5-(6-Nitro-2-Benzothiazoleazo)-8-Aminoquinoline as a Sensitive Reagent for the Spectrophotometric Determination of Cobalt and Nickel

Since 8-aminoquinoline has (N,N) as its chelating atom,it is more selective than 8-hydroxyquinoline and 8-mercaptoquinoline. So recently, derivative of 8-aminoquinoline has attracted much attention as analytical reagent. In this work, a new type of 8-aminoquinoline derivative 5-(6-nitro-2-benzothiazoleazo)-8-aminoquinoline (NBTAQ) has been synthesized and tested as a possible chromogenic reagent for the spectrophotometric determination of cobalt and nickel. The result shows that in the presence of the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and borax buffer solution, cobalt and nickel react with the reagent to form 1:2 blue complexes, respectively. The absorption peaks of Co-NBTAQ and Ni-NBTAQ complexes were located at 650 and 615 nm, respectively, and the apparent molar absorbtivities are 9.21×l0⁴(Co) and 1.13×l0⁵ (Ni) I.mol^-1.cm^-1. The methods adhere to Beer's law for 0-0.32 μg. Ml^-1 of cobalt and 0-0.24 μg. Ml^-1 of nickel and the colour system is stable for no less than 24 h. The experimental variables affecting colour formation and the possible interference of co-existing ions were thoroughly studied. The optimum conditions established were incorporated in the recommended procedures.

Kinetic–catalytic–spectrophotometric determination of low concentrations of molybdenum in white wines

The paper describes the determination of the molybdenum content in white wines based on its catalytical action on the kalium iodide oxidation by hydrogen peroxide in acid medium.

The optimum reaction conditions (the catalyst, KI and H₂O₂ concentrations, the pH value, the order of the reagent additions, the temperature) have been found by studying the effect of the reaction variables.

The influence of some metallic ions (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺) and complexing anions (F⁻, C₂O²⁻₄, EDTA⁴⁻) on the catalyzed reaction rate was elucidated.

The molybdenum concentration was estimated by the tangent, fixed-time and fixed-absorbance method. The obtained average values for molybdenum content in white wines are within the 1.77×10⁻⁷–1.83×10⁻⁷ mol l⁻¹ range.     

Efficient Removal of Lead from Washing Effluent of Lead-contaminated Soil with Garlic Peel

Wastewater produced from the soil washing process contains heavy metals, which limits its reuse for washing. So it is necessary to develop an efficient and economical way to recycle it, and this study presented a biosorption method to realize this goal. A typical soil sample contaminated by lead was taken from the real field near a lead smelting factory, used for the toxic metals extraction with dilute citric acid. A leach liquor was obtained with lead ions at the level of 12.35 mg/L, Cd 1.2 mg/L, Cu 1.5 mg/L, Zn 2.6 mg/L, as well as the coexisting anions, such as sulphate, silicate, chloride at the concentration of several hundred miligram per liter. The garlic peel was modified by a simple chemical saponification process and used as the biosorbent for toxic metal removal. Firstly, the adsorption behavior of lead ions on the saponified garlic peel was systematically investigated using the synthetic solutions, and then the adsorption mechanisms were explored by detailed experiments combining with the thermodynamic calculation reuslts of the aqueous system of Pb(Ⅱ)-citrate-H₂O. It was found that in artificial solution containing 0.01 mol/L citrate, the maximum adsorption capacity of 261.0 mg/g was reached at pH near 3.0, and also at this very pH value the Pb²⁺ and Pb(H₂Cit)⁺ were the dominant lead species, which are favorable for adsorption due to its easier approaching to the -COO^- ligands in the saponified garlic peel partilces via charge attraction, and the appearance of Pb(HCit)⁰ and Pb(Cit)^- at pH above 3.0 inhibits the adsorption. Secondly, the real leach liquor was used for adsorption tests, and twice adsorption under the optimal conditons would decrease the residual concentrations of Pb, Cd, Cu and Zn to zero. After elution by using 0.1 mol/L nitric acid, the adsorbed metals can be recovered and garlic peel can be reused for at least 10 cycles effectively. This study presents a prospective biosorption method for economical and efficient removal of the lead ions from soil washing wastewater with citric acid as the leaching reagent.

Flow-injection spectrophotometric determination of salbutamol with 4-aminoantipyrine

A flow-injection method is proposed for the determination of salbutamol. The method involves the condensation of salbutamol with 4-aminoantipyrine in the presence of hexacyanoferrate (III) in alkaline medium, producing a coloured quinoneimide that was detected absorptiometrically at 500 nm.

The values of four variables (two reactor lengths and two reagent concentrations) were optimised by means of the sequential simplex method and their influence studied in univariant way.

The method was validated and compared with the HPLC method established in the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). Linearity was demonstrated in the range 0–74.1 mg/L of salbutamol sulfate (r² = 0.9999). Commercial samples of pharmaceuticals containing salbutamol sulfate (tablets and oral solutions) were analysed and the results obtained with the proposed method agreed with the USP method in less than 1.6%, with precision similar to the HPLC method (1%–2% R.S.D.). The sampling frequency was 75 samples/hour.

Correction of iron interface in the spectrophotometric flow injection catalytic determination of molybdenum in plants

Iron interference in the spectrophotometric catalytic determination of molybdenum based on the iodide-hydrogen peroxide reaction can be corrected by using sulphosalicylic acid as masking and color-forming reagent. The catalytic influence of iron ions is circumvented to the extent of about 90% and correction of any remaining iron ions is possible by monitoring the colored iron(III)-salicylate complex at 490 nm. In this way, iron is also determined. With the proposed system, molybdenum can be determined in plant and food digests within the 0–100 μg Mo 1⁻¹ range in the presence of up to 25 mg Fe 1⁻¹, at a sampling rate of about 50 determinations h⁻¹. The relative standard deviation of 10 consecutive measurements was estimated as < 2%. Results for samples were comparable with those obtained by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. In addition, recoveries within the range 94–100% were calculated.

Copper determination in natural water samples by using FAAS after preconcentration onto amberlite XAD-2 loaded with calmagite

A procedure for separation and preconcentration of trace amounts of copper in natural water samples, has been proposed. It is based on the adsorption of copper(II) ions onto a column of Amberlite XAD-2 resin loaded with calmagite reagent. This way amounts of copper within the range from 0.0125 to 25.0 μg, in a sample volume of 25 to 250 ml, and pH from 3.7 to 10.0 was concentrated as calmagite complex in a column of 0.50 g of Amberlite XAD-2 resin. Copper (II) ion was desorpted by using 5.0 ml of 2 mol l⁻¹ hydrochloric acid. Detection and determination limits of the proposed procedure for 250 ml sample volume were 0.15 and 0.50 μg l⁻¹, respectively. Selectivity test showed that (in the indicated concentration), calcium(II) (500 mg l⁻¹), magnesium(II) (500 mg l⁻¹), strontium(II) (50 mg l⁻¹), iron(III) (10 mg l⁻¹), nickel(II) (10 mg l⁻¹), cobalt(II) (10 mg l⁻¹), cadmium(II) (10 mg l⁻¹) and lead(II) (10 mg l⁻¹) did not interfere in copper determination by this procedure. Precision of the method, evaluated as the relative standard deviation by analyzing a series of seven replicates, was 2.42% for a copper mass of 1.0 μg in a sample volume of 100 ml. The accuracy of the proposed procedure was evaluated by means of copper determination in reference biological samples. The achieved results were in good agreement with certified values. The extractor system had a sorption capacity of 1.59 μmol of copper per gram of resin loaded with calmagite. The proposed procedure was applied for copper determination by FAAS in natural water samples. Samples were collected from different places of Salvador city, Bahia, Brazil. The achieved recovery, measured by the standard addition technique, showed that the proposed procedure had good accuracy. A good enrichment factor (50×) and simplicity are the main advantages in this analytical procedure.     

Solvent impregnated hollow fibre for a selective preconcentration of Pb(II) in an on-line determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry

A solvent impregnated hollow fibre (SIHF) module has been developed for the preconcentration of lead by using bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (DEHPA) dissolved in kerosene as extractant. The module has been designed for an on-line determination of trace amounts of lead(II) at mg l⁻¹ (ppm) level by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS).

The SIHF system is based on the metal liquid–liquid distribution between aqueous solutions of different acidity and the mentioned organic solution. The highest enrichment factor of Pb(II) was determined at pH=4.0 using a formic acid/formiate buffer solution.

Preconcentration experiments were carried out at low lead(II) concentration (mg l⁻¹ level) by using the SIHF module. This study includes the influence of hydrodynamic and chemical conditions on the loading and elution of Pb(II) on the SIHF, i.e., flow rate through the fibres, acidity of the eluent (as nitric acid concentration) and the chemical nature of the acid used in the elution. Breakthrough curves were determined for different sampling flow rates, 0.54 ml min⁻¹ was selected to minimise the loading volume of Pb(II) sample. 0.1 M nitric acid was chosen as eluent solution, and perchloric acid also shows appropriate elution characteristics. The degree of concentration obtained for Pb(II) are of 10 fold the original concentration. The quantification limit for Pb(II) achieved with this preconcentration system is 0.17 mg l⁻¹.

The results obtained indicate that the SIHF system can be applied for on-line determination of trace amounts of lead(II) by FAAS.     

Binding of Co(II) and Cu(II) cations to chemically modified wool fibres: an IR investigation

Wool fibres were modified by treatment with tannic acid (TA) solution or by acylation with ethylenediaminetetraacetic (EDTA) dianhydride. The unmodified and modified fibres were subsequently treated with Cu²⁺ and Co²⁺ solutions, at alkaline pH, and analysed by Attenuated Total Reflectance, ATR/IR spectroscopy to evaluate the changes induced in the structure of the fibre by metal binding. The spectral changes were correlated to metal adsorption results obtained by Inductive Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES).

The IR results were discussed in relation to our previous findings on the metal binding mode of Bombyx mori and Tussah silk fibres; the changes observed in the spectra were explained by considering the different affinity of the fibres for the modifying reagent and the amount of the metal absorbed. More relevant spectral changes were observed upon Cu²⁺ complexation rather than Co²⁺ complexation, according to the metal absorption results. The most relevant changes were observed for the EDTA-modified wool sample treated with Cu²⁺, according to the higher affinity of wool for EDTA. The IR spectra were quantitatively evaluated by the intensity ratio between the Amide I and Amide II bands (I_AmideI/I_AmideII) and its trend as a function of metal absorption was reported.

The present investigation demonstrated that the interaction between fibre and metal and the subsequent fibre modification depend on the chemical nature of the fibre, the metal cation and the modifying reagent.     

The effect of external stimuli on the Bovine Serum Albumin adsorption capacity of poly(acrylamide/maleic acid) hydrogels prepared by gamma rays

The effects of external stimuli such as pH of the buffer solution, ionic strength, temperature and the amount of poly-electrolyte monomer in the hydrogel system on the Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) adsorption capacity of poly(acrylamide/maleic acid) [P(AAm/MA)] hydrogels were investigated. Poly-electrolyte P(AAm/MA) hydrogels with varying compositions were prepared by irradiating acrylamide/maleic acid/water mixtures with γ rays at ambient temperature. Langmuir type adsorption isotherms were observed for all prepared hydrogels. Increase of ionic strength of the buffer solution from 0.01 to 0.1 mol dm⁻³ decreased the adsorption capacity of hydrogels and zero adsorption was observed in the presence of 0.1 mol dm⁻³ Na⁺ and Ca²⁺ ion in the adsorption medium. The adsorption capacity of hydrogels was found to increase from 0 to 120 mg BSA/g dry gel, by changing external stimuli and hydrogel composition.

The ion-pair association constant of oxalate with fac-tris(2-aminomethylpyridine)cobalt(III)

The equilibrium constant K for the ion-pair formation fac-[Co(pic)₃]³⁺ + C₂O₂₂₋ fac-[Co(pic)₃]³⁺/C₂O₄²⁻¹ where pic = 2-aminomethylpyridine, has been determined spectrophotometrically at 0.35 M (KCl) ionic strength and 25.0°C, using four different calculation approaches. The best results were obtained when the concentration of the minor component (the cobalt complex ion) was not neglected in comparison with the oxalate ion concentration. The value of K (5.3 M⁻¹) increases when the supporting electrolyte is LiCl (K = 8.2 M⁻¹). The effect of the ionic strength variation from 0.35 to 2.0 M (LiCl) was also investigated.     

Methods for separation of trace amounts of platinum and investigation of the influence of interfering elements during platinum determination in copper ores and copper concentrates by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry

A THGA graphite furnace with Zeeman background correction has been used to determine platinum content in copper ore and copper concentrate at the part per billion (ppb) concentration level. Two different procedures for the separation of trace platinum have been applied: (i) use of an ion exchange resin; and (ii) a two-stage method based on platinum separation on inorganic carriers. The influence of interfering elements in the matrix (Cu, Pb, Fe, Ti, V, Au, Pd, Ir, Rh and Al) has been examined using a graphite furnace. It was found that the presence of Cu (12.5–100 mg l⁻¹), Pb (100–500 mg l⁻¹), Fe (100–2000 mg l⁻¹), Ti (25–100 mg l⁻¹), V (25–100 mg l⁻¹), Au (25–300 mg l⁻¹), Pd (20–250 mg l⁻¹), Ir (0.5–3.5 mg l⁻¹) and Rh (0.025–1 mg l⁻¹) in the samples analyzed has no effect on the platinum absorption signal when using a recommended temperature program (T_pyr=1300°C, T_at=2450°C). Spectral interference was observed, which was due to aluminum, as a result of the close neighborhood of the Pt 265.945-nm and Al 266.039-nm lines. This interference could not be eliminated by the Zeeman background correction.
