hydroxide, while the recoveries of Cr(VI) were below 10%. The method was applied to the determination of the total chromium after reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) by using hydroxylamine hydrochloride. The concentration of Cr(VI) is calculated by difference of total chromium and Cr(III) levels. The analytical parameters including pH of the aqueous medium, amount of Pr(III), centrifugation speed, sample volume were optimized. The influences of matrix ions were also investigated. The method was validated by the analysis of TMDA 70 fortified lake water certified reference material. The method was applied to the speciation of chromium in water samples.

A spectrofluorimetric method was described for the determination of drugs containing active methylene groups adjacent to carbonyl groups. The method was applied successfully to the determination of three life saving cardiovascular drugs, with narrow therapeutic indices: pentoxifylline (I), propafenone hydrochloride (II) and acebutolol hydrochloride (III), in laboratory-prepared mixtures, in commercial tablets and in plasma samples. The method involved the reaction of each of the tested drugs with N1-methyl nicotinamide chloride (NMNCl) in the presence of alkali, followed by addition of formic acid, where highly fluorescent reaction products were produced. The produced fluorescence were measured quantitatively at 472 nm (lambdaex 352 nm), 409 nm (lambdaex 310 nm) and 451 nm (lambdaex 266 nm) for (I), (II), and (III) respectively. The method was linear over concentration ranges of 10-1000 microg/ml , 0.2-12 microg/ml and 0.08-10 microg/ml in standard solutions for (I), (II), and (III) respectively. In spiked human plasma samples, calibration graphs were linear over concentration ranges of 20-1000 microg/ml, 0.2-15 microg/ml and 0.08-10 microg/ml for (I), (II), and (III) respectively. The method showed good accuracy, specificity and precision in both laboratory-prepared mixtures and spiked human plasma samples.

Spectrophotometric determination of some dibenzazepine drugs by electrophilic coupling

Two sensitive spectrophotometric methods for the determination of imipramine hydrochloride, clomipramine hydrochloride, desipramine hydrochloride, and trimipramine maleate in bulk and in dosage forms are described. The first method is based on the interaction of diazotized p-nitroaniline (DPNA) with the dibenzazepine drug in 5M hydrochloric acid. The second is based on the oxidative coupling of the dibenzazepine drug with 3-methylbenzothiazolin-2-one hydrazone (MBTH) in the presence of ammonium iron(III) sulphate in 0.1M hydrochloric acid. The resulting chromophores are measured at 575 nm (for the DPNA method) or at 620-630 nm (for the MBTH method), and are stable for at least 24 hr. The commonly encountered excipients and additives do not interfere with the determinations. Results from the analysis of pure drugs, commercial tablets and laboratory-prepared tablets by these methods agree well with those of official methods.     

On the mechanism of extraction of trivalent actinides and lanthanides with alkylamine hydrochlorides

The method to study the mechanism of actinides (III) and lanthanides (III) liquid-liquid amine extraction from chloride media has been suggested. The technique is based on the determination of distribution coefficients for extraction of these elements from mixed salting-out agent solutions with common anion. Distribution coefficients were found to be independent of mean ion activity of lithium cation at constant water activity, when extraction of trace amounts of Eu (III) and Cm(III) by tri-n-octylammonium hydrochloride from mixed LiCl−CaCl₂ solutions occurred. It has been concluded that lithium cation does not enter into the complexed extracted.

Speciation of Chromium in Natural Waters,Tea, and Soil with Membrane Filtration Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

A sensitive and selective method was developed for the speciation of chromium(III) and chromium(VI) in environmental samples based on membrane filtration and determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. Chromium(III) reacts with cochineal red A, yielding a complex that is adsorbed on a cellulose acetate membrane filter, whereas chromium(VI) remains in aqueous solution, permitting separation. After reduction of chromium(VI) to chromium(III) with hydroxylamine hydrochloride, the total concentration of chromium was determined, and the concentration of chromium(VI) was calculated by subtraction. The pH, amount of cochineal red A, and sample volume were optimized on the basis of the recovery of Cr(III). The influence of matrix ions was also investigated. The preconcentration factor was 94. The detection limit (3 sigma) for Cr(III) was 1.4 micrograms per liter. The method was validated using environmental certified reference materials. The method was successfully employed for the speciation of chromium in wastewater and lake water.

A simple and accurate complexometric method is proposed for the determination of Tl(III) using semicarbazide hydrochloride as a releasing agent. In the presence of diverse metal ions, thallium is complexed first with a known excess of EDTA, and the surplus EDTA is then titrated with standard zinc sulfate at pH 5.0–6.0 (hexamine) using xylenol orange indicator. An excess of 5% aqueous neutral solution of semicarbazide hydrochloride is then added and the released EDTA is titrated against standard zinc sulfate solution. The method works well in the range 2–50 mg of Tl(III) with relative errors < 0.5%, standard deviations 0.05mg and coefficient of variation 0.4%. The method is applied for the determination of thallium content in complexes and alloy compositions

Application of derivative, derivative ratio, and multivariate spectral analysis and thin-layer chomatography-densitometry for determination of a ternary mixture containing drotaverine hydrochloride, caffeine, and paracetamol

New selective, precise, and accurate methods are described for the determination of a ternary mixture containing drotaverine hydrochloride (I), caffeine (II), and paracetamol (III). The first method uses the first (D1) and third (D3) derivative spectrophotometry at 331 and 315 nm for the determination of (I) and (III), respectively, without interference from (II). The second method depends on the simultaneous use of the first derivative of the ratio spectra (DD1) with measurement at 312.4 nm for determination of (I) using the spectrum of 40 microg/mL (III) as a divisor or measurement at 286.4 and 304 nm after using the spectrum of 4 microg/mL (I) as a divisor for the determination of (II) and (III), respectively. In the third method, the predictive abilities of the classical least-squares, principal component regression, and partial least-squares were examined for the simultaneous determination of the ternary mixture. The last method depends on thin-layer chromatography-densitometry after separation of the mixture on silica gel plates using ethyl acetate-chloroform-methanol (16 + 3 + 1, v/v/v) as the mobile phase. The spots were scanned at 281, 272, and 248 nm for the determination of (I), (II), and (III), respectively. Regression analysis showed good correlation in the selected ranges with excellent percentage recoveries. The chemical variables affecting the analytical performance of the methodology were studied and optimized. The methods showed no significant interferences from excipients. Intraday and interday assay precision and accuracy values were within regulatory limits. The suggested procedures were checked using laboratory-prepared mixtures and were successfully applied for the analysis of their pharmaceutical preparations. The validity of the proposed methods was further assessed by applying a standard addition technique. The results obtained by applying the proposed methods were statistically analyzed and compared with those obtained by the manufacturer's method.
