Abstract
A method for the simultaneous determination of Nb and Ta in steel and alloy by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) was proposed. 2-(5-Bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylamino phenol (5-Br-PADAP) was used as a pre-column chelating agent to form a ternary complex with Nb(V) and Ta(V) and tartaric acid. The ternary complexes of Nb(V) and Ta(V) were eluted within 8min on a C18 column with a mobile phase of methanol–water (55:45, v/v) containing 10mmoll−1 acetate buffer (pH3.5) and determined with spectrophotometric detection at 598nm. The detection limits for Nb(V) and Ta(V) were 0.60 and 0.72μgl−1, respectively, when the ratio of signal-to-noise is 3. The proposed method was used to analyze Nb and Ta in cast iron, alloy and stainless steel.
