Abstract

A highly sensitive spectrophotometric method has been developed for determination of chromium(VI), based on oxidation of I − to I − 3 in acid medium, then formation of a 1:1 ion-association compound of I − 3 with a basic xanthene dye in the presence of poly(vinyl alcohol). The molar absorptivity is 1.79 × 10 5 1.mole −1.cm −1 at 600 nm for the Rhodamine B system, 1.56 × 10 5 1.mole −1.cm −1 at 600 nm with Ethylrhodamine B, 1.56 × 10 5 1.mole −.cm −1 at 570 nm with Rhodamine 6G and 2.01 × 10 5 1.mole −1.cm −1 at 590 nm with Butylrhodamine B, respectively. Preconcentration of chromium(VI) by an improved trioctylamine extraction procedure greatly increases the selectivity of the method and can be applied in the spectrophotometric determination of trace amounts of chromium(VI) in tap water, hot-spring water and river water.
