Abstract
3-Hydroxyflavone, morin and quercetin are suitable for the fluorescent detection of hafnium and zirconium under proper acidity and reagent concentration conditions. 3-Hydroxyflavone is the most sensitive reagent for both metals. Substantially acid solutions are preferred for the reactions of hafnium and zirconium to increase selectivity despite decreasing reaction sensitivity. The hydroxyflavone hafnium chelates are more stable to acid than the zirconium chelates especially with morin and quercetin. The very low background fluorescence of quercetin permits the detection of hafnium in strong perchloric acid where the fluorescence of the other two reagents hinders detection.
