Abstract
The extraction behaviour of arsenic(III) and arsenic(V) with ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate, sodium diethyldithiocarbamate and dithizone in organic solvents has been investigated by means of nameless atomic-absorption spectrophotometry with a carbon-tube atomizer. The selective extraction of arsenic(III) and differential determination of arsenic(III) and arsenic(V) have been developed. With ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate and methyl isobutyl ketone or nitrobenzene, when the aqueous phase/solvent volume ratio is 5 and the injection volume in the carbon tube is 20 mul, the sensitivities for 1% absorption are 0.4 and 0.5 part per milliard of arsenic, respectively. The relative standard deviations are ca. 3%. Interference by many metal ions can be prevented by masking with EDTA. The proposed methods are applied satisfactorily for determination of As(III) and As(V) in various types of water.
