Abstract
A fairly selective and sensitive spectrophotometric method has been developed for determination of copper after extraction of its 9, 10-phenanthrenequinone monoximate complex into molten naphthalene in the pH range of 6.1-8.4. At room temperature, the solid naphthalene containing the metal complex is separated by filtration, dissolved in dimethylformamide (DMF) and the absorbance measured at 470 nm against the reagent blank. Beer's law is obeyed in the concentration range, 0.0-9.6 micrograms of copper in 10ml of DMF. The molar absorptivity and sensitivity are 6.30 X 10(4) 1 mol-1 cm-1 and 0.001 micrograms cm-2, respectively. The interference of various ions has been studied and the method has been applied for the determination of copper in various standard reference materials, beers, wines, human hair and environmental samples.
