Abstract
AbstractVanadium is quantitatively retained on 2‐(5‐bromo‐2‐pyridylazo)‐5‐diethylaminophenol (5‐Br‐PADAP)‐ammonium tetraphenylborate with microcrystalline naphthalene or by a column method in the pH range of 2.1–4.5 from a large volume of aqueous solutions of various samples. After filtration, the solid mass consisting of the vanadium complex and naphthalene was dissolved with 5 mL of dimethylformamide and the metal was determined by the third derivative spectrophotometry. Vanadium complex can alternatively be quantitatively adsorbed on ammonium tetraphenylborate‐naphthalene adsorbent packed in a column and determined similarly. About 0.05 μg of vanadium can be concentrated in a column from 250 mL of aqueous sample, where its concentration is as low as 0.2 ng/mL. The interference of a large number of anions and cations has been studied and the optimized conditions developed were utilized for the determination of trace amount of vanadium in various samples.
