Abstract: | A very simple, highly-sensitive and selective quenchofluorimetric method for the rapid determination of molybdenum(VI) in aqueous media is described. The method is based on the instantaneous quenching action by the metal-ion upon the native fluorescence of bathophenanthrolinedisulphonate (4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthrolinedisulphonate) solution lambda(ex) (max) 288 nm; lambda(em) (max) 444.8 nm] in the optimum pH-range of 3.0-3.7 at room temperature (25 +/- 5 degrees ). The fluorescence quenching is co-linear in the range of 0.01-1.0 ppm molybdenum. Large excesses of over 50 cations, anions and some common complexing agents were found to have no interference. Cu, Ni, Co, Fe and V can be tolerated only up to the corresponding amount of molybdenum. Interference from greater amounts can however be removed by a one-step ion-exchange separation process. The developed method was successfully tested over several standard alloys, synthetic mixtures of various compositions, factory effluents and in spiked environmental waters. |
