Determination of Vanadium with Chlorosubstituted Hydroxamic Acids for Photometric and Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometric Determination

Abstract

The eight newly synthesized chlorosubstituted hydroxamic acids are described for the extraction and spectrophotometric determination of vanadium. The sensitive and selective reagent, N-m-Chlorophenylpalmito hydroxamic acid, (m-CPPHA), which gives violet coloured vanadium complex was extracted with chloroform from 6M HCl. The violet coloured complex thus obtained has a maximum absorbance at 520 nm and molar absorptivity 4.9 ± 10³1mol^?1cm^?1. The Beer's law obeyed in the region 0.50-12.0ppm. Effects of acidity, reagent concentration, diverse ions have also been investigated. A comparison has been made with atomic absorption spectrophotometric method. Vanadium has been determined in the environment, e.g. plant, soil, rock, etc.
