Abstract
Vanadium was concentrated from sea and natural waters by coprecipitation with iron (III) hydroxide, and separated from iron and other elements by ion exchange, using hydrogen peroxide as a very selective eluting agent. The element was determined photometrically with diaminobenzidine. The ion-exchange process was also used to separate vanadium from other elements in the analysis of silicate rocks and marine plants. Coefficients of variation of 2.8%, 1.3% and 2.5% were found for the determination of the element in sea water, marine sediments and marine plants at levels of 1.8 μg/l, 57 μg/g and 2.2 μg/g, respectively. The U.S. Geological Survey standard granite GI was found to contain 17.2±0.9μg V/g.
