Ruthenium(III) has been efficiently extracted from 0.05 M sodium succinate at pH 9.5 by 2-octylaminopyridine in xylene and stripped with aqueous 10% (w/v) thiourea solution and determined spectrophotometrically. Various parameters viz., pH, weak acid concentration, reagent concentration, stripping agents, contact time, loading capacity, aq.: org. volume ratio, solvent has been thoroughly investigated for quantitative extraction of ruthenium(III).

Ruthenium(III) was also separated from ternary mixtures like Os(VIII), Pd(II); Pd(II), Pt(IV); Pd(II), Au(III); Pd(II), Cu(II); Fe(II), Cu(II); Ni(II), Cu(II); Co(II), Ni(II); Se(IV), Te(IV); Rh(III), Pd(II); Fe(III), Os(VIII). The stoichiometry 1: 2: 1 (metal: succinate: extractant) of the proposed complex was determined by slope analysis method by plotting graph of logD _[Ru(III)] versus logC _[2-OAP] and logD _[Ru(III)] versus logC _[succinate]. The interference of various cations and anions has been studied in detail and the statistical evaluations of the experimental results are reported. The method was successfully applied for the analysis of ruthenium in various catalysts, synthetic mixtures corresponding to the composition of alloys and minerals.     

Oximidobenzotetronic acid as a reagent for the separation and gravimetric determination of palladium and cobalt

Oximidobenzotetronic acid is recommended for the separation and gravimetric determination of palladium and cobalt An ethanolic solution of the reagent quantitatively precipitates palladium(II) from solutions which are 0.75 N in acid up to pH 5.1, the complex is weighed as Pd(C₉H₅NO₄)₂. Cobalt(II) can be determined in the filtrate after the precipitation of palladium. With 0.5 N acid solutions, no interference was found from Pt(IV), Ir(IV), Rh(III), Ru(III), Os(IV), Au(III), Ag(I), Cu(II), Fe(III), Ni(II), Hg(II).

Ion chromatography of chloro complexes of the platinum group metals and gold using bonded phase silica substrates

The ion chromatography of chloro complexes of Au(III), Ir(IV), Ir(III), Os(IV), Pd(II), Pt(IV), Rh(III) and Ru(III) was investigated using anion-exchange and ion-interaction techniques involving silica-based phases. Chloride was either absent or at a very low level and the pH was high enough to enable steel-fabricated liquid chromatography equipment to be used. With anion exchange, Ir(IV), Ir(III), Os(IV) and Pt(IV) gave good stable chromatography and all produced linear calibration plots, except Ir(IV) owing to instability of the sample solution. The detection limits were Ir(III) 5, Os(IV) 10 and Pt(IV) 2 ng ml^?1. The ion-interaction technique was not so successful, only Au(III) and Pd(II) giving stable chromatography. The calibration plots were slightly curved, although acceptable, and the detection limits were 10 and 30 ng ml^?1 for Au (III) and Pd(II), respectively.     

Chloroform extraction of ethyl xanthate complexes from sulphuric acid media

Pd(II), Bi, As(III), Sb(III), Se(IV) and Te(IV) are completely extracted and Au(III) is largely extracted over the range of acid concentration investigated. Fe(II), Tl(I), Rh(III) and Cr(VI) are only slightly extracted and Se(VI), Te(VI), Ru(III), Cr(III), Mn(II), Zn, Ce(IV), Ir(IV) and Ge(IV) are not extracted at all. Depending on the acid concentration, the remaining elements are all partly extracted. Results are compared with those obtained in an earlier study of the extraction of xanthate complexes from hydrochloric acid media. The processes involved in the formation of some xanthate complexes and potential analytical separations are discussed.     

Ion flotation behaviour of thirty-one metal ions in mixed hydrochloric/nitric acid solutions

The ion flotation of 31 metal ions in hydrochloric/nitric acid solution with the cationic surfactant cetylpyridinium chloride was investigated. A 25-ml portion of 0.27-2.87 x 10(-4)M metal ion and 1.8-6.0 x 10(-4)M cetylpyridinium chloride solution in 0.17-3.4M acid mixture ([HCl]:[HNO(3)] = 2.4:1) was subjected to flotation in a cell, 22.5 cm high and 4.0 cm in diameter, for 5 min, with nitrogen bubbles. Ir(IV), Pt(IV), Ge(IV), Sn(IV), Bi(III), Au(III), Tl(III), Pd(II) and Sn(II) were floated from solution in 95-100% yield; Ru(III), Rh(III), Ir(III), Hg(II), Ag(I) and Tl(I) were partly floated, while Cr(VI), Ti(IV), Zr(IV), Ga(III), In(III), Fe(III), Sb(III), Al(III), Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), CD(II) and Pb(II) were floated with less than 20% yield. The flotation behaviour of these metal ions in the mixed acid system was compared with that in hydrochloric acid. The flotation is more efficient in the mixed acid system.     

Sandwich Complexes of the As_4～(2-) Aromatic Ring with Some Transition Metals

The equilibrium geometries,energies,harmonic vibrational frequencies,and nucleus independent chemical shifts(NICS) of the new type sandwich structures [As4MAs4]n-(M = Fe,Co,Ni,Ru,Rh,Pd,Os,Ir and Pt;n = 0,1 or 2) are investigated at the B3LYP level.All the [As4MAs4]n-species adopt staggered(D4d) conformations as their stable structures and eclipsed(D4h) conformations as their transition states,and once the sandwich complexes are formed,the As42- square properties remain unchanged.The NICS calculation confirms that the complexes of Fe,Co,and Ni are aromatic with negative NICS values,and those of Ru,Rh,and Ir exhibit slight aromaticity,while those of Pd,Os,and Pt show slight antiaromaticity.     

Extractive concentration of platinum-group elements and their determination by atomic-absorption spectrophotometry

The extraction of Pt, Pd, Ir, Rh, Ru, Ag, Au, Co, Cu, Ni and Fe with n-octylaniline has been investigated. Noble metals are extracted 10(3)-10(4) times better than Cu, Ni, Co and Fe. A method of determination of Pt, Pd, Ir, Rh and Ru is proposed. They are first separated from Cu, Ni, Co and Fe by means of extraction (and then determined, in either the aqueous or organic phase, by atomic-absorption spectrophotometry. The atomic absorption of platinum metals (with the exception of Pd) is affected by other elements of the platinum group and by non-noble metals. La(NO(3))(3) and Nd(NO(3))(3) lower the limit of detection for Pt, Rh, Ir and Ru and inhibit the effect of Co, Cu, Ni, Fe, Bi, Zn, Na, etc. on their determination. Lanthanum and neodymium chlorides and sulphates produce a similar effect but only on the determination of Pt and Rh. The coefficient of variation of the determination, in both phases, is within 2-6.8%.

Application of an imidazoline group-containing chelating fiber for the determination of trace noble metals in superhigh-temperature alloys

An imidazoline group-containing chelating fiber was prepared by means of the reaction of nitrile groups with ethylenediamine in an hydrazine-modified polyacrylonitrile fiber. The adsorption properties of the chelating fiber for Au(III), Pd(II), Pt(IV), Ir(IV), Os(IV), Rh(III) and Ru(IV) ions, such as binding capacity, distribution coefficient, sorptive rate and quantitative elution of Au(III), Pd(II) and Pt(IV) ions were investigated. The imidazoline group-containing chelating fiber possessed high binding capacities and good adsorption kinetic properties, exhibited high affinity for noble metals in 0.1-1.0 mol/L HCl and could be efficiently re-used. After the separation of trace Au(III), Pd(II) and Pt(IV) ions from a matrix using the chelating fiber, these ions could be determined by ICP-AES with satisfactory results, and the relative standard deviation for Au(III), Pd(II) and Pt(IV) ions was less than 6%.

An extractive spectrophotometric procedure has been developed for the determination of palladium (II) at microgram levels. The palladium(II) chelate of 7-iodo-8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulphonic acid is extracted into n-butanol. Extraction is maximal (95%) from 0.2M perchloric acid. Beer's law is valid at 430 nm over a wide range of palladium concentration from 2.5 ppm. The molar absorptivity is 958 1.mole(-1).mm(-1). The system can tolerate a large excess of Co(II), Ni(II), Rh(III), Pt(IV), Cr(III), W(VI), chloride, phosphate, citrate and tartrate. Small quantities of Ru(III), IR(III) and EDTA do not interfere, but serious interference is caused by Fe(III), V(V), Mo(VI) and Os(VIII).     

Study on the retention behaviour of platinum metal complexes in reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography

The separation and determination of Os(IV), Ir(IV), Pt(II), Ru(III), Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes with 2-(6-methyl-2-benzo-thiazolylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol (MBTAE) was studied on RP-HPLC. The effects of methanol concentration, pH-value of the mobile phase, column temperature (T), total flow rate and foreign ions on the retention behaviour have been investigated in detail. It has been shown that the logarithm of the capacity factor (ln k) is in linear relation to the methanol concentration of the mobile phase and the reciprocal of the column temperature (T). The six complexes can be separated within 30 min in a methanol-buffer system.     

Exthaktiv-Spekthophotometrische Bestimmung Von Rh(III) in Gegenwart Der Platinmetalle,Gold Und Silber Unter Anwendung Von 1-(2-Pyridylazo)-2-Naphthol

Abstract

A spectrophotometric method is described for the determination of 25–150μ;g of rhodium (III) using 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol. One milligram of Ir(III) or Ir(IV), 200μ;g Ru(IV), 400μ;g Os(IV), 350μ;g Pt(IV), 5 mg Ag(I), and 100μ;g Au(III) do not interfere. Larger amounts of silver and gold are removed as AgCl and, after reduction with ascorbic acid, Au metal. A modification of the method permits the successive determination of 4–100μ;g of Hh(III) and 50–500μ;g of Pd(II) in a single sample.     

Pyridine-2-aldoxime and 6-methylpyridine-2-aldoxime as gravimetric reagents for estimation of palladium(II) and uranium(VI)

Pyridine-2-aldoiumc (I) has been found to be a sensitive reagent for the gravimetric determination of palladium(II). From chloride medium, precipitation is complete at pH 3.0-11.0, and in solution containing 1NHNO(3) to pH6.0. The compositions of the precipitates (dried at 130 degrees ) correspond to PdL(2), and PdL(2). HNO(3) (HL representing the reagent) respectively. Pd(II) can be estimated gravimetncally in presence of acetate, oxalate, tartrate, phosphate, fluoride borate, perchlorate, Cu(II), Cd, Co(II), Fe(II), Ni, Zn, Pb, Bi, Sb(III), Pt(IV), Ir(IV), Ru(III), Rh(III); Os(IV) in quantities more than twice that of Pd(II), and Ag(I), Au(III) and Fe(II) even m traces cause serious interference. The yellow uranium(VI) complex with (I) is precipitated quantitatively over the pH range 3.5-10.5 and, after washing and drying corresponds to the composition (c(6)h(5)n(2)o)(2)uo(2), The uranium(VI) complex with 6-methylpyridine-2-aldoxime (II) is precipitated quantitatively over the pH range 3.0-10.5, and after washing and drying at 120-130 degrees corresponds to UO(2),(C(7),H(7),N(2)O)(2). Both (I) and (II) are suitable for the estimation of 1-50 mg of uranium(VI) in the presence of up to 10-fold quantities ofTh(IV), La(III) and Ce(III) even when present together. Ce(IV) in quantities more than three times that of U must be reduced to Ce(III). Tartrate, citrate, phosphate, Ti(IV) and Zr interfere, but acetate, oxalate, and borate do not.
