Removal of graphite by oxidation with perchloric acid plus periodic acid Inapplicability to the spectrophotometric determination of manganese in steel

An attempt has been made to improve the Willard and Greathouse periodate method for the determination of manganese in high-carbon steel and cast iron by oxidizing the graphite with periodic acid in the presence of perchloric acid and phosphoric acid. Graphite is rapidly oxidized at 150 degrees by this mixture but manganese is lost by volatilization as the heptoxide and decomposition of the latter on hot surfaces to manganese dioxide. No way was found for either the quantitative removal and recovery of manganese by volatilization or for quantitative return to the main solution. The spectrophotometric determination of manganese in the supernatant liquid after allowing graphite to settle yields imprecise but not wholly unacceptable results; for the highest accuracy, graphite should be removed along with silica following dehydration of the latter with perchloric acid.     

The determination of beryllium and manganese in aerosols by atomic absorption spectrometry with electrothermal atomization

The determination of beryllium and manganese in air particulate matter collected on filter material is discussed. Destruction by digestion with nitric and perchloric acids and by low-temperature ashing with dissolution of the ash in a hydrofluoric-nitric acid mixture were tested. The graphite furnace parameters were investigated for different acid solutions. Interferences of some cations and anions that are abundant in aerosol material are described. Accuracy was checked against standard samples. For manganese, the results are compared with those obtained by energy-dispersive x-ray fluorescence.     

Oxidation of organic substances with compounds of trivalent manganese: XVII. Coulometric generation of the diphosphate complex of trivalent manganese in sulphuric acid medium and hexaaquomanganese(III) ions in perchloric acid medium

Graphite-tube effects on perchloric acid interferences on aluminum and thallium in the stabilized-temperature platform furnace

The determination of aluminum in the presence of perchloric acid is shown to depend upon the quality of the pyrolytic coating of furnace tubes. With new pyrolytically coated tubes, no interference was found from 0.5 M HClO₄ on 0.5 ng Al and no decrease in signal or deterioration of the pyrolytic coating was found after more than 150 firings. Very little interference was found in the determination of thallium in perchloric acid. In both cases the literature reported severe interferences. The determination of thallium and aluminum in perchloric acid appears to be more sensitive to the quality of the pyrolytic graphite coating than any of the materials studied previously here.

A New Approach in the Analysis of the Substituent Distribution of Carboxymethyl Celluloses

An approach is presented for the quantitative analysis of the substituent distribution in carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). Standard substances have been isolated by preparative HPLC and characterised by ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy. The availability of these reference substances enabled a quantitative HPLC determination of glucose and its seven carboxymethyl derivatives by anion exchange chromatography and pulsed amperometric detection. A comparison of sulphuric acid and perchloric acid hydrolysis for conventional CMC samples gave higher yields for perchloric acid. The yield of the eight CMC building units decreased with increasing DS for both hydrolysis methods. Results were different, when samples from new synthesis concepts were investigated. While CMCs from induced phase separation showed increasing hydrolysis yields up to a DS of 1.9 regioselectively substituted 2,3-O-CMC gave lower yields with increasing DS. For 2,3-O-CMC samples sulphuric acid proved to be the superior hydrolysis medium.     

Chemical analysis of manganese nodules: Part III. Determination of Thallium,Molybdenum and Vanadium after Anion-Exchange Separation

A method is described for the determination of thallium, molybdenum and vanadium in manganese nodules. After dissolution of the sample in a mixture of perchloric and hydrofluoric acids, thallium and molybdenum are adsorbed on the strongly basic anion-exchange resin Dowex 1 (chloride form) from 6 M hydrochloric acid containing bromine. Molybdenum is eluted with 2 M perchloric acid-1 M hydrochloric acid and determined by a.a.s. with a nitrous oxide—acetylene flame. Thallium is eluted with an aqueous solution of sulphur dioxide and, after evaporation of the eluate, this element is determined by a.a.s. with an air—acetylene flame. The same method is used for the assay of vanadium in the 6 M hydrochloric acid effluent. The method was used successfully for the determination of thallium, molybdenum and vanadium at the ppm level in numerous samples of nodules from the Pacific Ocean and Lake Michigan.

The Determination of the Titre of Ascorbic Acid Standard Solutions

Abstract

A new method for the determination of the titre of ascorbic acid standard solutions employing potassium dichromate as a primary standard has been developed. In a pyrophosphate medium, the pyrophosphate complex of divalent manganese is oxidized by dichromate to the pyrophosphate complex of tervalent manganese; the latter oxidizes o-tolidine reversibly with formation of the corresponding quinonediimine, which is visually titrated by the ascorbic acid standard solution.     

Chemical analysis of manganese nodules : Part II. Determination of uranium and thorium after anion-exchange separation

A method is described for the determination of uranium and thorium in manganese nodules. After dissolution of the sample in a mixture of perchloric and hydrofluoric acids, uranium is adsorbed on the strongly basic anion-exchange resin Dowex 1 (chloride form) from 6 M hydrochloric acid. The effluent is evaporated and the residue is taken up in 7 M nitric acid—0.25 M oxalic acid; thorium is then isolated quantitatively by anion-exchange on Dowex 1 (nitrate form). Thorium is eluted with 6 M hydrochloric acid and determined spectrophotometrically by the arsenazo III method. Uranium is eluted from the resin in the chloride form with 1 M hydrochloric acid and then separated from iron, molybdenum and other co-eluted elements on a column of Dowex 1 (chloride form); the medium consists of 50% (v/v) tetrahydrofuran, 40% (v/v) methyl glycol and 10% (vv) 6 M hydrochloric acid. After removal of iron and molybdenum by washing the resin with a mixture of the same composition and with pure aqueous 1 M hydrochloric acid, the adsorbed uranium is eluted with 1 M hydrochloric acid and determined by fluorimetry. The method was used successfully for the determination of ppm-quantities of uranium and thorium in 60 samples of manganese nodules from the Pacific Ocean.     

The interference effect of a mixture of magnesium, aluminium, sulfate and chloride on the atomization and vaporization of manganese in graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry.

In this study, the interference effects of Al3+, Mg2+, Cl- and SO4(2-) ions on the determination of manganese by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) were investigated. At first, the interferences caused by Al2(SO4)3, AlCl3, MgCl2 and MgSO4, which are the most possible major compounds for the combinations of the ions mixed, were individually considered. Then, the effects caused by mixtures containing various amounts of MgSO4 and AlCl3 were studied. If the pyrolysis temperature is below 800 degrees C, AlCl3 changes the vaporization mechanism of manganese. These interferences disappear at higher pyrolysis temperatures. At the same time, aluminum salts may cause the formation of refractory compounds between aluminum and manganese (like spinel MnAl2O4) that shift the absorption signals of manganese to higher temperatures. Magnesium sulfate, by itself, does not cause any depression of manganese signals. In fact, it acts as a modifier, preventing volatilization losses of manganese during the pyrolysis step. A conclusion was reached that detailed investigation of the interferences in a complex media is a very difficult experimental and theoretical task. To solve practical problems, one may better follow the general notions developed in GFAAS toward complex matrices.     

Precipitation from homogeneous solution : Precipitation of molybdenum as sulfide with thioacetamide

The determination of molybdenum with thioacetamide by precipitation of molybdenum sulfide from homogeneous solution has been studied. The optimum acidity is about 0.75 N in perchloric acid and a two-fold excess of reagent suffices. Pressure flasks and large excesses of reagent are unnecessary. Heating for 60 min at boiling water -temperatures yields quantitative precipitation.
