Abstract: | Summary In the present work an improvement of radiochemical neutron activation analysis for determination of nanogram levels of vanadium is described. The method is based on post-irradiation wet ashing and solvent extraction of vanadium with N-benzoyl-N-phenyl-hydroxylamine (BPHA) forming a violet chelate complex in strongly acidic medium. For quality assurance purposes a procedure for determination of the overall chemical yield using spectrophotometry of the V-BPHA complex is described, and possible interferences are evaluated. The procedure was applied to the determination of vanadium in reference materials and selected food samples from Slovenia. |
