Abstract
Yttrium reacts with 5-(4′-chlorophenylazo)-6-hydroxypyrimidine-2,4-dione (I), 5-(2′-bromophenylazo)-6-hydroxypyrimidine-2,4-dione (II), 5-(2′,4′-dimethylphenylazo)-6-hydroxypyrimidine-2,4-dione (III), 5-(4′-nitro-2′,6′-dichlorophenylazo)-6-hydroxypyrimidine-2,4-dione (IV), 5-(2′-methyl-4′-hydroxyphenylazo)-6-hydroxypyrimidine-2,4-dione (V) to form a dark pink complexes, having an absorption maximum at 610, 577, 596, 567 and 585 nm, respectively. The complex formation was completed spontaneously in theil buffer solution and the resulting complex was stable for at least 3 h after dilution. Under the optimum conditions employed, the molar absorptivities were found to be 1.60×10 4, 1.29×10 4, 1.96×10 4, 1.45×10 4 and 1.21×10 4 l mol −1 cm −1 and the molar ratios were (1:1) and (1:2) (M:L). The linear ranges were found within 95 μg of yttrium in 25 ml solution. One of the characteristics of the complex was its high tolerance for calcium and hence a method of separation and enrichment of microamounts of yttrium by using calcium oxalate precipitate was developed and applied to measure yttrium in nickel-base alloys. Interfering species and their elimination have been studied. The precision and recovery are both satisfactory.
