Abstract
A new sensitive spectrophotometric method for titanium determination, based on the ternary Ti-Chrome Azurol S (CAS)-cetyltrimethylammonium (CTA) system, was developed. The molar absorptivity is 7.3 × 10 4 liters mol −1 cm −1 at λ max = 565 nm. The maximum absorbance is attained in 5 min at pH 1.3 ± 0.1 and at CAS and CTA concentrations of 1.5 × 10 −4 and 5 × 10 −4 M, respectively. Zirconium and hafnium in the presence of ascorbic acid are the only interfering metals. Hydrogen peroxide and EDTA interfere with the titanium determination as well. The proposed method was applied to the determination of titanium (about 1 × 10 −2%) in aluminum metal. The method, based on the Ti-Eriochrome Cyanine R-CTA system, is similar to the above method. Among other cationic surfactants, cetylpyridinium chloride (CP) and zephiramine were examined. The color effects when using CP, and especially zephiramine, are worse than in the presence of CTA.
